Puppet is a configuration management tool that allows administrators to manage infrastructure as code. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install Puppet on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start installing Puppet, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Puppet is not available as a package in the Kali Linux repository. We need to add the Puppet repository to the package manager to access the Puppet packages.
Open the terminal on your Kali Linux system.
Run the following command to add the Puppet repository to the package manager:
wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet6-release-buster.deb
sudo dpkg -i puppet6-release-buster.deb
sudo apt-get update
Now that we have added the Puppet repository, we can install the Puppet agent on our Kali Linux system.
Run the following command to install the Puppet agent:
sudo apt-get install puppet-agent
The installation process will prompt you to set up a Puppet master hostname. If you don't have a Puppet master, you can leave this field blank and press Enter.
Once the installation is complete, you can start the Puppet service by running the following command:
sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet resource service puppet ensure=running enable=true
To verify that the Puppet agent is properly installed and running, we can use the following command:
sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet --version
This should display the current version of the Puppet agent on Kali Linux.
In this tutorial, we have gone through the steps to install Puppet on Kali Linux Latest. By adding the Puppet repository and installing the Puppet agent, we can now use Puppet to manage infrastructure as code.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
