Vagrant development environment for Puppet master/client on Ubuntu.

The master is on a precise 32 bit and the three agents are hardy, lucid and precise, all on 32 bit architecture for maximum portability. You can add other hosts as clients and mix them with different roles.

1. Install GIT

    sudo aptitude install git
   

2. Install Vagrant

3. Create a vagrant environment

    mkdir ~/vagrant/puppetdev
    git clone https://github.com/lorello/vagrant-puppetdev.git ~/vagrant/puppetdev`
   

4. Create config file to get puppet code from your repository

    cd ~/vagrant/puppetdev
    cp puppetmaster-code-repository.conf.template puppetmaster-code-repository.conf`
   

   Edit accordingly to your environment (you can use SVN or GIT) or leave it with suggested default if you want to start playing with an empty puppet master

5. Create your master instance

    vagrant up puppetmaster
   

   Wait until the boot process finish and the puppetmaster starts. Login to the host and verify that manifests and modules are under /etc/puppet as expected.

6. Create your client instances

    vagrant up puppethardy
    vagrant up puppetlucid
    vagrant up puppetprecise
   

   Each host will boot and then launch a puppet agent for the first time, generating the SSL certificate that the puppetmaster will firm automatically.
