Used these steps:

To come up with the following:

#sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jpsutton/cockpit
apt::ppa { 'ppa:jpsutton/cockpit': }

#sudo apt-get update
apt::update

#sudo apt-get install cockpit
apt::source { 'cockpit': }

#sudo apt-get install glib-networking
apt::source { 'glib-networking': }


#sudo /usr/sbin/remotectl certificate --ensure --user=root

exec { 'remotectl certificate':
  command => "/usr/sbin/remotectl certificate --ensure --user=root",
  path    => ['/usr/bin' , '/bin', '/usr/sbin/'],
  creates => '/etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/~self-signed.cert'
}

#sudo /usr/libexec/cockpit-ws

Note still need to start this as the system starts

Notes to self for re-building box

Destroy the box:

vagrant halt

vagrant destroy

Remove puppet/modules leaving the .gitignore

Remove puppet.tmp folder

vagrant up

add the following file to the vagrant box

touch /tmp/mysql.key

nano /tmp/mysql.key

copy paste of mysql.key

sudo apt-key add /tmp/mysql.key

might have to try this a few times

vagrant provision --provision-with=puppet

might need to do this a couple of times

@stevenrombauts okie works after a few provisions... the first couple seem to fail and then it automagically works eventually. I've managed to side step the need for https:// for cockpit here:

So the admin area can now be accessed through http://joomla.box:9090

@stevenrombauts thanks for the tips, I think this is working as expected now
