Kitchen Puppet

kitchen-puppet

A Test Kitchen Provisioner for Puppet

The providers supports both puppet apply and puppet agent clients

The PuppetApply provider works by passing the puppet repository based on attributes in .kitchen.yml & calling puppet apply.

The PuppetAgent provider works by passing the puppetmaster and other attributes in .kitchen.yml & calling puppet agent.

This provider has been tested against the Ubuntu 1204 and Centos 6.5 boxes running in vagrant/virtualbox as well as various docker .

Windows Workstation Install

You need to download the puppet msi and install it and run everything inside the puppet window.

1. Download and install puppet from the windows msi file from https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/windows

   • I recommend the using the 32 bit version as not all ruby gems works with the 64 bit version.
   • Don't do a 'gem install puppet' !!!.

2. Select "Start Command Prompt with Puppet" to go to a Command Window.

3. Install the Ruby DevKit:

   • Download and install devkit from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads
     • (Use a 32 or 64 bit version that matches version of the ruby install)
   • In the devkit directory run “ruby dk.rb init”.
   • Edit the config.yml generated and add the the path of the ruby install for puppet
     • (it will be /sys/ruby).
   • Run “ruby dk.rb install” to bind it to the puppet ruby installation.

4. From a Command prompt:

   • gem install librarian-puppet
   • gem install test-kitchen
   • gem install kitchen-puppet

Mac-OSX Workstation Install

1. Download and install the mac packages from https://downloads.puppetlabs.com/mac/

   • The most recent Facter package (facter-.dmg)
   • The most recent Hiera package (hiera-.dmg)
   • The most recent Puppet package (puppet-.dmg)
   • See How to Install Software from DMG Files on a Mac for details.

2. From a Command prompt:

   • gem install librarian-puppet
   • gem install test-kitchen
   • gem install kitchen-puppet

Requirements

You'll need a driver box without a chef installation so puppet can be installed. Puppet have one at http://puppet-vagrant-boxes.puppetlabs.com/ubuntu-server-12042-x64-vbox4210-nocm.box or http://puppet-vagrant-boxes.puppetlabs.com/centos-65-x64-virtualbox-nocm.box.

For PuppetAgent a server with a puppet master is required that can resolve the hostname ip address of the server. The server must also be able to resolve the hostname ip address of the puppet master.

You can also use the PuppetApply driver with a docker container, provided the necessary box requirements to install puppet are included inside the container. The easiest way to do this is to supply Kitchen-Docker with a custom dockerfile to install the needed dependencies for puppet installation.
