How to install Puppet master and client in Ubuntu 14.04 This document describes how to install and configure Puppet on Ubuntu 14.04 server, I will also connect a puppet client with Ubuntu 14.04 desktop. Puppet is a configuration management system that allows you to define the state of your IT infrastructure, then automatically enforces the correct state. Whether you're managing just a few servers or thousands of physical and virtual machines, Puppet automates tasks that sysadmins often do manually, freeing up time and mental space so sysadmins can work on the projects that deliver greater business value.

Pour les neophyte (comme moi :D ) qui viennes ici apres avoir foirée une install.

Si vous voulez repartir sur ce tuto avec des bases saines :

Hi,

Thank you for writing this.. it worked like charm !!!!@Sean,I think the agent is not able to communicate with master that can be the reason you are not able to see any agent on master list. Even I had such problem, after some troubleshooting found out that it was my DNS server.

 

Thank you once again.

However, I am not able to apply/push from Puppet Master .

it works from client , it picks up the config.

Good write up, however you should add a couple vital things regarding pre-setup which is allowing ports 443 and 8140 which is required if you expect the agents to be able to communicate with the puppetmaster and sign certs.
