Installing puppet with bundler

You might want to install puppet using bundler in order to have the correct version (especially if your distribution does not ship the correct version):

apt install bundler
bundle install

The local ruby/puppet commands must be executed with bundle exec:

bundle exec r10k puppetfile install Puppetfile

SSH

This documentation assumes that your ~/.ssh/config is configured in order to access to the servers with ssh $home.newldn and the GIT repositories with ssh gitldn.

Basic usage

Clone the repository:

git clone gitldn:puppet/puppet

Install the modules:

r10k puppetfile install Puppetfile

Update the puppet from the repository and apply:

# Update the puppet master from the git repo:
ssh zoidberg.newldn sudo /root/update.sh

# Apply the rules from the puppet master on some server:
ssh foo.newldn sudo puppet agent -t

Development

Don't forget to install the modules:

r10k puppetfile install Puppetfile

Upload the current directory as as test environment on the Puppet master:

./scripts/upload-env test

Apply the test environment on some server:

ssh foo.newldn sudo puppet agent -t --environment=test
