Puppet in Docker Error while running the Puppet container

Question

I am using docker compose to pull and configure the puppet environment that includes a PuppetDB for which i have a docker-compose.yml file. 

While running the Puppet container I get the following error:

ERROR [puppetserver] Puppet Failed to execute '/pdb/cmd/v1?checksum=eeb40197db6a4ac3d8bce09778388cf7a812a621&version=5&certname=puppetdb.local&command=replace_facts' on at least 1 of the following 'server_urls': https://puppetdb:8081
ERROR [c.p.h.c.i.PersistentSyncHttpClient] Error executing http request
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

How do I resolve this? Kindly help.

Answer 1

Try to uncomment the following lines in the definition of the puppet service in the docker-compose.yaml file:

environment:
  - PUPPETDB_SERVER_URLS=https://puppetdb.local:8081
links:
  - puppetdb:puppetdb.local

This should probably resolve it!
