Hello, new user here. I'm trying to bootstrap an aws instance and need to change the server setting in puppet.conf on the client/instance that is created. Is there anyway to do this beyond modifying hosts post-hoc?
puppet node_aws bootstrap --image ami-e1e8d395 --keyname mykey --login ubuntu --keyfile ~mykeyfile.pem --puppetagent-certname aws_server_test --region=eu-west-1 --type t1.micro -g webserver This provisions an instance but fails to register a cert request on the puppetmaster with : notice: Puppet is now installed on: blahblah.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com notice: No classification method selected notice: Signing certificate ... err: Signing certificate ... Failed err: Signing certificate error: Could not render to pson: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known Checking the instances puppet.conf shows that the server config variable is set to "puppet" which I want to change to "myserver.somewhere.com". Now I dont know if this behaviour is a bug, I would have thought that since I'm running puppet from the master server, bootstrapping should be able to update the server variable correctly or there should at least be a command line option. I know I can run a script at somepoint and modify my hosts files but I'm trying to keep things automated and simple. What am I missing? I should also note, if I ssh into the created instance I can modify the puppet.conf file with the correct server name and a certificate request is issued which I can then sign. Any help.best practices greatly appreciated - lj. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
