install-puppet

One-shot shell script that can be used to install puppet-agent on a supported POSIX platform.

Description

This repository contains a Ruby script (install.rb), which when executed will generate an install.sh file to be used for installing puppet-agent on supported FOSS POSIX platforms.

The script leverages Bolt tasks from the puppet_agent and facts modules, and attempts to change as few things as possible in order to create a working shell script which can be used with little to no external dependencies

Getting Started

Dependencies

  • A non-Windows platform for which Puppet provides official packages (see the full list here)
  • One of wget/curl/fetch/perl-LWP-Simple in order to download packages
  • bash (probably at least version 3)
  • Ability to run the script as root

Usage

Install with curl

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/puppetlabs/install-puppet/main/install.sh | bash

Install with wget

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/puppetlabs/install-puppet/main/install.sh | bash

Piping to bash is a controversial practice, so you are encouraged to inspect the contents of the script before executing it.

Script arguments

If run with no arguments, the script will install the latest stable version of puppet-agent.

You can install a specific version using:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/puppetlabs/install-puppet/main/install.sh | bash -s -- -v 6.24.0

Below is the full list of configurable options:

  • -v/--version - install a specific puppet-agent version
  • -c/--collection - install a specific puppet-agent collection (e.g. puppet7)
  • -n/--noop - do a dry run, do not change any files
  • --cleanup - remove the puppetlabs repository after installation finishes

Development

The Ruby script uses parts of the bash.sh task from the facts module, and the install_shell.sh task from the puppet_agent module to generate the install.sh file. The modules are vendored as git submodules; in order to initialize them, run git submodule update --init after cloning this repository.

After making your changes, run the following command to regenerate the shell script:

ruby install.rb

You can also run shellcheck on the resulting script, it will skip the vendored task parts and only warn on code specific to this repository.

shellcheck install.sh
