taichernchao/puppet repository overview

*This works on Linux Ubuntu, Windows (Ubuntu installation is needed), or Oracle VirtualBox (Linux Ubuntu) installed on your Windows machine.

Prerequisites:

• Have your Docker account created so that you're able to push to/pull from DockerHub repository.
• Amazon AWS account created. (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html⁠)
• Setting up EC2 instance and generate a pem file. (https://youtu.be/EGWyN6DMI1g?t=278⁠)
• Make sure Ubuntu version is up-to-date if you're running on a VirtualBox for full functionality.

Steps to execute Puppet compiler:

1. Open up your terminal.

2. Run the following command to connect your machine to AWS EC2 Instance: Example: ssh -i 'AKP.pem' [email protected]⁠

3. Once you're connected to your AWS EC2 Instance, run the following command to start docker daemon: 'sudo service docker start'

4. After you get Docker service running, execute the next command to pull the docker image for Puppet from DockerHub repository: 'docker pull taichernchao/puppet:latest'

5. You'll need to run the build command every time you make any changes to update your Dockerfile before you get into Puppet compiler: 'docker build . -t taichernchao/puppet'

6. Create a Puppet file so that you can execute the command to run Puppet later.

7. Now, run the following command to get into the Puppet compiler: 'docker run -it --privileged taichernchao/puppet bash'

8. Check if you have 'bundler' and 'logger' gems installed by using 'gem list' command

9. Lastly, run the following bundle command to compile the puppet file created on Step 6: 'bundle exec puppet apply (Puppet file name).pp'

   The above messages indicate an example of a successful compilation of the Puppet compiler. If an error occurred, it should return texts in red or tracebacks to your terminal and something needs to be fixed.
