ytlaces

Installing

1. clone this repo
2. install puppet
3. symlink repo to one of the following until it works:

• /etc/puppet/code/modules/ (possibly since puppet 4?)
• /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/ytlaces
• /etc/puppet/code/environments/standalone_puppet/modules

4. install the following modules:

• puppet module install puppetlabs-vcsrepo
• puppet module install puppetlabs-apt
• puppet module install puppet-archive

4. Run the appropriate bin/install_{env}.

• $ puppet apply examples/init.pp

installation into rc and profile

The following files serve the following purposes:

filename	purpose
$HOME/.xprofile	yt-laces managed, for configuration that applies to all yt machines.
$HOME/.profile	user-managed, for configuration specific to the host.
$HOME/.bashrc	user-managed, for configuration specific to the host. should source ytlaces.

• add a section into your bash/zsh rc file that sources in a whole directory of rc files:

  . $HOME/.ytlaces/init

post-install setup.

There's a couple more steps that need to run, post-install for now:

• add a resolv.conf line for google's 8.8.8.8 dns. This ensures that a public dns is used before a private one.
• ibus-setup

Setting up from a fresh Windows install

• run disk manager ("Create and format hard disk partitions") in the search
• shrink main volume by desired amount.
• disable UEFI secure boot (arch linux boot will not start without it)
• start arch linux boot partition
• follow setting up arch instructions

Setting up Arch

• after installation, you may need to enable and start up network devices:
  • ip link dev eno1 up
  • systemctl enable dhcpcd
  • systemctl start dhcpcd

wifi-menu can be used to connect to the network.

Then run:

• bin/install_yay
• yay -S install insync

Testing

After installing ytlaces, the following should be validated:

• set password

Troubleshooting

CA certificates /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl expired

• remove existing certs sudo rm -r /etc/puppetlabs/ssl
• install puppetserver (in arch AUR)
• run sudo puppetserver ca setup

cannot find "::ytlaces"

for some reason I had to sudo as root, then do the apply to find the module. some new version of puppet has issues?

This seemed to be fixed by symlinking ytlaces into the /usr/share/puppet/modules directory, or by fixing the name of the class in ./metadata.json to ytlaces instead of yt-laces.

I verified the puppet module was successfully installed with puppet modules list as root (since you need to root to run this file).
