Cannot access Puppet Learning VM

Question

I have set up puppet learning VM on VirtualBox. I can ssh into it with:

ssh root@127.0.0.1 -p 2222

However, the guide says to do facter ipaddress , and ssh into the ipaddress that outputs. I get 10.0.2.15 .

If I try that ipaddress, it does not work. I want to get it to work.

Also, I am supposed to be able to access the Puppet gui from https://10.0.2.15 and am not able to do that. I think the two problems are related.

I have 3 adapters set up. 1. NAT, 2. host only adapter, 3. bridged network.

For #1, I have port forwarding set up (am not able to ssh without it).

Answer 1

NICs

I don't see any IP assigned to your NICs except eth0. I assume this learning VM is based on centos, please configure your network adapters correctly first.

check:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

This is no puppet or virtualbox issue.

port forwarding

Accessing https://10.0.2.15 will not work, this is an internal NAT network IP. Please create an entry for your VMs NAT Adapter under Port-Forwarding, just map Host Port 10443 to guest port 443. If you try to access https://localhost:10443 in your browser you should reach the service running on this VM and listening on port 443.(Check if the service is running and the firewall/iptables is open on all needed ports).

Answer 2

Patrick is right. The configuration within the CentOS box is strange.

It's working for me under windows but on my Ubuntu system I had big trouble setting up the Training VM.

My Tip: just add 22 and 80 port forwordings in your virtualbox. Change -> Network -> Adapter 1 -> Port-Forwarding -> add

Protokol: TCP | Host-Port: 2222 | Guest-IP: 10.0.2.15 | Guest-Port: 22 -> you may connect now by:

ssh localhost -p 2222 -l root

also:

Protokol: TCP | Host-Port: 8081 | Guest-IP: 10.0.2.15 | Guest-Port: 80 -> you may access the questguide via:

http://localhost:8081
