We done it 2 different ways: *) Pull and run a shellscript that sets puppet to run when the computer first boots up.
Or instead of running the shell script, run something like this: get private_keys/bootstrap.pem (Pseudocode) get signed/bootstrap.pem (Pseudocode) get public_keys/ca.pem (Pseudocode) #Then run puppetd --no-daemonize --verbose --debug --hostprivkey=/var/lib/puppet/ssl/private_keys/bootstrap.pem --hostcert=/var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/bootstrap.pem --onetime --certname=bootstrap > /target/root/puppet.log #Now, when the computer reboots, the real run will happen with the computer's real name On Oct 14, 2010, at 3:47 AM, Michal Ludvig wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'm installing Puppet on RHEL5 systems using KickStart but struggle with the > first boot. > > Here's my situation: > 1) kickstart installs the system, including puppet from our local repo > 2) after reboot I have to login and set the hostname and IP > 3) then run puppet, register it with the server and bring in the config > 4) configure puppet for automatic start > > I have to configure the hostname before running puppet for the first time, > otherwise it makes its certificate with a wrong name (either 'localhost' or > something supplied by dhcp).
