hi!

I'm trying to use your image on a Raspberry Pi 4.
aarch64 (ARM), 8Gb RAM, 22Gb free disk space.

I'm launching it with the recommended parameters:
docker run --name puppet --hostname puppet.vpn.rv.ua -p 8140:8140 -v ./code:/etc/puppetlabs/code -v ./ca:/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/ca ghcr.io/voxpupuli/container-puppetserver

The server starts up. Here are the logs.

The client is a fresh EC2 instance, x86_64, Ubuntu 22 LTS.
only puppet-agent is installed, and the server configuration is specified.

please, help, how to solve it ?
thanks in advance

I normally run it from a compose.yaml. maybe this helps

Thank you for your response and advice.

I tried to reproduce...

I took a clean Ubuntu22 on ARM architecture at AWS.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, arm64 jammy image build on 2023-12-07
t4g.smalll, 2 vCPU, 2 GiB Memory, 20Gb EBS volume.

The security group is clear: allowing any traffic to any.
An external IP was added, domain 'puppet.vpn.rv.ua' was pointed to this external IP.

On this server, I performed the following tasks:

  • set hostname (puppet.vpn.rv.ua)
  • install docker (by official script curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh)
  • install docker-compose
  • create docker-file.yml
    and tried to run a container.

Using EXACTLY your file, I got these errors:"
ERROR: Named volume "puppetserver:/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver:rw" is used in service "puppet" but no declaration was found in the volumes section.
and
ERROR: Head "https://ghcr.io/v2/container-puppetserver/manifests/7.14.0-latest": name invalid

i manually get an image:

root@puppet:~# docker pull voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:7.14.0-latest
...
Status: Downloaded newer image for voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:7.14.0-latest
docker.io/voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:7.14.0-latest

adjusted file to this state (just add volumes and use already downloaded image):

services:
  puppet:
    image: voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:7.14.0-latest
    hostname: puppet
    environment:

please, help me solve a problem.

I can provide access to both the server and the client.

so you have two vms? on one docker with the puppetserver running? and the second vm is an agent?
when you start the server with docker internal name puppet and vm external name puppet.vpn.rv.ua this will be a cert miss match. try to set DNS_ALT_NAMES.

services:
  puppet:
    image: voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:7.14.0-latest
    hostname: puppet
    environment:
      - PUPPETSERVER_HOSTNAME=puppet
      - DNS_ALT_NAMES=puppet.vpn.rv.ua
      ...

there for you might need to throw your ca away. you can do that by purging the puppetserver-ssl, puppetserver-ca volumes or just use local bind mounts if you arent used to volumes.

you might use full pathes or relativ pathes

    volumes:
      - ./puppetserver:/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver
      - ./puppetserver-ssl:/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl
      - /my/path/on/the/host/puppetserver-ca:/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/ca

no. It is a two separate machines (EC2).
on first is running puppet-server as a docker container.
the second one - is a 'destination', which should be provisioned by the puppet server

when you start the server with docker internal name puppet and vm external name puppet.vpn.rv.ua this will be a cert miss match. try to set DNS_ALT_NAMES.
- PUPPETSERVER_HOSTNAME=puppet
- DNS_ALT_NAMES=puppet.vpn.rv.ua

ok, will check soon

bad news, everyone

I used the next docker-compose.yml file on the server (a virgin clean new EC2):

services:
  puppet:
    image: voxpupuli/container-puppetserver:7.14.0-latest
    hostname: puppet
    environment:
      - PUPPETSERVER_HOSTNAME=puppet
      - DNS_ALT_NAMES=puppet.vpn.rv.ua
      - PUPPETSERVER_PORT=8140
      - PUPPETDB_HOSTNAME=puppetdb
      - PUPPETDB_SSL_PORT=8081
      - USE_PUPPETDB=true
      - AUTOSIGN=true
      # For private repos, use [email protected]:user/repo.git and provide SSH keys
      # - R10K_REMOTE=https://github.com/betadots/demo-control-repo.git
    volumes:
      - ./data:/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver
      - ./ssl:/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl
      - ./ca:/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/ca
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8140:8140

changes are in:
envs - add DNS_ALT_NAMES
volumes - point directs to local folders

maintenance tasks:
set hostname, install docker & docker-composer, create docker-compose.yml, ...

run:

weird situation: I set up a similar puppet server (as a docker container too) on the x86_64 architecture several months ago
and I didn't imagine that I could get stuck on that kind of problem

i used this config:
docker run -t
--log-opt max-size=10000m --log-opt max-file=1
--name puppet
--hostname puppet.domain.com
-p 8140:8140
-v /root/puppet/environments:/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments
-d
puppet/puppetserver:5.3.7

and everything working fine

hmm maybe my comment was missleading. when you dont have/want a puppetdb you shouldn't configure it.

I tested your setup.

one vm (at gcp) as puppetserver: puppet.priv.rw.betadots.training
one vm (at gcp) as agent: worker-0.priv.rw.betadots.training
both Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. Internal network open for all traffic.

on puppet.priv.rw.betadots.training installed docker. and run this compose.yaml

This is working for me. 🤔

your EC2 instances use public ips? there isnt any filter in between? local firewall?

your log line looks a bit odd

Error: request https://puppet.vpn.rv.ua:8140//puppet-ca/v1/certificate_revocation_list/ca failed: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 peeraddr=18.157.83.126:8140 state=error: certificate verify failed (unable to get issuer certificate)

why is there a double slash 🤔
puppet.vpn.rv.ua:8140**//**puppet-ca

but this shouldn't cause such problems. 🤔

Are you sure, that you can run a Puppet 5 agent against a Puppet 7 server?
Your old example also uses Puppet 5 server.
Please use a Puppet 7 agent (or at least a Puppet 6 agent)
Puppet documentation says puppet 7 (and 8) are compatible with Puppet agent 4 or newer.
But I doubt that this is true.

yes, i know that was Puppet Server version 5
but I don't think the way it works has changed significantly in version 7

today i tried your configs
as expected, it didn't work, the same error occurred :(

meanwhile, i installed Puppet Server 7.15.0
not as a container, but just on the host
for testing
i checked the agent – there's no problem with the certificate

but there's a strange thing: the Puppet Server is not listening to IPv4, only IPv6
But everything works

root@puppet:~# netstat -tulpan | grep LIST

hmmmm very strange.... but netstat is sometimes missleading, it says tcp6 but means tcp4 and tcp6 🤔

I happened to come across the same issue, installed the server from the crafty repo docker compose setup, tried both 8.4 and 8.5, yet the 5.5.x client from a Ubuntu 22 LTS won't connect:

Error: Could not request certificate: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 peeraddr=x.y.z.w:8140 state=error: certificate verify failed (unable to get issuer certificate): [unable to get issuer certificate for /CN=Puppet CA generated on puppet-1.our.domain at 2024-04-11 09:17:52 +0000]

A 7.23 client from a Debian 12 does successfully connect.

A matching version 8.5 client from Windows also complains it can't verify the certificate

muscat commented Apr 12, 2024

I've figured out:

Only a puppet-agent version 8 can connect to a Puppet server installed in a Docker container. Puppet agents of lower versions cannot connect due to an issue with a double slash in the certificate path.

However, if the Puppet server is installed directly on a host, any version of puppet-agent can connect to it.
