How to start puppet master for v6.0.0 or late

[samding dd]

Hi there,

I am new to puppet.

I want to know how to start puppet master for v6.0.0 or late versions.
For version below v6.0.0, I can install puppet by:

  

   gem install puppet -v 5.5.14

Then start by :
      
   puppet master --verbose --no-daemonizepuppet

However, after v6.0.0, there is no subcommand "master" option.

If installing v6.4.2, the "puppet help" shows below:

"puppet]# puppet help

Usage: puppet <subcommand> [options] <action> [options]

Available subcommands:

  Common:
    agent             The puppet agent daemon
    apply             Apply Puppet manifests locally
    config            Interact with Puppet's settings.
    help              Display Puppet help.
    lookup            Interactive Hiera lookup
    module            Creates, installs and searches for modules on the Puppet Forge.
    resource          The resource abstraction layer shell


  Specialized:
    catalog           Compile, save, view, and convert catalogs.
    describe          Display help about resource types
    device            Manage remote network devices
    doc               Generate Puppet references
    epp               Interact directly with the EPP template parser/renderer.
    facts             Retrieve and store facts.
    filebucket        Store and retrieve files in a filebucket
    generate          Generates Puppet code from Ruby definitions.
    node              View and manage node definitions.
    parser            Interact directly with the parser.
    script            Run a puppet manifests as a script without compiling a catalog
    ssl               Manage SSL keys and certificates for puppet SSL clients 

Thanks,

Hello,

Puppet master has been deprecated for a while and is removed from Puppet 6. Instead of a puppet master, you should switch to using a puppetserver instead.

See https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/6.0/release_notes_puppet.html#webrick

Thank you for you reply.

But how to get/build puppetserver on other platform than x86_64?

The document of v6.4 says  to get puppetserver by first adding a repository and then install it as a normal  package.

But I cannot get it for s390x in the same way, probably the repository does not support it.

Is there any way to build to build puppetserver from the Github directly?

Thanks,

Hei,

jeg driver og roter i jailet nå - gi meg noen minutter!
Er du på noen fornuftig IM-kanal som jeg kan bruke fra laptoppen min?

Ok I have _no_ idea how that happened. Sorry about the noise, folks!

Hi,

puppetserver is a Java process, so getting it to run on S390 is not entirely impossible. The package (either RPM or DEB) for puppetserver is listed as platform agnostic (architecture: all, or noarch), so the package itself should install. You may encounter dependencies that are not (easily) available on your platform.

Please note the difference between "it may work" and "this is a recommended way to run a Puppet server" :)

HI Bart-Jan,

Following the way of installation puppetserver on x86_64 https://puppet.com/docs/puppetserver/6.3/install_from_packages.html,

I installed the puppetserver on s390x after setting up  puppet repository (puppet6-release-xenial.deb)

and got errors below:

         The following packages have unmet dependencies:
         puppetserver : Depends: puppet-agent (>= 5.5.0) but it is not installable
         E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The repository seems no dependent puppet-agent  package for s390x. The same repository is good for x86_64 to install puppetserver.

Can you let me know how to solve this installation error?

Thanks,
