Problem with installing puppetboard.

[jimezdoesit]

I had to reinstall puppetdb & puppetboard. I have all of my stuff in gitlab. When I tried to reinstall puppetboard I got the below error. The only fix is to copy over /srv/puppetboard from another machine :-(

Notice: /Stage[main]/Puppetboard/Python::Virtualenv[/srv/puppetboard/virtenv-puppetboard]/Exec[python_virtualenv_/srv/puppetboard/virtenv-puppetboard]/returns: ValueError: I/O operation on closed file

Looking at the error log you posted over at voxpupuli/puppetboard#343

This looks to be something with your python setup. From the logs your error is here:

I haven't looked at this module, are you always getting "latest"?

yes as far as I know. I am running three modules that tie all of this in together. Abstractit/puppet, puppetlabs/puppetdb, puppet/puppetboard and all deps. I have never seen this error before. when I run a new setup of centos 7.2 or 7.3 and yum update. I will install puppetserver and all of the stuff. It has been fine before. I have not changes my process but rather something else has changed maybe? Not sure...

[jimezdoesit]

Not sure why this worked but I changed the fqdn hostname of the puppetdb host to local host. Before it was the fqdn hostname. I still get the error but puppetboard is working. closing the issue.

The problem is you aren't updating, the problem isn't in puppetboard, it looks to be pip is failing to install setuptools. Here's a really good chain:
