This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Puppet on NixOS latest. Puppet is a configuration management tool that allows you to automate the deployment and management of software and systems.
Before installing Puppet, ensure that you have the following:
sudo nix-channel --update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch
sudo nix-env -iA nixos.puppet
sudo puppet --version
The output should show the version number of the installed Puppet package.
By default, Puppet stores its configuration files in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/
. You can modify the configuration files to meet your requirements.
For example, to set the agent's run interval, edit the /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf
file and add the following line:
runinterval = 1800
This sets the agent's run interval to 30 minutes. You can modify this value to suit your requirements.
sudo systemctl start puppet
sudo systemctl enable puppet
You have successfully installed Puppet on NixOS latest and configured the agent to run automatically. You can now use Puppet to automate the configuration and management of your systems.
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!
