agent's puppet.conf contains incorrect master hostname if fqdn hostnames are used

[jessereynolds]

I would like to use qualified domain names as the vm names in my puppet environment so that I can use puppet to update /etc/hosts on my mac (using vagrant hosts puppetize | sudo puppet apply) and have each environment not stomp on each other. Also, it's a better simulation of real world setups.

I've tried doing this:

vagrant oscar init
vagrant oscar init-vms \
  --master master.workflow.example=puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-nocm \
  --agent  git.workflow.example=puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-nocm \
  --agent  agent1.workflow.example=puppetlabs/centos-6.6-64-nocm \
  --pe-version 2015.2.0
# hack in iptables disabling shell provisioners to config/roles.yaml
# increase memory allocation of master from 1GB to 3GB
vagrant up

This does along OK until an agent tries to do a puppet run. You get a certificate mismatch error:

[root@agent1 ~]# puppet agent -t
Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue:

I can workaround this by updating the server address in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf from master to master.workflow.example

Am I doing this all wrong? How else can you set up vms with qualified domain names as hostnames?

I've found the following workaround to this:

• initialise the oscar environment as above
• modify config/roles.yaml file as follows:
  • under the pe_bootstrap provisioner under the pe-puppet-agent role, add the following key/value pair: master: master.workflow.example

Example config/roles.yaml file:

---
roles:
  pe-puppet-master:
    private_networks:
      - {ip: '0.0.0.0', auto_network: true}
    provider:
      type: virtualbox
      customize:
        - [modifyvm, !ruby/sym id, '--memory', 3096]
    provisioners:
      - {type: hosts}
      - {type: shell, inline: "/sbin/chkconfig iptables off ; /sbin/service iptables stop"}
      - {type: pe_bootstrap, role: !ruby/sym master}

  pe-puppet-agent:
    private_networks:
      - {ip: '0.0.0.0', auto_network: true}
    provider:
      type: virtualbox
      customize:
        - [modifyvm, !ruby/sym id, '--memory', 512]
    provisioners:
      - {type: hosts}
      - {type: shell, inline: "/sbin/chkconfig iptables off ; /sbin/service iptables stop"}
      - {type: pe_bootstrap, master: 'master.workflow.example'}
