To manage firewalld on a desktop, I use the module created by Craig Dunn available at https://github.com/crayfishx/puppet-firewalld. Recently, I came across this issue for the second time after restarting puppetserver: # puppet agent -vt Info: Using configured environment 'production' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Loading facts Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Could not autoload puppet/type/firewalld_rich_rule: /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/firewalld/lib/puppet_x/firewalld/property/rich_rule_action....

I upraded puppetserver from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0 on a server running Centos 6.8. Then, puppetserver no longer starts. The log (I think it was puppetsrver-daemon.log) said: As the error reported, /etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/bootstrap.cfg was not there. The disappearance must have happened during the puppetserver upgrade. I can confirm this by looking at my backup directory and finding the boostrap.cfg file there: /srv/backup/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/bootstrap.cfg. According to this issue #1247, the boostrap.cfg file is broken into 2 files and relocated to a different directories....

Well, first of all I think the title of this post won’t entirely reflect its content. However, I need to go ahead and post this now. At work, We’ve been having issues with cups service not running on some Kubuntu 14.04 desktops. This should not happen since even if cups service is dead, we have Puppet agent running on each machine to check and make sure that ‘cups’ is running else will be automatically restarted....

I normally use Vim to edit Puppet modules and manifests codes. However, recently I just found out about Atom editor, and quite like it. Out of the box, Atom supports many programming languages by providing syntax highlight. There are hundreds of Packages available which provide more functionalities such as make Atom to behave like a Vi editor, support Puppet codes, etc. As mentioned earlier, Atom provides syntax highlighting for various programming languages; well except Puppet....

At my current work place, we use Puppet to manage desktop machines. Recently, I need to prepare an new image based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. To prepare an image, in brief, first thing is to install a fresh Ubuntu on a machine, compile and package lots of applications, and make change to configuration such as look and feels, etc. As mentioned earlier, I use Puppet to manage machine, so I store all customed configuration on the Puppet server....

If you don’t know what PuppetDB is, this post probably will not be any useful to you. But if you wanna find out or learn about it, here is the link: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppetdb/latest/index.html. For PuppetDB to work, we need to generate SSL certificates from a Puppet master’s SSL certificate. In my case, I need to re-configure this PuppetDB to a new Puppet mater which sits on the same server. Here’s how it was done:...
