puppet_docker_repo

Puppet Repository to demonstrate using kitchen-puppet with Docker.

The tests are stored in the repository rather than separately in /test/integration (as is the chef format)

This demonstrates using test-kitchen, puppet and kitchen-verifier-serverspec to build and verify a server.

Workstation Software Installation

The first thing you need to do is install the test-kitchen environment on your workstation. A useful link is: http://misheska.com/blog/2013/12/26/set-up-a-sane-ruby-cookbook-authoring-environment-for-chef/

The follow instructions are for Windows PC (it will be similar for Mac):

1. Download and install virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
2. Download and install Docker
3. Download and install the Windows RubyInstaller for latest 64 bit Ruby 2.x from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads.
   • Check the option to add ruby to your path.
   • Install the devkit
4. Then install the following gems

• gem install librarian-puppet
• gem install test-kitchen
• gem install kitchen-puppet
• gem install kitchen-docker
• gem install kitchen-verifier-serverspec

5. git clone the repository https://github.com/neillturner/puppet_docker_repo

Check everything installed

In a Docker CLI window in the puppet_docker_repo directory run command

kitchen list

NOTE: I used Windows Kitematic and select Docker CLI from the bottom of the screen to get a Docker CLI POwershell Windpws This will return a list if everyting is correctly installed.

Create Servers in Virtual Box on your Workstation.

kitchen create base-centos-7 -l debug

Build the server.

kitchen converge base-centos-7 -l debug

Verify the server.

kitchen verify base-centos-7 -l debug

Shutdown the server.

kitchen destroy base-centos-7 -l debug
