To install Puppet on CentOS 7, you can basically follow [these instructions](http://www.unixmen.com/install-puppet-server-centos-7/).
Notes:
1. Don't forget to open the firewall:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8140/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
1. You may have to put SELinux into `permissive` mode to allow Apache read the `config.ru` owned by `puppet`.
To permanently switch from WEBrick to Apache, configure systemd like this:
systemctl disable puppetmaster
systemctl enable httpd
Install client agent on RedHat/CentOS
=====================================
1. Pick the correct repository for your version from [PuppetLabs](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html#for-red-hat-enterprise-linux-and-derivatives).
1. Install it:
yum install puppet
1. If needed, configure the Puppetmaster server name in `/etc/puppet/puppet.conf`:
[agent]
server = mypuppetmaster.example.org
1. Finally, add the cronjob[^1]:
puppet resource cron puppet-agent ensure=present user=root minute=30 command='/usr/bin/puppet agent --onetime --no-daemonize --splay'
[^1]: There's also a way to let the puppet agent run as a service described [here](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/install_puppet/post_install.html#start-the-puppet-agent-service),
but this can have an impact on cpu and memory usage.
