puppet

Puppet skeleton for future use. Requires Puppet > 3.5.0 to work (ideally use Puppet 3.6.1).

Bootstrap

Run as sudo initially when you are setting up a new instance:

apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/RichardKnop/puppet.git /usr/local/puppet
bash /usr/local/puppet/scripts/bootstrap.sh

Then you can either:

1. Set up a fully qualified domain name
2. Or edit the certname in puppet.conf

Setting Up Fully Qualified Domain Name

Let's say the hostname will be:

foo.staging.something.net

Edit /etc/hosts file:

#/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 foo.staging.something.net foo localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Edit /etc/hostname file:

#/etc/hostname
foo.staging.something.net

Change the current hostname (so you don't have to restart the instance:

sudo hostname foo.staging.something.net

Editing Certname

This will be done when you run:

cd /usr/local/puppet
sudo bash scripts/deploy.sh foo.staging.something.net

The bash script will copy puppet.conf.example into puppet.conf and replace ${certname} placeholder.

The deploy.sh script will also apply manifests so you can skip next step.

You can also optionally use second parameter specifying branch of this repo to be used. For example:

cd /usr/local/puppet
sudo bash scripts/deploy.sh foo.dev.something.net develop

Will use develop branch.

Applying Puppet Manifests

cd /usr/local/puppet
sudo puppet apply manifests/
