How to setup puppet server on devel box

cintrix84 · October 5, 2023, 5:38pm

Hey,

Is it possible to install the puppet_plugin and have puppet-server get installed on our devel boxes?

I tried adding it here and it cloned the repo and I see the puppet section in the UI:

theforeman/forklift/blob/master/roles/katello_devel/meta/main.yml#L21


      
          - role: nodejs_scl
            when: ansible_distribution_major_version == "7"
          - role: postgresql_scl
            when: ansible_distribution_major_version == "7"
          - role: foreman_installer_devel_scenario
          - role: foreman_installer
            foreman_installer_scenario: katello-devel
            foreman_installer_additional_packages:
              - foreman-installer-katello
            foreman_installer_disable_system_checks: true
            foreman_installer_options_internal_use_only:
              - "{{ '--katello-devel-scl-ruby=' +  ruby_scl_version if ansible_distribution_major_version == '7' else '' }}"
              - "--katello-devel-admin-password {{ foreman_installer_admin_password }}"
              - "{{ '--katello-devel-github-username=' + katello_devel_github_username if katello_devel_github_username is defined else '' }}"
          - role: customize_home

But I don’t see puppet server running on port 8140 and don’t see in my smart-proxies the certs drop down. When I try the puppet ssl bootstrap on the client it fails not seeing anything on port 8140. I tried on a production install, and it works fine, just not my devel box.

I tried following this but don’t see all the options for the katello-devel scenario to get puppet up and going when doing --full-help

Any pointers?

Thanks!

What I am doing on my running devel box is usually reverting these changes in the /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/katello-devel-answers.yaml file and then running sudo foreman-installer --scenario katello-devel

You can probably also revert the changes directly in the repository

With current nightly it should be sufficient to pass almost the same arguments as production: --enable-puppet --puppet-server true --foreman-proxy-puppet true --foreman-proxy-puppetca true.
