Documentation of setting up the database server as a puppet agent

We created a Puppetmaster server to configure the other servers with the same configurations across the board. I created two Puppetagents (DB-a and the Backup Server which means they receive their configurations from the Puppetmaster Using Lab 2.2 Lab2.2_Puppet_Initial_Setup.docx
Here is a link to a word doc of this documentation (Basically what is in this wiki page, in a word doc)

Updated the servers using this command
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Put this command in the terminal sudo nano /etc/hosts

Copy this information under localhost line

10.2.0.5 mgmt-a
10.2.0.4 db-a
10.2.0.7 apps-a
10.2.0.6 backup-a

Test if working using this command
Ping mgmt-a

Installing and connecting an agent

Add the Puppet repository (do for only db server for now, we can do for others after getting this right): On your db server, use apt to install the puppet package and its dependencies.

wget https://apt.puppet.com/puppet7-release-jammy.deb
sudo dpkg -i puppet7-release-jammy.deb
sudo apt update

Install the Puppet agent package:
sudo apt install puppet-agent -y

• Configure the Puppet agent: – Edit the Puppet agent configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf

Add the following lines under the [main] section:

server = mgmt-x
certname =

[main]
certname = db-a.oe2.org.nz
server = mgmt-a
runinterval = 1h

Start and enable the Puppet agent:

sudo systemctl start puppet
sudo systemctl enable puppet

Verify the Puppet agent is running:

sudo systemctl status puppet

Verify a connection with the Puppetmaster

sudo puppet agent --server=mgmt-a --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime
