Pe.conf

The pe.conf file is a HOCON-formatted file that declares parameters and values needed to install and configure Puppet Enterprise.

Found in /etc/puppetlabs/enterprise/conf.d.

Sample pe.conf file:

{

"console_admin_password": "password",

"puppet_enterprise::puppet_master_host": "",

"pe_install::puppet_master_dnsaltnames": [ "puppet" ]

}

We have add this pe.conf file in root directory , 

#vi /root/pe.conf

#cat /root/pe.conf

{

  "console_admin_password": "password_goes_here",

  "puppet_enterprise::puppet_master_host": "puppetmaster.zippyops.com"

  "pe_install::puppet_master_dnsaltnames": [

      "puppet",

      "master",

      "puppetmaster"

     ],

   "puppet_enterprise::use_application_services": true

}

Now we can start install puppet,

# ls

conf.d       locales   puppet-enterprise-installer    README.markdown

LICENSE.txt  packages  puppet-enterprise-uninstaller  VERSION

# ./puppet-enterprise-installer -c /root/pe.conf

* returned: 2

## Puppet Enterprise configuration complete!

Documentation: https://docs.puppet.com/pe/2018.1/index.html

Release notes: https://docs.puppet.com/pe/2018.1/release_notes.html

If this is a monolithic configuration, run 'puppet agent -t' to complete the setup of this system.

If this is a split configuration, install or upgrade the remaining PE components, and then run puppet agent -t on the Puppet master, PuppetDB, and PE console, in that order.

Where, C – directory for pe.conf file.

Go to the browser then you can browse host DNS name,

We have to use this url to connect to puppetmaster ,

# curl -k https://puppetmaster.zippyops.com:8140/packages/current/install.bash | sudo bash
