getaddrinfo

When I run the agent, I get this error. Not sure what's wrong.

λ aether ~ → sudo puppet agent -t
Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue:

Me too.

I think what fixed this was a mixture of adding server=tilde to the [main] section of /etc/puppet/puppet.conf and having this in /etc/hosts:

127.0.1.1 matilde.club tilde

And /etc/hostname:

matilde.club

At least some of that made it work. Good luck!

Okay, then I get these errors:

λ aether ~ → sudo puppet agent -t
Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue:
Warning: Server hostname 'aether.[MYDOMAIN]' did not match server certificate; expected one of aether.[SEARCH DOMAIN], DNS:aether.[SEARCH DOMAIN], DNS:puppet, DNS:puppet.[SEARCH DOMAIN]

I'm here too:

erver hostname 'tilde' did not match server certificate

[audy]

Okay I have it running :) Make sure you're running the right version of Puppet.

[tekknolagi]

What do you have? I have 3.7.3.

[audy]

The same.

[tekknolagi]

OK! Got it. You should run 3.4.3 even though it's old. Then I generated a new SSL certificate for the actual hostname/domain. Then it worked! :D

[tekknolagi]

Though 3.4.x+ was not immediately clear that I could not run anything but the 3.4 series. I interpreted it as anything above 3.4. In retrospect it seems more obvious.
