Roles and profiles to setup a puppetdb in masterless mode

Setup

Clone this repo.

Install all required modules from the forge:

• puppetdb
• apache

  puppet module install puppetlabs/puppetdb --modulepath <vagrant>/puppet/modules
  puppet module install puppetlabs/apache --modulepath <vagrant>/puppet/modules

Edit the example Vagrantfile. This file assumes the vagrant hostmanager plugin is installed. This is needed to setup the /etc/hosts files if the vagrant boxes. I used the puppetlabs provided vagrant-libvirt boxes. Templates for these boxes can be found at https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-packer. Boxes are installed with the aio puppet agent package.

When the box names are changed, one need to change also the certnames in the /puppet/manifests/site.pp.

vagrant up 
vagrant ssh puppetdb
sudo
/vagrant/go_puppet.sh

repeat also on the client1 box.

How it works ?

This implements the SSL termination method mentioned at https://docs.puppet.com/puppetdb/latest/connect_puppet_apply.html.

Why ?

Now you can play with exported resources without installing a full puppet master stack.

Tips

From the client, one can query puppetdb using following command :

curl -X GET --insecure "Accept: application/json" 'https://puppetdb.koewacht.net:8081/pdb/query/v4/resources' --data-urlencode 'query=["=","exported", true]'

On the pupeptdb, one can use the plain https port.

curl -X GET "Accept: application/json" 'http://localhost:8080/pdb/query/v4/resources' --data-urlencode 'query=["=","exported", true]'

Issues etc ?

Any ideas, remarks may be filed as an issue. And af course, PR's are welcome.

I hope someone does find this usefull one way are another.
