Development Environments
Beside the prod and preprod environments also development environments can be deployed on the puppet server. To create a new test environment simply:
- Clone the puppet repository https://git.psi.ch/linux-infra/puppet
- Create a new branch with a name that matches following regex:
^[a-z]+[a-z,0-9,_]+$(e.g. my_test_branch) - Do and commit your changes
- Push the new branch / changes to the git server
Whenever the git server receives a push a gitlab-runner gets triggered on the puppet server that does the automatic checkout of the branch and registers this as a new development environment.
Note: If branches are deleted on the git server the corresponding checkouts/environments on the puppet server will also be removed.
To use/test the code changes via the puppet test environment use
puppet agent -t --environment=issue_x
Continue the commit / push / test cycle until your changes are working. Afterwards create a merge request for the branch to the preprod branch.
Development Environment Names
The name of an branch/environment must match the following regex expression: ^[a-z]+[a-z,0-9,_]+$
If the name is not compliant with this rule, a push of the branch to the git server will not be possible.
Attach Node to Different Puppet Server
For testing purpose you might change the Puppet server to which a test node is attached to. To do so do, change the server in the [main] section of /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf accordingly.
Then delete the current host and CA certficate and the CRL:
#. rm /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/*
#. rm /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/crl.pem
Finally run the puppet agent again.
