Configuring PPaaS

Follow steps given below to install Puppet Master on Ubuntu:

1.  Download the Puppet Master distribution package for the Ubuntu release.

   wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-<CODE_NAME>.deb
    
   # For example for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty:
   wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-trusty.deb

2. Install the downloaded distribution package.

   sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-<CODE_NAME>.deb  

3. Install Puppet Master.

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install puppetmaster

4. Install Passenger with Apache.

   For more information, see Install Apache and Passenger.

5. Change the Ubuntu hostname. Please follow the steps given below to change the Ubuntu hostname:

   1. Update the /etc/hosts file.

      sudo echo "127.0.0.1 puppet.test.org" >> /etc/hosts

   2. Change the value of the hostname.

      sudo hostname puppet.test.org

6. Add the following entry to the /etc/puppet/autosign.conf file:

    

   *.test.org

7.  Add the server=puppet.test.org line to the puppet.conf file, which is in the /etc/puppet directory.

   [main]
   server=puppet.test.org
   logdir=/var/log/puppet
   vardir=/var/lib/puppet
   ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
   rundir=/var/run/puppet
   factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
   templatedir=$confdir/templates
   dns_alt_names=puppet
   
   [master]
   # These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger
   # and can safely be removed if webrick is used.
   ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
   ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

8. Restart the Puppet Master.

   /etc/init.d/puppetmaster restart

9. Download the VM Tools by navigating to the following path via the PPaaS product page.

   Cartridges > common > wso2ppaas-vm-tools-4.1.1

10. Copy and replace the content in the Puppet Master's /etc/puppet folder with the content in the <VM_TOOLS>/Puppet directory.

11. Configure the mandatory modules.

Mandatory modules

It is mandatory to configure the following modules when configuring Puppet Master for PPaaS:

• Python Cartridge Agent Module
• Java Module
• Configurator Module
  
  

Python Cartridge Agent Module

1. Download the Cartridge Agent via the PPaaS product page.

2. Copy the downloaded apache-stratos-python-cartridge-agent-4.1.4.zip  to the /etc/puppet/modules/python_agent/files directory.

3. Change the file permission value, of the apache-stratos-python-cartridge-agent-4.1.4.zip file, to 0755.

   chmod 755 apache-stratos-python-cartridge-agent-4.1.4.zip

4. Update the base.pp file in the /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes directory, with the following Python agent variables.

     $pca_name             = 'apache-stratos-python-cartridge-agent'
     $pca_version          = '4.1.4'
     $mb_ip                = 'MB-IP'
     $mb_port              = 'MB-PORT'
     $mb_type              = 'activemq' #in wso2mb case, value should be 'wso2mb'
     $cep_ip               = "CEP-IP"
     $cep_port             = "7711"
     $cep_username         = "admin"
     $cep_password         = "admin"
     $bam_ip               = '192.168.30.96'
     $bam_port             = '7611'
     $bam_secure_port      = '7711'
     $bam_username         = 'admin'
     $bam_password         = 'admin'
     $metadata_service_url = 'METADATA-SERVICE-URL'
     $agent_log_level      = 'INFO'
     $enable_log_publisher = 'false'

   Optionally you can configure the MB_IP, MB_PORT, PUPPET_IP and the PUPPET_HOSTNAME in the network partition as shown below.

   It must be noted that the values defined in the network partition receives higher priority over the values declared in the base.pp file ( i.e., The values declared in the base.pp file are overwritten by the values declared in the network partition.).

   {
       "id": "network-partition-openstack",
       "provider": "openstack",
       "partitions": [
           {
               "id": "partition-1",
               "property": [
                   {
                       "name": "region",
                       "value": "<REGION>"
                   }
               ]
           },
           {

               "property": [
                   {
                       "name": "region",
                       "value": "<REGION>"
                   }
               ]
           }
       ],
       "properties": [

           },
           {
               "name": "payload_parameter.MB_IP",
               "value": "<MESSAGE_BROKER_IP>"
           },
           {
               "name": "payload_parameter.MB_PORT",

           },
           {
               "name": "payload_parameter.PUPPET_HOSTNAME",
