I am running puppet to enable or disable services using the systemd provider and I am getting the following error: Error: /Stage[main]/Time::Service/Service[ntpd.service]: Provider systemd is not functional on this host When I run it manually e.g. by executing: systemctl enable ntpd.service it works fine: Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service
This is a chroot setup, so puppet runs within the chroot. Within the chroot the directory /run/systemd/system does not exist, but now seems to be required by: /usr/share/ruby/vendor_ruby/puppet/provider/service/systemd.rb confine :exists => "/run/systemd/system"
I found this problem too when using diskimage-builder in upstream nodepool to build fedora23 images. I opened [1] and created [2] to see what we can do about this [1] https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-5577 [2] https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/4481
Created attachment 1103692 [details] workaround for the systemd confine I have used this to successfully run puppet in a chroot on Fedora
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
