Installation and configuration notes for Puppet in CentOS 6.3

Recently, I took the time to study puppet, a foreign open-source software that is said to be a powerful tool for O & M in the circle. I originally wanted to compile the latest integrated documentation, and finally reported various errors during the debugging process, according to a google article by a foreigner, there were many incompatibility situations in the latest version. Later, I gave up and found a compatible version. The test was successful and I had to wait for two days, this is really a pitfall. Now I have integrated my experiences into documents for you to share.

System Environment: CentOS6.3

Puppet: puppet-2.7.13.

Facter: facter-1.6.5

Ruby: yum Source

Note:

Facter is used to obtain client system information (such as hostname, ip address, OS-Version, and fqdn)

Ruby is the development environment of puppet.

 

Puppet server: 192.168.7.196

Puppet client: 192.168.7.197
