vagrant-puppet6-clientserver

Vagrant file and provisioning scripts for a Puppet 6 server and client

Intended purpose

These scripts configure a local Puppet 6 server VM and a VM running the Puppet 6 agent. These VMs can be used for local testing of Puppet modules. PuppetDB and Puppetboard are also installed on the puppet master. The default Puppetboard URL is: http://192.168.2.6:5000

The provisioning script for the puppet master is not suitable for configuring a publically accessible server, because of settings that would be insecure on a nonlocal environment. For example, the puppet master is configured with autosigning enabled, and access to Puppetboard is not secured.

System requirements

This Vagrantfile has been tested with Vagrant 2.0.2. It requires the vagrant-env plugin, which can be installed with: vagrant plugin install vagrant-env

Vagrant requires approximately 4 to 5 GB of memory for the basic configuration. By default, the server VM is assigned up to 4 GB and the client VM is assigned up to 2 GB. If you're testing an application stack on the client VM, you might have to increase the amount of assigned memory in the .env file.

Supported client distributions

• CentOS 6
• CentOS 7
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Usage

• Optionally customize the configuration in the .env file
• vagrant up

Scripts provided

On the host:

• redeploy-client: destroys and re-deploys the client VM. Useful for redeploying the client VM after changes in the .env file.

On the server:

• vldt : validates Puppet DSL, Hiera YAML and ERB files

On the client:

• puprun: performs a puppet agent run (shorthand for: sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet agent -t)
