Install Continuous Delivery in an air-gapped environment

When necessary, you can create an air-gapped bundle from a Bolt project and copy the bundle to the install target. This bundle contains all the images and dependencies needed to install Continuous Delivery on the desired host.

1. Install Bolt version 3.27.4 or later on a Linux jumphost. This can be the intended Continuous Delivery 5.x host, or any other system.
2. Create the Continuous Delivery Bolt project and switch to that directory.

   mkdir cd4pe-bolt-project 
   cd cd4pe-bolt-project
   bolt project init cd4pe_bolt_project

   If your jumphost is air-gapped, ensure the following images are available to the jumphost under cd4pe-bolt-project/downloads/cd4pe/images before installing Continuous Delivery:

   • https://storage.googleapis.com/cd4pe-images/gcr.io_platform-services-297419_teams-ui_5.y.z.tar.gz
   • https://storage.googleapis.com/cd4pe-images/gcr.io_platform-services-297419_cd4pe_continuous-delivery-for-puppet-enterprise_5.y.z.tar.gz
   • https://storage.googleapis.com/cd4pe-images/gcr.io_estate-reporting_query-service_1.8.16.tar.gz
   • https://storage.googleapis.com/cd4pe-images/bitnami_postgresql_14.7.0.tar.gz
3. Edit the bolt-project.yaml file created by Bolt to change the modules section to one of the following:
   • If the jumphost can connect to the internet you need to specify the module to install and your Forge API token. Change the modules and module-install sections to:

     # bolt-project.yaml
     modules:
       - name: puppetlabs/cd4peadm
         version_requirement: 5.y.z
     
     module-install:
       forge:
          authorization_token: 'Bearer <your API token>'
          baseurl: https://forgeapi.puppet.com
     

   • If the jumphost is also air-gapped, you need to point your dependencies to where you are mirroring the required modules, for example:

     # bolt-project.yaml
     modules:
     - git: https://example.git.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-cd4peadm
       ref: 5.y.z
     - git: https://example.git.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt
       ref: v9.4.0
     - git: https://example.git.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-docker
       ref: v9.1.0
     - git: https://example.git.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-powershell
       ref: v6.0.0
     - git: https://example.git.com/puppetlabs/ruby-pwsh
       ref: v1.1.1
     - git: https://example.git.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-reboot
       ref: v5.0.0
     - git: https://example.git.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib
       ref: v9.6.0

   • Optional: Download module tarballs and use the method outlined in Installing and managing modules from the command line.
4. Install the cd4peadm module and its dependencies using the command: bolt module install.
5. Create an inventory.yaml file with the connection information for the host on which Continuous Delivery 5.x is to be installed. For example:

   ---
   groups:
     - name: cd4pe-nodes
       config:
         transport: ssh
         ssh:
           host-key-check: false
           native-ssh: true
           private-key: /path/to/your/private/key
           user: root
       targets:
         - cd4pev5.<yourcompany.com>

   If you are installing on a localhost, use the following inventory.yaml instead:

   ---
   groups:
     - name: cd4pe-nodes
       config:
         transport: local
       targets:
         - uri: localhost

6. Install Continuous Delivery on the target host using: bolt plan run cd4peadm::install.
