New User / New setup

Hi

Having another go at puppet :)

Bulidng a Centos 8 with puppet install

I have built the VM

and I have added int he puppet repo 

yum install https://yum.puppet.com/puppet-release-el-8.noarch.rpm

[puppet]

name=Puppet Repository el 8 - $basearch

baseurl=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet/el/8/$basearch

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppet-release

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

I am using https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/install_puppet.html for guide

So I have installed puppet 

yum install puppetserver

setup the CA

I can 

puppet agent --test

Info: Using configured environment 'production'

Info: Retrieving pluginfacts

Info: Retrieving plugin

Info: Retrieving locales

Info: Caching catalog for puppet.yieldbroker.com

Info: Applying configuration version '1573187965'

Notice: Applied catalog in 0.01 seconds

I have plans of moving to R10K, I had used this before - but stopping using puppet for quite a while.

Now I want to install puppetdb, and I would like to make puppet do it. I am having some difficulty in setting that up.

I don't want to setup puppet master as I believe /etc/puppet will be reconfigure when I install R10K. so I want o use a manual manifest and apply with puppet agent or puppet apply.

So I have this

cat manifest.pp

node 'puppet' {

  # Configure puppetdb and its underlying database

  class { 'puppetdb':

  }

  # Configure the Puppet master to use puppetdb

  class { 'puppetdb::master::config':

  }

}

when when i run 

puppet apply -v  --noop manifest.pp

Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Could not find declared class puppetdb (file: /root/puppet/puppetdb/manifest.pp, line: 3, column: 3) on node puppet.yieldbroker.com

so whats next, I presume this is because the puppetDB rpm is not install, but chicken egg

So how do I do this ?

It looks like you're attempting to apply manifest.pp not using the agent.  

The apply is looking for the class/type definitions locally, which don't exist.

Why not update manifest/site.pp on the puppet master for the applicable environment, then use puppet agent -t?

On my PM, I use Hiera to manage the classes and configuration keys:

agrams@puppet:~/puppet/control-repo$ cat manifests/site.pp
hiera_include('classes')

agrams@puppet:~/puppet/control-repo$ cat data/app/puppetmaster.yaml
---
# Include the following classes

  - puppetdb

Hi

Yes thanks for that - sort of where i got to I ended up using this 

# /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/manifests/site.pp
lookup('classes', {merge => deep}).include

in my site.pp

and I created a role called puppet-server which I applied via yaml

cat data/nodes/puppet.xxx.com.yaml

---
# for node puppet.yieldbroker.com


message: "This node is using puppet.xxx.com data"

# setup the role
classes:
 - role::puppet_server

thanks
