Rhizomatica Puppet repository

Here you will find all the modules which we are currently using in the Rhizomatica infrastructure. Some of them are directly pulled from PuppetForge or github. A bunch are included as submodules, others are directly imported in the repository. To have a working repo, you should also include all the submodules:

git submodule init
git submodule update

To have a fully configured system from scratch, these are the steps:

1 - Install Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit version. There is a preseed file included in this git repo which can make it easier and faster :)

2 - Create a new user, called rhizomatica. This is not needed if you have used the preseed file to do the install.

3 - Install openvpn and openssh:

sudo apt-get install openvpn openssh

4 - Configure the VPN - normally just a matter of unpacking the config and keys in /etc/openvpn and restarting openvpn

5 - Install puppet:

sudo apt-get install puppet

6 - Edit /etc/puppet/puppet.conf and add the proper puppet server

7 - Run puppet for the first time:

puppet agent --test

This will generate the key and certificate

8 - Connect to the VPN/Puppet server, check the certificates:

puppet ca list

And sign the one you just generated in the step above:

puppet ca sign <hostname>

9 - on the VPN/Puppet server Personalize the hiera file which is going to describe your installation by copying over the template file to something like <hostname>.yaml in /etc/puppet/hieradata.

10 - Run puppet again:

puppet agent --test

11 - Profit! :D
