# Puppet Agent Provisioner
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Provisioner name: `puppet_server`**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Puppet agent provisioner allows you to provision the guest using
|
||
|
|
[Puppet](http://www.puppetlabs.com/puppet), specifically by
|
||
|
|
calling `puppet agent`, connecting to a Puppet master, and retrieving
|
||
|
|
the set of modules and manifests from there.

<strong>Warning:</strong> If you're not familiar with Puppet and Vagrant already,
|
||
|
|
I recommend starting with the <a href="/v2/provisioning/shell.html">shell
|
||
|
|
provisioner</a>. However, if you're comfortable with Vagrant already, Vagrant
|
||
|
|
is the best way to learn Puppet.

## Specifying the Puppet Master
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The quickest way to get started with the Puppet agent provisioner is to just
|
||
|
|
specify the location of the Puppet master:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
||
|
|
config.vm.provision "puppet_server" do |puppet|
|
||
|
|
puppet.puppet_server = "puppet.example.com"
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, Vagrant will look for the host named "puppet" on the
|
||
|
|
local domain of the guest machine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuring the Node Name
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The node name that the agent registers as can be customized. Remember
|
||
|
|
this is important because Puppet uses the node name as part of the process
|
||
|
|
to compile the catalog the node will run.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The node name defaults to the hostname of the guest machine, but can
|
||
|
|
be customized using the Vagrantfile:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
||
|
|
config.vm.provision "puppet_server" do |puppet|
|
||
|
|
puppet.puppet_node = "node.example.com"
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Additional Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Puppet supports a lot of command-line flags. Basically any setting can
|
||
|
|
be overriden on the command line. To give you the most power and flexibility
|
||
|
|
possible with Puppet, Vagrant allows you to specify custom command line
|
||
|
|
flags to use:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
||
|
|
config.vm.provision "puppet_server" do |puppet|
|
||
|
|
puppet.options = "--verbose --debug"
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
end
|
||
|
|
```
