fumiko
Update: this server was retired in favor of evelyn.
fumiko was named after Fumiko Kaneko, a Japanese feminist, anti-colonialist, anarchist and nihilist, (possibly self-)convicted of plotting to assassinate the Japanese emperor.
It's my first "cloud" VM (hence nihilism) designed to survive majour outages or moves on marcos.
I picked linode because it's cheap, it's not Hetzner (which we use extensively at work), and they have locations close to me. At first I thought of using their Toronto PoP but the Newark PoP was 10 ms closer (40ms vs 30ms).
I set it up with a plain Debian 11 bullseye install from Linode, then
installed git tmux puppet.
At first I upgraded the box to bookworm, but destroyed the VM and recreated it because puppet-agent 7 can't bootstrap against a puppet-server 5.
So, bootstrap code is basically:
apt install foot-terminfo tmux
tmux
apt upgrade
hostname fumiko
hostname > /etc/hostname
echo 45.33.74.92 fumiko.anarc.at fumiko >> /etc/hosts
apt install puppet
puppet agent --test --server puppet.anarc.at
then on the master:
puppet ca list | grep $HASH_FROM_ABOVE
puppet ca sign fumiko.anarc.at
then on fumiko again:
puppet agent --test
