The configuration for running Open Source puppetserver with an external CA changed in v2.4 -> v2.5, explained in more detail here: https://docs.puppet.com/puppetserver/latest/bootstrap_upgrade_notes.html#cacfg If you happen to run yum upgrade (presumably similar results with apt-get update), the

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 4.5 and git & R10K

At least to answer the question of installing r10k tool for use with open source Puppetserver (or just puppet agent), I do this in a bootstrap script for my Puppetserver to install r10k from gem, and do the initial deployment of the control repo. This for directory-based environments. # Instal

[Puppet Users] Packaging scripts for Puppetlabs Vagrant images?

I was hoping to test out CentOS v6.8, but the Puppetlabs Vagrant images published only go up to v6.6: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/puppetlabs Is there a repo, or other such info somewhere, providing details about how these images are rolled? I.e. so I could create my own CentOS v6.8 image to te

[Puppet Users] Re: PE console missing the PE_REPO class for agent packages

Hey Mike! I suspect that what you see is the result of modifying your basemodulepath or overriding your modulepath in an environment.conf file. They should be set something like the following: root@master:~ # puppet master --configprint basemodulepath /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules:/opt/puppetlabs

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet newbie, Apache vHosts, and trying to do it the right way

My rationale for it is exactly that. Focus on learning how Puppet itself works, and then learn the add-ons after the fact. On top of that, Hiera isn't a requirement for use - you can just as easily use something like Foreman (which, from what I've seen of it so far looks really good.) But even in m

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet newbie, Apache vHosts, and trying to do it the right way

Well, so I didn't know if it was "good form" to modify modules to hold site-specific configuration items. I think part of my frustration is that I haven't been able to find a doc, or maybe one doesn't exist, that shows what a decent "production" Puppet environment might look like. I think it'd be

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet newbie, Apache vHosts, and trying to do it the right way

Ah, okay this makes more sense for me. So I know that I can stick this in the same file with the node definitions, but there's got to be a better place for it to go. Where would the "proper" place be for it to go? Many thanks for your responses. They've been very helpful. On Sun, Jun 22, 2014 at

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet newbie, Apache vHosts, and trying to do it the right way

Thanks for the answer. I grasp the fundamentals of what you're saying, but right now I'm a little leery of delving into Hiera when I don't really know the fundamentals of Puppet itself yet. My reading through those docs would only confuse me more. (Not that those docs are probably not good - it'

[Puppet Users] Puppet newbie, Apache vHosts, and trying to do it the right way

Alright, this is definitely a Puppet 101 question, and I am sure that the Puppet docs have an answer for this and I am just dense and can't find it. I'm trying to teach myself Puppet, with the goal of managing the VPS I run with it. Additionally, when I get a better grasp on things, I want to
