Puppet is a configuration management tool that allows users to automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of different application infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of the Puppet agent on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before starting with the installation process of Puppet, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to add the Puppet repository to your system. You can do that by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S puppet
This will install Puppet and its dependencies on your system.
Once you have installed Puppet on your system, you can verify its installation by running the following command:
puppet --version
This command will display the version of Puppet installed on your system.
Next, you need to configure the Puppet agent on your system before you can start using it. Open the file /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf using your favorite text editor and add the following configuration:
[main]
server = puppet.example.com
[dagent]
certname = agent.example.com
Here, replace puppet.example.com with the hostname of your Puppet master server and agent.example.com with the hostname of the agent server.
After configuring the Puppet agent, you need to start the Puppet service on your system. You can do that by running the following command:
systemctl start puppet
This will start the Puppet service on your system.
If you want to enable the Puppet service to start automatically at system boot, run the following command:
systemctl enable puppet
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured the Puppet agent on your EndeavourOS Latest server. Now you can start using Puppet to automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of different applications and infrastructure.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
