I''m running puppet in a local VM to do some testing, and all of our systems are behind a proxy. I''ve got the http_proxy environment variable set properly, but when I try to use puppet module install <foo> it doesn''t seem to honor it and can''t connect. I used wget to download it, but even when I use modulepath it still tries to connect to the forge and

Is there a way to get a list of all the classes available from the puppet master? I have 2 goals for this - one is documentation in a human readable form, and the other is potentially importing that data into dashboard. I did find some info on the rest API (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_api.html#resource-types ) but I can''t make any sense of the output from it. Thanks.

I''m in the process of refactoring some code and getting it ready for 3.0 in the process. I''m trying to better modularize things as well. I''ve got a general tomcat module, but I also have a number of tomcat related things that only apply to one class of appserver we have. What would be the best way of handling these? Should I create a module, say, teamname_tomcat

Hi, I have been working on a new puppet code formatter for Geppetto for some time, and it is now starting to work quite well. The plan is to release it in Geppetto 3.0. If you want to, you can help by sending "formatting puzzles" - i.e. "given input x, produce formatted result y". I am esp. looking for code where it is impossible to follow "the style guide" -

I am using puppet 2.7.14 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have the following gems: *** LOCAL GEMS *** diff-lcs (1.1.3) hiera (0.3.0) hiera-puppet (0.3.0) metaclass (0.0.1) mocha (0.12.1) puppet-lint (0.1.13) puppetlabs_spec_helper (0.2.0) rake (0.9.2.2) rspec (2.11.0) rspec-core (2.11.1) rspec-expectations (2.11.2) rspec-mocks (2.11.1) rspec-puppet (0.1.3) When I run "rake help" I get the

I have a module located at /etc/puppet/environments/test/modules/ruby. I n this I have a manifests folder with two .pp files - init.pp and gemInstall.pp. In one of my node def files I have: include ruby ruby::gemInstall { ''someGem-version.gem'': path => ''/path/to/agent/local/gem/repo'', } ruby::gemInstall is a define, and it has some logic to get around

Hi... I''ve been trying to set up boolean values in Hiera, but with no luck. For example, I''m using puppetlabs-haproxy module, and this is a code snippet: class haproxy ( $manage_service = true, ... ) inherits haproxy::params { ... if $manage_service { } } Now, this is how I set up values in hiera: haproxy::manage_service: false But, it seems that

When I run "puppet resource user <ldadpuser>" I get a resource definition back for that user. However, when I run "puppet resource user" I do NOT see <ldapuser> in the list. Is this intended behavior? Is there a way to get a list of all users, whether they are ldap or local? This node is running puppet 2.7.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 against a 2.7.19 master on Ubuntu

I''ve got a single puppet master (2.7.19 + facter 1.6.11) controlling a number of nodes (2.7.17 + facter 1.6.8-10). On all of thse, fact absed variables work as expected (such as $::operatingsystem and $::fqdn). However, on my puppet master, when I run ''puppet agent --test'' all fact based variables are combing back as empty strings. For example. I have a line in a

Hello, I''ve something strange : When I modify my hierarchy in my hiera.yaml, it can take up to several hours, for the modification to work. eg : I create a subdir in my hieradata, move all the concerned files into, modify my hiera.yaml > from : > :hierarchy: > - %{operatingsystem} > to : > :hierarchy: > - *os/*%{operatingsystem} > but the changes

Hiera was properly working in my environment. But puppet was looking at old version even when I have the latest hiera gem installed. So I could''nt use json backend. But puppet is not looking at my latest hiera gem. Not sure when went wrong here. Scenario: I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0

Hi, I''m using Puppet 3.2.1 and heavily relying on hiera data bindings. I have the following situation: class software ( $my_content = undef, ) { file { ''/path/to/file'': content => $software::my_content, } } in hieradata/software.yaml (hiera.yaml seems ok): software::my_content: template(''mymodule/myfile.erb'') With this configuration I

I''m using Dashboard 1.2.10 on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system, and Puppet 2.7.19 When I do an inventory search, I get a blank screen. In the logs, I found the following: Processing NodesController#search (for X.X.X.X at 2012-10-05 08:44:57) [GET] Parameters: {"action"=>"search", "controller"=>"nodes",

Here''s one I learned: I originally had # Ensure /etc/hosts contains the basics host { "${fqdn}": host_aliases => $hostname, ip => $ipaddress, } And thru some trial and error, got down to this (which puppet-lint does not gripe about) # Ensure /etc/hosts contains the basics host { $fqdn: host_aliases => $hostname, ip => $ipaddress, }

Hi. I''m getting lots of warning like this one from puppet-lint: WARNING: line 67 has more than 80 characters Now, I don''t like warnings, so any idea how should I rewrite this line for example, to void the warning? package {''rpmforge-release'': ensure => ''0.5.2-2.el6.rf'', provider => ''rpm'', source =>

Hi! I''m a newbie in Puppet with some Chef experience. Now trying to convert my pet project from Chef to Puppet. When I start a Tomcat is takes some time (several seconds). I need to wait a line "Server startup in" in Tomcat''s log before proceeding. Here is a way which I used in Chef:

Hello Everyone, I am fairly new to puppet and I would like to run som unit tests. I hope rspec is the right tool for it. Unfortunately, after setting it up, when I try to execute it I receive the following error: Failures: 1) helloworld Failure/Error: it { should include_class(''helloworld'') } Puppet::Error: Error converting value for param

I''m setting up a dev / test environment using a couple of Ubuntu 12.04 VMs. I have puppet installed on one of them, and am trying to get it to sync against itself to get certain things in place to distribute with the nodes. However, I am having some issues. # puppet agent --test info: Creating a new SSL key for puppet-local-master err: Could not request certificate: getaddrinfo: Name

Hi all, I''ve been looking at a potential problem, as documented here: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/19241 To do with a leak within the KahaDB persistence layer of ActiveMQ. Specifically, there are reports of the db.data file growing unbounded: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3956 I''m hoping to find out information from other PuppetDB users to see if this is

Hello all, I''m using puppet to deploy my codebase from GIT. I have everything working, but i currently don''t have any way to check to make sure there is actually something TO deploy before it goes through the entire process of deploying the code. I want to create a conditional that only re-deploys the code if the revision actually changed. So far, I can have it as part of
