    Problem resolved. Before we used custom module puppetagent, and we switched to puppetlabs puppetgant module. There is right now a difference --> previously (in our custom module) - when we execute "puppet agent -t" it would also ensure puppet service is running. And not after switch to puppetlabs puppetagent module -> service is not ensured. We will check if it's possible to do it via module's config.

    Hi Everyone, Do we have puppet task available on forge to upgrade the debian 9 to debian 11 ?
  • l
    I doubt there's ever going to be a task to upgrade multiple versions of debian at once (which I am 99% sure debian itself doesn't support)
  • b
    he
  • l
    but the puppetlabs/apt puppet module can manage the sources list, and it has a task that can run apt-get dist-upgrade for you
  • b
    sed on the mirrorlist, apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get dist-upgrade -y; reboot; puppet agent -t
  • d
  • b
    that's a plan with 3 tasks and a 80% chance it boots afterwards
  • l
    lol
  • l
    and a 100% chance that you'll break production if you don't test carefully
  • b
    in that case don't test it at all
  • b
    there are enough prod servers for the plan to evolve over time
  • l
    and my plan would be to build a new set of environments and migrate to them
  • l
    but I tend to be wildly risk averse to distro major version upgrades on servers
  • b
    yeah. so I had great success in the past upgrading debian/ubuntu boxes. but it doesn't hurt to reprovision boxes from time to time. that's also a good posibility to test and update/adjust the puppet code
  • l
    I have too, but I see distro upgrade time as an opportunity to do hardware refresh, puppet upgrades/fixes, and clean up app dependencies
  • b
    totally agree. if you've the hardware resources to spin up additional boxes, do it
  • b
    I'm currently hacking on a face: https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-catalog-diff/pull/72/files#diff-ce90ff50b7227fb27b6fe6905bd9889bf93c1f32e7494be55446eb40dfe17786R94 . is there an easy way to get the paths to the tls ca/crt/key from the puppet agent?

    the Puppet 6 and 7 documentation has release notes that should cover both server and DSL changes
  • l
    but the short answer is other then a few minor deprecations the DSL didn't change, I've taken p4 code to p6 without issue

    When switching environments that changes stdlib from 5.x to 6.x I now get this error. Any ideas how this could happen? Deleting the file line file fixes it
    Copy code

    @Zeke Marffy I'm assuming you're seeing the error on the server during compilation? If so, did you set an 
    environment_timeout
    ? If so, you'll need to reload puppetserver after editing the type

    Anyone know if there's any documentation on setting up the puppet agent service on linux so it can do everything it needs but not requiring root access?
