[Puppet Users] Using puppet for openvpn clients

[Derek Cole]

Hello,

I have a question about using puppet to distribute openvpn configs to 
clients that I am creating in cloudstack.

To create my cloudstack VMs, I have something similar to this:

cloudstack_instance { 'myVM:
ensure= 'present',
flavor= 'Small Instance',
zone  = 'myzone',
image = 'myimage',
user_data = 'role=ovpnclient',

}

What is the right pattern to follow to distribute my generated client 
openvpn configs to these instances? It seems like the luxflux openvpn 
module just generates the config. Should I just put them into a modules 
file folder, and then use puppet as a file server to push the file based on 
a role?

Has anyone else use puppet to distribute and start openvpn for client 
connections? I'd be interested in hearing what you did.

Thanks

-Derek

Re: [Puppet Users] Process hang on FreeBSD

[Derek Cole]

Just wanted to throw in that you should update to pkgng. pkg_add isnt even 
going to be an option in FreeBSD10. I have been using 
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/zleslie/pkgng successfully with FreeBSD10 Beta 3 
and puppet.

Re: [Puppet Users] Access class results variables in puppet

[Derek Cole]

I see what you're saying about the design of the code. The suggested 
workaround you proposed doesn't work. It's the same as if I just have the 
literal in there.
 
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Could not find resource 'Openvpn::Server[winterthur]' for relationship on 
'Openvpn::Client[client1]' on node 
28ae5ab6-e8f4-4da1-bae3-4df3ce94a6fe.cs1cloud.internal
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

I think I just realized something about the library after looking at the 
dependencies in the client code. This module actually just generates all of 
the configs but i dont think is meant to actually be used to deploy onto a 
virtual machine. The end result if I run this on a specific node is that I 
end up with an importable openvpn profile. 

I was under the impression that the openvpn::client name actually installed 
the profile on the actual remote node. I guess I am going to need a 
separate process to import that openvpn profile on a specific node that is 
a client node.

The end goal here is to automatically provision a node that is a server, 
and a few nodes that connect to that server with openvpn. This module won't 
actually do all of that like I thought.

 In this case, you’ve got 2 issues. 

 1, most of that data would, ideally, be in Hiera.   But, with a defined 
 type, you can’t use the parameterized classes lookup. 

 2. That case statement means that the catalog for the system with “client 
 doesn’t even know anything about the “access resources. 

 I’d suggest in this case:  (but I’m not loving the code design, to be 
 honest. Look under the example for more. 



 $vpn_server = ‘winterthur' 

 case $::role { 
 'access': { 
 snip 
  openvpn::server {“$vpn_server : 
 country  = 'CH', 
 province = 'ZH', 
 city = 'Winterthur', 
 organization = 'example.org', 
 email= 'ro...@example.org javascript:', 

 server   = '10.200.200.0 255.255.255.0'} 

 } 
 'client': { 
 notify {Applying client config :} 
 openvpn::client { 'client1': 
 server = “$vpn_server 
 } 

 } 
 } 

 This screams for a better separation, to me.   Unless you only have 1 set 
 of servers  clients…   
 — Maybe use a class, with the parameters pulling in the details from 
 hiera, and using the variable parameters in the code. 
 — they would include city,province, server_ip, email, country.

[Puppet Users] Puppet agent not loading module correctly

[Derek Cole]

Hello,

I have a puppetmaster/agent setup. Puppet master is Ubuntu 12.04 and puppet 
agent is ubuntu 12.04

When I do puppet agent --test, I get some error message like below. I have 
checked and fog and ruby are the same versions on both boxes. In fact 
though, I dont have any requirement for cloudstack_resources on the nodes, 
so I am not sure why that is getting pulled in anway. But the real problem 
I have is why does it work on one ubuntu box (on the puppet master if i do 
puppet apply site.pp) but doesnt work on the agent?

I am no ruby expert, so any help debugging is appreciated.

