Puppet in Docker How do i launch puppet agents test agents in Docker containers

0 votes

I have set up my puppet in docker infrastructure as shown in this thread using https://www.edureka.co/community/55130/puppet-docker-configuring-puppet-containers-docker-compose.

As a part of my set up I have a Puppet Server, PuppetDB, a PostgresDB container for PuppetDB and the open source dashboards Puppetboard and Puppet Explorer in Docker containers. 

I wanted to know how could I connect a few puppet agent probably ephemeral agents to this just for test purpose. Can somebody help me with this?

You could connect any agents to the Puppet infrastructure launched above however as an illustration in this context, launch a few ephemeral puppet agents in Docker containers.

  • Note that Docker compose automatically creates a default network which we need to connect our containers to in order for them to find the Puppet Server.

  • Let's run up a few alpine agents. Run the following command a few times.

docker run --net compose_default puppet/puppet-agent-alpine
  • And then run some Ubuntu based agents. Again run the command a couple of times to populate the database.

docker run --net compose_default puppet/puppet-agent-ubuntu
  • Now access the dashboard. You will probably have some data to explore and test.
