PE Bitbuket Server Vagrant Stack

This Vagrant stack includes 2 virtual machines:

VM Name	Description
puppet-master	A Monolithic install of PE 2017.3.2 on CentOS 7
bitbucket	BitBucket Server 5.6.2 on CentOS 7

The bitbucket VM is setup to install BitBucket Server using the all-in-one .bin installer from Atlassian. BitBucket Server is setup using a developer-mode which means it will only allow git push's to it for about 8 hours. You can create an account on https://my.atlassian.com and create a free evaluation license that will be good for 30 days. The licenses are very easy to make.

The goal of the stack is to facilitate testing and understanding of how to use code-manager with BitBucket Server.

BitBucket Access

You can reach the BitBucket Server UI on port 7990

Username is: admin

Password is: admin

What this stack does for you

The stack sets up a PE 2017.3.2 puppet master and a BitBucket Server 5.6.2 instance.

What's being automated?

If you are attempting to replicate this setup, here are the steps that you would need to complete manually (but that this stack takes care of for you).

1. Create an RBAC user on the Puppet master and generate an auth token to be used by the webhook.

• https://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/code_mgr_webhook.html#generate-an-authentication-token
• I've done this automatically with the puppet code in: site/profile/manifests/code_manager.pp

1. Add the Puppet Master's CA cert to the Java keystore on the BitBucket server:

• Determine the $JAVA_HOME value used for BitBucket by looking in: /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/<version>/bin/setenv.sh

  • You can also look at the System Information page of the Web GUI. In my case, it's /opt/atlassian/bitbucket/5.6.2/jre

• Run the following command and replace $JAVA_HOME with the path just determined:

  $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -import -alias puppet-server -file /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem -keystore $JAVA_HOME/lib/security/cacerts
  

  • When asked for a password, use changeit.

• There's Puppet code to automate the Java KS cert at: site/profile/manifests/bitbucket.pp:48-56

Manual Setup of BitBucket

After running vagrant up, there's a few things that need to be setup manually...

1. Install the following BitBucket Server plugin by logging into the web GUI of the BitBucket server and going to Find new add-ons.

   • https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.stash.plugin.stash-web-post-receive-hooks-plugin/server/overview

2. Make a Project and a new repository:

   • Project name: puppet (with a short name of PUP)
   • Repository name: control-repo

3. Create a user account that Code Manager will use to deploy code.

   • Create a user called puppet with a password of puppet.
   • Make the r10k user an admin of the PUP project.
     • This is needed to allow the automatic creation of deploy keys with abrader/gms.

4. Either use the admin user to test pushing code, or create a user for yourself and add your SSH key to that user.

   • If making a user for yourself, give your user account read/write or admin privilege to the PUP project.

5. Configure the hook on your control repo.

   • Click the Hooks tab under the repo's settings.

   • Click the pencil icon next to Post-Receive WebHooks

   • The URL to drop in should be in the format of:

     https://puppet-master:8170/code-manager/v1/webhook?type=stash&token=<TOKEN>
     

   • Replace <TOKEN> with the RBAC Token that was generated automatically for you.

     • The token value can be found on the puppet master in a file at: /vagrant/code_manager_rbac_token.txt
     • or in the Vagrant directory as: code_manager_rbac_token.txt

Troubleshooting

BitBucket

The main BitBucket log that you'll want to monitor to troubleshoot the webhook is:

/var/atlassian/application-data/bitbucket/log/atlassian-bitbucket.log

Most likely, the problem you have will be with SSL validation of code-manager. There's a java_ks resource in site/profile/manifests/bitbucket.pp that attempts to manage this. This guide shows how to manually add the Master's CA to the Java keystore that BitBucket uses.

Puppetserver

Monitor the puppetserver log to ensure that file-sync hasn't crashed puppetserver: /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log

TODO

Automate the initial setup of BitBucket Server (users, project, and repo creation). Probably with a combination of installer properties and API curls:
