Hi - I run puppet 3.3.2 currently of Open Source Puppet.

I am looking for anyone who has run Puppet Dashboard.

How do I connect to the dashboard?

yum install puppet-dashboard gives a requirement for dependency resolution:

  Error: Package: puppet-dashboard-1.2.23-1.el6.noarch (puppetlabs)
     Requires: rubygem(rake)

My question is, how to install rubygem so that puppet-dashboard installs?

Stuart,
rubygem(rake) is provided by the rubygem-rake package, available in
centos 6 or in the optional channel for rhel 6.

Great!

What is the .repo file format for the optional channel for rhel 6.

I would like to install puppet-dashboard using the above as soon as possible.

Check with your local admin with access to Red Hat Network. That is their job.

yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms

Has worked on some RHEL machines, for me. It depends on how your system is subscribed whether that will work or whether you'll need to use another command.

Hey Ygor and Jeff.

I went to www.redhat.com, logged in, accessed the customer portal, went into the packages
and then searched for and found my rubygem-rake-0.8.7-2.1.el6.noarch.rpm, then rpm -i'd
then did a yum install puppet-dashboard and voila!!!

YEAH!!!!

Okay, now puppet-dashboard is installed on my Puppet Master and I am ready and ripe.

How do I access the dashboard?
