# Before Starting

This control repo and the steps below are intended to be used during a new installation of PE.
This control-repo and the steps below are intended to be used during a new installation of PE.

The instructions are geared towards a new installation of PE2015.3.z. However, the control-repo should work just fine on [PE2015.2.z](#upgrading-to-pe20153z-from-pe-20152z)

If you intend to use this control-repo on an existing installation then be warned that if you've already written or downloaded modules when you start using r10k it will remove all of the existing modules and replace them with what you define in your Puppetfile. Please copy or move your existing modules to another directory to ensure you do not lose any work you've already started.

# What You Get From This control-repo
# What you get from this control-repo

As a result of following the instructions below you will receive the beginning of a best-practices installation of PE including...

- A git server
- The ability to push code to your git server and have it automatically deployed to your PE Master
- A Git server
- The ability to push code to your Git server and have it automatically deployed to your PE master
- A config_version script to output the commit of code that your agent just applied
- Optimal tuning of PE settings for this configuration
- Working and example roles/profiles code

### Get the Control-Repo Deployed On Your Master

At this point you have our control-repo code deployed into your git server. However, we have one final challenge: getting that code onto your puppet master. In the end state the master will pull code from the git server via code manager, however, at this moment your puppet master does not have credentials to get code from the git server.

So, we will set up a deploy key in the git server that will allow a ssh-key we make to deploy the code and configure everything else.

Remove `pe_r10k` from the PE master group in the console and instead add the following two parameters to the `puppet_enterprise::profile::master` class under the PE master group.
- `r10k_remote` = the ssh url for your internal repo
- `r10k_remote` = the SSH URL for your internal repo
- `r10k_private_key` = `/etc/puppetlabs/puppetserver/code_manager.key`
When upgrading the `puppet_enterprise::profile::master` class has the `file_sync_enabled` parameter set to `false`. This parameter should be removed so that code manager can configure file sync.

Finally, you’ll need to `echo 'code_manager_mv_old_code=true' > /opt/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d/code_manager_mv_old_code.txt` so that my puppet code will redeploy all of your code with code manager.
