====== How To Install Puppet Server ======

This guide will teach you how to install the Puppetlabs Puppet Server service with r10k for code management, and demo some example Puppet manifests.

===== Install Puppet Server =====

Grab the Puppetlabs release package (this will set up the Puppetlabs repository):

Debian/Ubuntu: ''%%wget "https://apt.puppet.com/puppet-release-$(lsb_release -cs).deb"%%''

RHEL and clones: ''%%. /etc/os-release; wget https://yum.puppet.com/puppet-release-el-${VERSION_ID%.*}.noarch.rpm"%%''

Install the package:

Debian/Ubuntu: ''%%dpkg -i puppet-release-$(lsb_release -cs).deb"%%''

RHEL and clones: ''%%rpm -i puppet-release-el-${VERSION_ID%.*}.noarch.rpm"%%''

Install the Puppet Server package:

Debian/Ubuntu: ''%%apt update && apt install -y puppetserver%%''

RHEL and clones: ''%%dnf updateinfo && dnf install -y puppetserver%%''

===== Install r10k =====

R10k is a beautiful tool that makes it really easy to manage a Puppet code repository with multiple environments. To get started, install the gem:

<code>/opt/puppetlabs/bin/gem install r10k</code>

Now we need to configure r10k so it knows what repository to pull your code from and where to put it. Create a directory under your puppetlabs config:

<code>mkdir /etc/puppetlabs/r10k</code>

Then open up/create the r10k config file in your favorite editor (e.g. vim):

<code>vim /etc/puppetlabs/r10k/r10k.yaml</code>
