Hello All,
I recently found an excellent feature that I never knew about. I
never knew that you could source an array of files and then have
puppet figure out which one to use (like a case statement, within the
source directive.
An example of this would be:
file { "/etc/sysctl.conf":
source => [
"puppet://server/sysctl/sysctl.conf.$hostname",
"puppet://server/sysctl/sysctl.conf.$tuningpolicy",
"puppet://server/sysctl/sysctl.conf",
]
}
Is it possible to do the same thing with templates?
An example of what I want to do is:
file { "/etc/sysctl.conf":
content => [
template("sysctl.conf.$hostname.erb"),
template("sysctl.conf.$tuningpolicy.erb"),
template("sysctl.conf.erb"),
]
}
Thank you very much for the help.
-Tom

Here is an example I''ve used for exim that may suit your needs. content => $directadmin_exim ? { ''antispam'' => template(''directadmin/exim/ exim.antispam.conf.erb''), ''local'' => template(''directadmin/exim/ exim.local.conf.erb''), ''custom'' => template("directadmin/exim/hosts/exim.$ {hostname}.conf.erb"), default => template(''directadmin/exim/ exim.default.conf.erb''), }, -L -- Larry Ludwig Reductive Labs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

All templates outputs are concatenated... see: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/FunctionReference#template Maybe one would like to have the same behaviour as with file. I was once in the sitauton where I wanted exactly that. Unfortunatly, it does not work that way. udo. -- :: udo waechter - root@zoide.net :: N 52º16''30.5" E 8º3''10.1" :: genuine input for your ears: http://auriculabovinari.de :: your eyes: http://ezag.zoide.net :: your brain: http://zoide.net

It doesn''t seem to work from me, bombing out if the template specified first doesn''t exist. you''d expect it to gracefully ignore and try the next...this a bug? running puppet-0.24.6-1.1 On Jul 23, 12:31 pm, Udo Waechter <udo.waech...@uni-osnabrueck.de> wrote:> hmmm, right after sending the provious mail, I realised something: > > On 23.07.2009, at 21:27, Udo Waechter wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > On 23.07.2009, at 19:58, TomTom wrote: > > >> Is it possible to do the same thing with templates? > >> An example of what I want to do is: > > >> file { "/etc/sysctl.conf": > >> content => [ > >> template("sysctl.conf.$hostname.erb"), > >> template("sysctl.conf.$tuningpolicy.erb"), > >> template("sysctl.conf.erb"), > >> ] > >> } > > > Unfortunately, the behaviour here is different.
