puppet module

This is a puppet module. It is meant to be used on nodes as well as puppetmasters. Current feature set:

• Debian and RedHat family supported
• Always enable the client
• Configure a CA or non-CA puppetmaster
• Works with passenger or with puppetmaster standalone
• Works well with puppetlabs/puppetdb modules
• agent_options and master_options hash to set arbitrary options to agent and master

The puppetmaster with passenger uses puppetlabs package, which means that it is not as robust as a pure puppet-based recipe.

Synopsis

Except for configuration parameters, only the top puppet class should invoked. Use the master parameter to enable the puppetmaster.

puppet class

Parameters

• certname Same as puppet configuration parameter. Set the certificate name that the puppetmaster will see and, if applicable, the puppetmaster will have.

• server Same as puppet configuration parameter. Server used by the puppet agent.

• master Boolean, false by default. If true, the node will be configured as a puppetmaster.

• manage_service Boolean, true by default. If you set it to false, the proper service (apache2 or puppetmaster) will not be declared and managed by this module. It is useful in case of conflict with the puppetdb module.

• passenger If passenger (and master) is true, the puppetmaster will have Apache and passenger in frontend. Use this if you want to serve more than a couple of nodes.

• manage_passenger Boolean, true by default. If $passenger is true, but you do not want Puppet to manage it (only install the puppetmaster-passenger package), you can set this to false.

• autosign Same as puppet configuration parameter. Use this for automated testing.

• puppetdb If true, it will set the proper storeconfig configuration. It wil not set puppetdb, use puppetlabs module for that.

• ca Used by a puppetmaster to set it as the CA or not.

• ca_server Used by the agent for certificate management. See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/scaling_multiple_masters.html for more details.

• master_options Hash used to add any additionnal configuration settings for the master. See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html

• agent_options Hash used to add any additionnal configuration settings for the agent. See http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html

Usage

For puppet agents

class { 'puppet':
  certname => 'puppet.local.lan',
  server   => 'puppet.local.lan',
  agent_options => {
    'runinterval => '900',
    'splay' => true,
  }
}

For puppet server, using webrick. The fqdn is not the certname of the puppetmaster.

$servername = 'puppet.local.lan'
host { $::fqdn:
  ip           => $::ipaddress_eth0,
  host_aliases => [ $::hostname, $servername ],
}
class { 'puppet':
  master    => true,
  certname  => $servername,
  passenger => false,
  agent_options => {
    'runinterval => '900',
    'splay' => true,
  }
  master_options => {
    'manifest' => '/etc/puppet/environments/$environment/site.pp',
    'modulepath' => '/etc/puppet/environments/$environment/modules:/etc/puppet/environments/$environment/site',
  }
}

For puppet server, using passenger. The fqdn is not the certname of the puppetmaster.

$servername = 'puppet.local.lan'
host { $::fqdn:
  ip           => $::ipaddress_eth0,
  host_aliases => [ $::hostname, $servername ],
}
class { 'puppet':
  certname  => $servername,
  master    => true,
  passenger => true,
}

How to use with puppetdb

Here is an example bootstrapping sequence for Ubuntu Trusty:

# make sure locales are correctly configured:
for i in $(env |grep ^LC_[A-Z]*= |sed 's/^LC_[A-Z]*=//' | sort -u); do locale-gen $i; done
apt-get -y install puppet git

# Download puppet modules for bootstrap
BS=/root/bootstrap
mkdir -p $BS/modules
cd $BS
puppet module --modulepath $BS/modules install puppetlabs-puppetdb
git clone https://github.com/spiette/puppet-puppet.git $BS/modules/puppet
cd modules/puppet
git checkout trusty
cd $BS

# Bootstrapping code
cat >bootstrap.pp <<EOF
apt::source { 'puppetlabs':
  location   => 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com',
  repos      => 'main dependencies',
  key        => '4BD6EC30',
  key_server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
}
Class['Apt::Update'] -> Package <| |>

Class['Puppet'] -> Class['Puppetdb']

class { 'puppetdb': }
class { 'puppetdb::master::config':
  puppet_service_name      => 'apache2',
  puppetdb_startup_timeout => '30',
}
class { 'puppet':
  certname  => $::fqdn,
  server    => $::fqdn,
  master    => true,
  puppetdb  => true,
  manage_service => false,
  manage_passenger => false,
  passenger => true,
}
EOF

# You may need to run the following command 2 or more times
# for postgresql/puppetdb to be running correctly
puppet apply --modulepath=/root/bootstrap/modules bootstrap.pp

# You are now ready to populate your puppet environment (in /etc/puppet/environments/production)
mkdir -p /etc/puppet/environments/production/{manifests,modules}
# then run:
puppet agent --enable
puppet agent --test
