Puppet users - Jul 2010 - Puppet Dashboard packages updated for V1.0.1 release

Hi all

I''ve updated the RPM and DEB packages for the Puppet Dashboard 1.0.1
release.  These packages are now signed with our new Puppet Labs GPG key
- this means you will need to update the keys you have added previously.

The new packages are available via APT and Yum repositories hosted by Puppet
Labs.

Overall instructions for installing and running the Dashboard can be
found at:

http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet-dashboard

1.  Get DEB Packages via APT

a. Add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://apt.puppetlabs.com/ubuntu lucid main

b. Add the new Puppet Labs repository release key to APT (the package is
signed
with this key also).

$ gpg --recv-key 4BD6EC30
$ gpg -a --export 4BD6EC30 | sudo apt-key add -

c. Run apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get update

d. Install Puppet Dashboard

$ sudo apt-get install puppet-dashboard

The Dashboard will be installed in /usr/share/puppet-dashboard and
you can run the server from here or create a Passenger
configuration.  The updated package contains a simple init and
sysconfig set-up.

2.  Get RPM packages via Yum

a.  Create a Yum repo entry for Puppet Labs

$ vi /etc/yum.repos.d/puppetlabs.repo
[puppetlabs]
name=Puppet Labs Packages
baseurl=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/base/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://yum.puppetlabs.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppetlabs

b.  Install via yum

$ sudo yum install puppet-dashboard

You will be prompted to install the Puppet Labs release key as part
of the installation process and the RPM packages are signed with
that key.

The Dashboard will be installed in /usr/share/puppet-dashboard and
you run the server from here or create a Passenger configuration.

You can also find the RPM spec file at:

http://yum.puppetlabs.com/sources/puppet-dashboard.spec

Hello,

The documentation for "Puppet 0.25.x and earlier" suggests the
following course of action :
you would add a line to your puppet.conf like:
libdir = /opt/puppet-dashboard/lib/puppet:/var/puppet/lib

However this does result in the intended effect.  Consider :

$ puppet --version
0.25.5

$ grep libdir /etc/puppet/puppet.conf
    libdir = /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/lib:/var/lib/puppet/lib

$ sudo puppet --configprint libdir
/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/lib:/var/lib/puppet/lib

$ sudo /sbin/service puppet restart
Stopping puppet:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting puppet: Could not prepare for execution: Got 1 failure(s)
while initializing: change from absent to directory failed: Cannot
create /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/lib:/var/lib/puppet/lib; parent
directory /usr/share/puppet-dashboard/lib:/var/lib/puppet does not
exist
                                                           [FAILED]

Puppet appears to be looking for the literal contents of "libdir",
instead of interpreting a colon-separated list (which, i assume, is
the intended behaviour).
