Puppet Agent Provisioner
Provisioner name: puppet_server
The Puppet agent provisioner allows you to provision the guest using
Puppet, specifically by
calling puppet agent, connecting to a Puppet master, and retrieving
the set of modules and manifests from there.
Warning: If you're not familiar with Puppet and Vagrant already, I recommend starting with the shell provisioner. 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:
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:
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:
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.provision "puppet_server" do |puppet|
puppet.options = "--verbose --debug"
end
end
