Puppet Bootstrap

puppet-bootstrap is a portable push-button bash script that installs puppet and connects to a puppet master server . It currently supports both i386 and x86_64 architectures as well as the following Operating systems:

  • RHEL/CentOS 5.8-6.x
  • Fedora 18,19,20
  • Debian 6,7
  • Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), 12.04 (Precise), 12.10 (Quantal), 13.04 (Raring), 13.10 (Saucy)

Quick Start

On a new system, login as root and run the following replacing PUPPET_MASTER_IP with the IP address of your puppet master:

[root@puppetclient ~]# wget https://raw.github.com/avatarnewyork/puppet-bootstrap/master/puppet-bootstrap.sh
[root@puppetclient ~]# ./puppet-bootstrap.sh PUPPET_MASTER_IP

On the puppet master, sign the cert request and puppet will finish running on the new client (see: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/3.3.1/man/cert.html)

Usage

puppet-bootstrap.sh takes the following parameters in order:

  • PUPPET_MASTER_IP (required) - the IP address of your puppet master
  • PUPPET_ENVIRONMENT (optional) - the environment to use (defaults to production which is puppet's default)
  • CUSTOM_SCRIPT (optional) - a custom script to execute imediately before starting puppet agent

Example Usage

[root@puppetclient ~]# ./puppet-bootstrap.sh 10.2.0.1 production createswap.sh
