• BootstrappingWithPuppet A functional example based around partial automatic installation and upgrading puppet to a functional version, primarily for Ubuntu but possibly adaptable to other Debian-based distributions. Requirements ------------ * A local apt repository * I use the reprepro package to manage my repository * A quick google found this tutorial http://ianlawrence.info/random-stuff/setting-up-a-personal-debian-repository * Backported packages for $lsbdistrelease, available in said repository. * Ubuntu has a package called prevu for automating the backporting process, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu * A trusted.gpg file containing the necessary GPG public keys for said repository, so that apt doesn't complain * A sources.list file containing said repository * The upgradepuppet class below (or similar, adapt as necessary) Usage ----- * Define a node in Puppet for your to-be-bootstrapped machine * Install your Ubuntu machine as per usual, with a preseed or without * Install Puppet from the official repositories (it'll be old, 0.22.something) * Note: These last two steps can be replaced if you can work out how to make a preseed disk with 0.22 installed already, although, why you'd put 0.22 on your disk instead of 0.24.1 beats me..) * Personally here I stop the puppetd daemon (apt-get install puppet && /etc/init.d/puppet stop) and run puppetd --test * Magical things will happen! Packages will be upgraded, Puppet will be started, then stopped and disabled. * Using a case statement in your node (see below) normal operations will continue. upgradepuppet class +++++++++++++++++++ This is the upgradepuppet class:: class upgradepuppet { file { "/etc/apt/sources.list": source (automatic, bootstrap, centos, cobbler, debian, epel, kickstart, recipe, repository, rhel, ubuntu)
