I setup puppet 4.3 on a Centos 7 server.
This is a puppet master that is also running puppet agent.
I am attempting to setup Puppet Device to configure a router.
when I attempt to run puppet device I see this error:
sudo puppet device --verbose
Info: starting applying configuration to r1 at telnet://r1/
Info: Creating a new SSL key for r1
Error: Could not request certificate: Could not write /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/devices/r1/ssl/private_keys/r1.pem to privatekeydir: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/devices/r1/ssl/private_keys/r1.pem
When I run puppet device sans sudo I see this error:
puppet device --verbose
Error: No device found in /home/<MEEEE>/.puppetlabs/etc/puppet/device.conf
Here is my /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/device.conf
[r1]
