Vagrantfile Settings

Usage Example
Minimal configuration
This requires that the necessary installers have already been downloaded and
added with vagrant pe-build copy
.
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.pe_build.version = '3.0.0'
config.vm.define 'master' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap do |provisioner|
provisioner.role = :master
end
end
config.vm.define 'agent1' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap
end
end
end
Specifying a download root
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.pe_build.version = '3.0.0'
config.pe_build.download_root = 'http://my.pe.download.mirror/installers'
# Alternately, a local directory can be specified
#config.pe_build.download_root = 'file://Users/luke/Downloads'
config.vm.define 'master' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap do |provisioner|
provisioner.role = :master
end
end
config.vm.define 'agent1' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap
end
end
Using a manual answers file
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.pe_build.version = '3.0.0'
config.pe_build.download_root = 'http://my.pe.download.mirror/installers'
# Alternately, a local directory can be specified
#config.pe_build.download_root = 'file://Users/luke/Downloads'
config.vm.define 'master' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap do |provisioner|
provisioner.role = :master
provisioner.answer_file = 'answers/vagrant_master.answers.txt'
end
end
config.vm.define 'agent1' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap
end
end
Manually setting a filename
Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
config.pe_build.version = '3.0.0'
config.pe_build.filename = 'puppet-enterprise-3.0.0-all.tar.gz'
# Alternately, a local directory can be specified
#config.pe_build.download_root = 'file://Users/luke/Downloads'
config.vm.define 'master' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap do |provisioner|
provisioner.role = :master
provisioner.answer_file = 'answers/vagrant_master.answers.txt'
end
end
config.vm.define 'agent1' do |node|
node.vm.box = 'centos-6-i386'
node.vm.provision :pe_bootstrap
end
end
Requirements
Ensure VMs have a FQDN set before installing PE. The easiest way to do this is by setting the hostname
attribute of the VM configuration.
Puppet Enterprise relies on SSL for security so you'll need to ensure that your SSL configuration isn't borked. vagrant-hosts is recommended to configure VMs with semi-sane DNS.
Guest VMs need to be able to directly communicate. You'll need to ensure that they have private network interfaces prepared.
