title: Bootstrapping a Puppet master
|
||
|

category: devops

|
Installing a Puppetmaster is a bit of a chicken-egg problem. We want to
|
||
|
|
have our environment as automated and slick as possible, but we
|
||
|
|
currently have no tools installed to to so.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So what do we actually need to install and configure for our Puppet
|
||
|
|
master:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Puppet
|
||
|
|
- Hiera
|
||
|
|
- R10k
|
||
|
|
- Git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the minimum, from this it can go ahead and dogfood itself in my
|
||
|
|
prefered fashion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I do this with a bit of bash that I threw together during a meeting. I
|
||
|
|
use only bash as that is the only thing I can be guaranteed to have on a
|
||
|
|
clean install.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you trust me then simply run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chriscowley/puppetmaster-bootstrap/master/bootstrap.sh | sudo -E sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If not, or of you want to control it a bit more, then clone it. If you
|
||
|
|
modify it I\'ll happily accept pull requests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/chriscowley/puppetmaster-bootstrap.git
|
||
|
|
cd puppetmaster-bootstrap
|
||
|
|
./bootstrap.sh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are a few environment variables you can use to control it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- PMB\_CONFIGURE\_GIT : Whether to install/configure Git (defaults=1)
|
||
|
|
- PMB\_CONFIGURE\_R10k : Whether to install/configure R10k
|
||
|
|
(defaults=1)
|
||
|
|
- PMB\_TEST : Only tell you what it would do, but nothing actually
|
||
|
|
happens
|
||
|
|
- PMB\_INSTALL\_POSTRECEIVE : Install the post-receive git hook
|
||
|
|
(default=1)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have tried to use sensible defaults, at least for my purposes.
