Puppet module for installing Puppet agent, and Puppet server

Installs Puppet agent:

Optional support for installation of a Puppetmaster (using server => true)

  • Configurable support for static or git-backed dynamic environments (requires puppet-git module)
  • Storeconfig options (off, ActiveRecord or PuppetDB)
  • Passenger support (requires puppet-apache and puppet-passenger modules)

Installation

Using GIT

git clone git://github.com/theforeman/puppet-puppet.git

Downloadable Tarball

Requirements

Only really tested on RedHat and Debian. Patches welcome for other OSes :)

Setup

This is a parameterized class, but the defaults should get you going:

Standalone agent with defaults:

echo include puppet | puppet --modulepath /path_to/extracted_tarball

Customization

As a parameterized class, all the configurable options can be overridden from your wrapper classes or even your ENC (if it supports param classes). For example:

# Agent and cron (or daemon):
class { '::puppet': runmode => 'cron' }

# Agent and puppetmaster:
class { '::puppet': server => true }

# You want to use git?
class { '::puppet':
  server          => true
  server_git_repo => true
}

# You need need your own template for puppet.conf?
class { '::puppet':
  agent_template  => 'puppetagent/puppet.conf.core.erb',
  server          => true,
  server_template => 'puppetserver/puppet.conf.master.erb',
}

# Maybe you're using gitolite, new hooks, and a different port?
class { '::puppet':
  server                   => true
  server_port              => 8141,
  server_git_repo          => true,
  server_git_repo_path     => '/var/lib/gitolite/repositories/puppet.git',
  server_post_hook_name    => 'post-receive.puppet',
  server_post_hook_content => 'puppetserver/post-hook.puppet',
}

# Perhaps you want to install without foreman?
class { '::puppet':
  server                => true,
  server_reports        => 'store',
  server_external_nodes => '',
}

Look in init.pp for what can be configured this way, see Contributing if anything doesn't work.

To use this in standalone mode, edit a file (e.g. install.pp), put in a class resource, as per the examples above, and the execute puppet apply e.g:

cat > install.pp <<EOF
class { '::puppet': server => true }
EOF
puppet apply install.pp --modulepath /path_to/extracted_tarball
