Installation

Note

If you followed the Pulp installation instructions you already have Puppet features installed. If not, this document will walk you through the installation.

Prerequisites

Puppet support requires the namespace /api/v1/ at the root of your web server in order to implement an API compatible with Puppet Forge. We don’t like taking that namespace, but it was the only way to support the use of Puppet Labs’ command line tool against a Pulp server.

Consumers must have Puppet 2.7.14 to 3.4.3 installed, and we recommend getting packages directly from Puppet Labs.

Please see the Pulp User Guide for other prerequisites including repository setup.

Note

Consumer install and update operations against a repository published over HTTPS will do SSL certificate verification. Thus, you must ensure that the puppet module tool is able to verify the server’s certificate against a trusted CA in order to publish puppet repositories over HTTPS.

Server

If you followed the Pulp User Guide install instructions, you already have Puppet support installed. If not, just install the following package.

$ sudo yum install pulp-puppet-plugins

Then run pulp-manage-db to initialize the new types in Pulp’s database.

$ sudo -u apache pulp-manage-db

Then restart each pulp component, as documented in the Pulp User Guide.

Admin Client

If you followed the Pulp User Guide install instructions, you already have Puppet support installed. If not, just install the following package.

$ sudo yum install pulp-puppet-admin-extensions
