To install\u00a0puppet\u00a0on a Cloudstar (Linux) Server, the following steps need to be performed:<\/p>\n
We start with installing all available OS patches<\/p>\n
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade<\/pre>\nReboot if necessary
\nChange your server’s hostname to something that makes sense<\/p>\necho \"webserver.com\" > \/etc\/hostname\r\nhostname webserver.com<\/pre>\nMake it easy on yourself and add the\u00a0puppet\u00a0server to your \/etc\/hosts files. Modify your puppet.conf via a module if you like<\/p>\n
echo \"x.x.x.x puppet\" >> \/etc\/hosts<\/pre>\nInstall\u00a0Puppet<\/p>\n
apt-get install puppet<\/pre>\nRun\u00a0puppet\u00a0for the 1st time to test it<\/p>\n
puppet agent -t<\/pre>\nYou might still need to sign your newly created certificate on your Puppet Server<\/p>\n
When completed, start the\u00a0puppet\u00a0agent<\/p>\n
service puppet start<\/pre>\nInstalling Puppet agent on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)<\/h2>\n
Ubuntu 10.04 has an old Puppet version in its package repo…. therefor, it’s better to download the latest version from Puppetlabs and install it that way.<\/p>\n
You can use this on Precise too of course!<\/p>\n
Execute the same stuff on your server as above, but don’t apt-get install puppet…<\/p>\n
Instead: (underneath link was the latest stable version available at the time of writing this article<\/p>\n
wget https:\/\/launchpad.net\/puppet\/trunk\/0.24.9\/+download\/puppet-0.24.9.tgz --no-check-certificate<\/pre>\nUnpack and install<\/p>\n
tar -xvf puppet_2.6.1.orig.tar.gz\r\ncd puppet-2.6.1\r\n.\/install.rb<\/pre>\nTest your installation:<\/p>\n
puppet agent -t<\/pre>\nYou might encounter a message stating that you also need facter installed.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have it, you can manually install Facter by: (you need facter v1.5 or above)<\/p>\n
http:\/\/downloads.puppetlabs.com\/facter\/facter-1.6.16.tar.gz\r\ntar -xvf facter-1.6.16.tar.gz\r\ncd facter-1.6.16\r\n.\/install.rb<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
Installing Puppet agent on RHEL 5<\/h2>\n
Install the\u00a0PuppetLabs Repository first:<\/p>\n
rpm -ivh http:\/\/yum.puppetlabs.com\/el\/5\/products\/i386\/puppetlabs-release-5-6.noarch.rpm<\/pre>\nInstall\u00a0puppet<\/p>\n
yum install puppet<\/pre>\nInstalling Puppet agent on RHEL 6<\/h2>\n
