Puppet is a configuration management tool that helps automating the deployment, management, and provisioning of software applications. This tutorial shows how to install Puppet on MXLinux Latest using the Puppetlabs repository.
Before starting with the Puppet installation, you must ensure that your MXLinux Latest is updated to the latest version using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
First, you need to install some required packages before installing Puppet. Use the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates apt-transport-https
To add the Puppet repository to your system, follow these steps:
sudo wget https://apt.puppet.com/DEB-GPG-KEY-puppet
sudo apt-key add DEB-GPG-KEY-puppet
echo "deb https://apt.puppet.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) puppet6" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/puppet6.list
sudo apt-get update
Now that the Puppet repository is added, you can proceed with the installation:
sudo apt-get install puppet-agent -y
sudo /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet --version
If you see a version number, then Puppet is installed on your system.
Once Puppet is installed, you need to configure it to manage your systems. The main configuration file for Puppet is located under /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf.
You can use your favorite text editor to update this file and add your Puppet master or Puppet agent configurations.
This concludes the tutorial on how to install Puppet on MXLinux Latest. With Puppet, you can easily automate the deployment, management and provisioning of software applications, making your life as a sysadmin easier.