[Puppet Users] cloudstack instance creation hostname

[Derek Cole]

Hello,

I am attempting to use that cloudstack_resources module found here 
https://github.com/bodepd/cloudstack_resources

I have been able to succesfully point it to my cloudstack management server 
and create VMs. The template I am using is a fresh OS install that already 
had puppet agent configure and running on it. 

The problem is, I dont see a way to name my cloudstack instances, so they 
end up with the name being set to the ID, (display name does seem to be 
correct). This means I end up with a bunch of certs that have different 
names in my
puppetmasters cert list that dont mean anything to me. 

Am I doing this right? Should I be using cloudstack_instance to somehow set 
the machines cloudstack name and/or the hostname of the VM instance?

I also notice it seems like there is a puppet_node type in the 
cloudstack_resources project, but I could not find any documentation on how 
to us it. Should I be using this with a plain OS template (no puppet 
pre-installed?)

If so, how does that get used?

Thanks

Hello,

I have cloned the cloudstack_resources git repo into my puppet modules 
directory.

I have a working cloudstack management server up and going.
here is my modules/infra/manifests/init.pp file

class infra {
cloudstack_instance { 'foo':
ensure=present,
flavor = 'Small Instance',
zone   = 'ash-dev-xs-zone',
image  = 'FreeBSD10 Puppet Install',
group  ='role=transit',

}

here is my site.pp

node 'dev.mydomain.local' {include infra }

where dev.mydomain.local is the hostname of my puppetmaster box.


And here is the error I get when I 'puppet apply site.pp' on my 
puppetmaster box

Any help is appreciated. Error trace follows

Thanks!

Well apparently my transport.yaml file was not formatted correcly. I had 
everything starting at column zero, and when I added a tab to make the 
spacing for the lines under cloudstack: be indented, it worked.

[Puppet Users] How to determine puppet environment when using passenger

[Derek Cole]

Hello,
I am trying to figure out what the best way to use puppet when I am using 
passenger. I noticed that if I log in as my normal user on Ubuntu 12.04, 
and run puppet config print it gives me the incorrect configuration than 
what I think I am running when I am using apache/passenger/puppet 

For example, it shows my confdir as being in my users homedir/.puppet 
instead of /etc/puppet

When i log in as root, and run the command, everything looks correct. Am I 
just supposed to work in root all the time when I am running puppet's 
commands? I noticed this is also a problem when I am having a custom 
modulepath..if I run puppet install module as a user, it puts it in my home 
dir, instead of in the configured modulepath i have in my puppet.conf

Please advise -

Thanks!

[Puppet Users] New to Puppet, trying to get it workign with a FreeBSD agent

[Derek Cole]

Hello,

I have been following through some of the documentation trying to make use 
of puppet in a test environment. I went ahead and tried to install 
puppet-passenger and puppet dashboard.

I think i have succesfully done this, because at mymaster.local:3000/ I get 
the dashboard webpage (albeit with no nodes or anything reporting)

and at https://mymaster.local:8140 I get a cert trying to be served to my 
browser. 

Are these good indicators of something at least working?

On my pupper master box, which is Ubuntu, here is what 
/etc/puppet/puppet.conf contains

[main]
logdir=/var/log/puppet
vardir=/var/lib/puppet
ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
rundir=/var/run/puppet
factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
templatedir=$confdir/templates

[master]
# These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger
# and can safely be removed if webrick is used.
reports = store, http
reporturl = http://mymaster.local:3000/reports/upload
ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN 
ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

and in the master's etc/hosts there is a reference to the agent, so it can 
ping it by name. 


and as of right now, i only have one FreeBSD puppet client. In it's 
/usr/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf

[agent]
server = mymaster
report = true
pluginsync = true

and its hosts file has mymaster, so I can ping it by name. 
However, on my agent, if i type

puppet agent -t

I get the following:
Error: Could not request certificate: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 
state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: (null)
Exiting; failed to retrieve certificate and waitforcert is disabled

I tried this with the -w option, and did sudo puppet cert list on the 
master, but i never saw anything show up.

What am I missing here? Can someone point me to some better documentation? 
It seemed like what I read was lacking a bit, especially for the agent 
setup in the FreeBSD box.

Thanks!
