Hi All,
I''m trying use use puppet in masterless mode to automate the setup of
an
RT4 server.
I''ve used the example preseed define from
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/Debian_Preseed_Patterns.
I set up RT4 manually, dumped the debconf keys into a preseed file, rolled
back the VM snapshot and tried to apply the manifest.
The apply failed with a bunch of errors from debconf-set-selections about
missing questions from the debconf db. Which suggested to me that the
debconf-set-selections was being done on an uninstalled package.
Sure enough, installing RT via apt, uninstalling (without purging) and
re-running the manifest succeeded. The bits that set up MySQL and its root
password work fine, but that package was selected at install time.
Is this a problem with the "responsefile" attribute of the apt package
provider? Or am I doing something wrong? TBH, I haven''t done much with
automating Debian/Ubuntu installs before now, so I wouldn''t be
surprised if
I''m completely missing the point with debconf.
The relevant bit of my manifest looks like this:
define preseed_package ( $ensure ) {
file { "/root/puppet/preseeds/$name.preseed":
mode => 600,
backup => false,
}
package { "$name":
ensure => $ensure,
responsefile => "/root/puppet/preseeds/$name.preseed",
require => File["/root/puppet/preseeds/$name.preseed"],
}
}
package { "apache2": ensure => present }
preseed_package { "mysql-server": ensure => present }
package { "mysql-client": ensure => present }
# Don''t want the default sqlite3 backend for RT
package { "rt4-db-mysql":
ensure => present,
before => Preseed_package["request-tracker4"]
}
preseed_package { "request-tracker4": ensure => present }
service { "mysql":
ensure => running,
enable => true,
require => Preseed_package["mysql-server"],
}
TIA,
rob
