Puppet git structure (different repos for each): /etc/puppetlabs/puppet, /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production (excludes modules), /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/hcoop. Subject to change.

Git repos structure and tracking of installed modules will be revisited once we need to set up multiple environments. For now, ` /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/hcoop` is where all of our code aside from node definitions lives.

Puppet module structure:

 * hcoop
   * server
     * $server (e.g. gibran)
   * service
     * openafs-client

=== puppetdb ===

install guide is weird

 puppet resource package puppetdb ensure=latest
 puppet resource package puppetdb-termini ensure=latest
 puppet module install puppetlabs-puppetdb

=== installed modules ===

 * puppetlabs-firewall
 * puppetlabs-puppetdb
 * alexharvey-firewall_multi (says incompatible, but works... enough).
 * stm-resolv_conf
 * ccin2p3-mit_krb5
 * stm-debconf
 * saz-sudo

=== style guide ===

Ideas for keeping consistency among admins

 * Use firewall_multi for all rules unless it really is ipv4 or ipv6 only, provider is set in defaults and will keep ipv4 and ipv6 firewall in sync
 * Should pass puppet-lint (enforce using git hook) / rspect https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.5/style_guide.html
 * Inheritance is discouraged? Avoiding it for now
 * Files controlled by puppet have comment "Puppet controlled" somewhere near the top
 * Some structure to firewall rule numbers
  * Under 100 for core system things that need to go near the beginning
  * Over 900 for core system things that need to go near the end (e.g. jumping to fwtool output chains)
 * will openafs be smart enough find fileservers on private interfaces?
   * if not, local aliases in hosts? any way to achieve this? (private networking is unbilling, so ideally we will take advantage of it)
   * `vos listaddrs` showed private interfaces so seems like clients might be able to auto home?

gibran.hcoop.net is virtual machine at digital ocean that will become our primary afs server

It is named after the author Kahlil Gibran

1. Setup Notes

Or: things that need to go into Puppet

  • set domain name to hcoop.net manually
    • need to review setup... hostname = gibran, using domain hcoop.net in resolv.conf, and 159.203.101.102 gibran.hcoop.net gibran in hosts (similar setup to other hcoop servers), but ... maybe we should just be leaving hosts alone and putting the fqdn into hostname ?

    • original setup had "gibran.localdomain gibran 127.0.1.1"
  • removed joe (or at least update-alternatives editor to either vim or emacs...)

  • root has basic emacs config for puppet-mode and melpa (probably no need to formalize that...)
  • manually installed libnss-afs

1.1. todo

2. AFS Setup Notes

  • Not sure we want to link /etc/openafs/CellServDB to /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB or not
    • downside: client ignores dns, upside: client works if dns is down
    • Left client CellServDB separate for the time being

Questions

  • will openafs be smart enough find fileservers on private interfaces?
    • if not, local aliases in hosts? any way to achieve this? (private networking is unbilling, so ideally we will take advantage of it)
    • vos listaddrs showed private interfaces so seems like clients might be able to auto home?
