Write a puppet module to accomplish the following: Automatically install and run

Question

Write a puppet module to accomplish the following: Automatically install and run apache with a default HTML page that gives information about the system. That information should be: Operating System name, uptime, load averages, and 3 others of your choice from the facter command.

Some Helpful steps:

Shutdown httpd if running.

Test your module to see if nginx is installed successfully.

Ensure that nginx is running as well. ---- systemctl status …?

Find out where the default index.html page is stored.-------- Somewhere in /var?

Modify your puppet module to use a template for said index.html

Create a template file for index.html to include the information from facter.

DON’T MODIFY THE /VAR ONE, create a template file in your module.

Recall the brief mention of the tag language stuff from the lecture.

Operating System name

Uptime

Load averages

and 3 other facts you find interesting from facter.
