Creating a Puppet Master Server
For this Instruction I am using 2 Virtual Machines on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
| Code Block |
|---|

Puppet default memory use is 2GB edit the puppetserver file to change it to 512mb.

# Modify this if you'd like to change the memory allocation, enable JMX, etc
JAVA_ARGS="-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" |
Defining the DNS for the Server
For the Puppet Agents to find the Puppet Master server the DNS needs to be defined in the configuration file.
| Code Block |

sudo vi /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf |
Add this to the end of the file since our server ip is 192.168.237.130 we will use this in our example.
| Code Block |

|
dns_alt_names = hostname,192.168.237.130
[main]
certname = 192.168.237.130
server = 192.168.237.130
environment = production
runinterval = 5m |
