Puppet module for installing Puppet agent, and Puppet server

Installs Puppet agent:

Optional support for installation of a Puppetmaster (using server => true)

• Configurable support for static or git-backed dynamic environments (requires puppet-git module)
• Storeconfig options (off, ActiveRecord or PuppetDB)
• Passenger support (requires puppet-apache and puppet-passenger modules)
• PuppetDB integration (requires puppetlabs-puppetdb module)

Installation

Using GIT

git clone git://github.com/theforeman/puppet-puppet.git

Downloadable Tarball

• http://github.com/theforeman/puppet-puppet/tarball/master

Requirements

Only really tested on RedHat and Debian. Patches welcome for other OSes :)

Setup

This is a parameterized class, but the defaults should get you going:

Standalone agent with defaults:

echo include puppet | puppet --modulepath /path_to/extracted_tarball

Integration with Foreman

With the 3.0.0 release the Foreman integration became optional. Note that you
need the puppet-foreman module
installed.

It will still by default install the Foreman integration when server is true,
so if you wish to run a puppet server without Foreman, it can be disabled by
setting server_foreman to false:

class { '::puppet':
  server                => true,
  server_foreman        => false,
  server_reports        => 'store',
  server_external_nodes => '',
}

Customization

As a parameterized class, all the configurable options can be overridden from your
wrapper classes or even your ENC (if it supports param classes). For example:

# Agent and cron (or daemon):
class { '::puppet': runmode => 'cron' }

# Agent and puppetmaster:
class { '::puppet': server => true }

# You want to use git?
class { '::puppet':
  server          => true
  server_git_repo => true
}

# You need need your own template for puppet.conf?
class { '::puppet':
  agent_template  => 'puppetagent/puppet.conf.core.erb',
  server          => true,
  server_template => 'puppetserver/puppet.conf.master.erb',
}

# Maybe you're using gitolite, new hooks, and a different port?
class { '::puppet':
  server                   => true
  server_port              => 8141,
  server_git_repo          => true,
  server_git_repo_path     => '/var/lib/gitolite/repositories/puppet.git',
  server_post_hook_name    => 'post-receive.puppet',
  server_post_hook_content => 'puppetserver/post-hook.puppet',
}

# Want to integrate with an existing PuppetDB?
class { '::puppet':
  server               => true,
  server_puppetdb_host => 'mypuppetdb.example.com',
  server_reports       => 'puppetdb,foreman',
  storeconfigs         => true,
  storeconfigs_backend => 'puppetdb',
}

Look in init.pp for what can be configured this way, see Contributing if anything
doesn't work.

To use this in standalone mode, edit a file (e.g. install.pp), put in a class resource,
as per the examples above, and the execute puppet apply e.g:

cat > install.pp <<EOF
class { '::puppet': server => true }
EOF
puppet apply install.pp --modulepath /path_to/extracted_tarball
