Hello! In my puppet configuration I need to get some data from database. Ie.: I''ve got information about my all hosts in db - thier name, mac addresses, ip addresses, what to backup from this host etc. For now it''s just .xml file, but it could be sql db, or ldap directory. Then, using this small "database", I want to generate configuration using puppet - ie.:

Does anyone have a technique for performing an exec the first time puppetd runs but then reverting to refreshonly => true state for subsequent runs? The basic idea is: file { "/etc/foo": notify => Exec["bar"] } exec { "bar": command => "Do stuff to /etc/foo", refreshonly => true } Should I use a fact that is unset based on a

Hi, For the past week, I have been trying to figure out the best way to do package management with Puppet on an Ubuntu system. I have studied many solutons I found on the web, but none of them seem to do exactly what I want. Among other things, I have tried everything that is discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/af7349171a5821a4/db96b809c97f6006 but

Hello! I''ve written custom function split - it''s located in modules/common/ plugins/puppet/parser/functions/split.rb and contains: module Puppet::Parser::Functions newfunction(:split, :type => :rvalue) do |args| str=args[0] regex=args[1] idx=args[2] out=str.split(/#{regex}/) if out.is_a? Array out[idx] else "" end

Hello! I''ve got question - how to use ssh_autorized_key as a virtual resource? I''ve got bunch of users and ssh_authorized_key virtual resources, but only users gets to the target system - ssh keys not... I write something like: class admins { @user { "username": ... } @ssh_authorized_key { "username": ensure => present, key => "...",

Hello!

Hello! I''m newbie to puppet but I like it a lot :) I''m still trying to figure out how to write good manifests. And my problem is like this: I''ve got class samba-server - I''ve got there all settings I need for samba to behave properly in my network. I include it in nodes- definition on servers. Then I''d like to define shares - diffierent on each

Hello! My problem is - puppet is not creating users... I''ve got class: class admins { @user { "graf0": ensure => present, uid => 1500, comment => "Full name", home => "/home/graf0", managehome=> true, shell => "/bin/bash", password => ''SOMEVALIDSHADOWPW'', tag => admin } } Then, in have

Hi. I wonder if it is possible to use more complex data structures in templates than simple variables and arrays? I have been trying nested arrays, as well as nested arrays and hashes, but nothing seems to work (more specifically, nested arrays seem to be flattened into a single array). Having only simple variables and arrays is a little limiting. Something like the Perl-based Template Toolkit

Hello! I''m trying to solve small problem - linux server AND windows clients AND managing this using puppet :) As far as I know puppet don''t work under windws, but I''m still using it on linux side. And I need some information from windows machines - ie.: info about what should I backup from each one. Of course one solution is to port puppet to windows - but for

As everyone probably realizes, I''m getting swamped with incoming problems and tickets and I still need help triaging the tickets. James Turnbull has volunteered to help some, but I think we need more than one person. We''ve had a few people step in once or twice, but I''d like to be able to depend on Unreviewed tickets getting handled by someone else, rather

Hi, I am about to spend one week of my holidays with transfering our (about 20 clients) NT4 domain to a AD DC one. We are running a samba NT4 PDC on debian buster which is offering dns (bind9) and dhcp (isc-dhcpd), too. I have an older server where I can play with an AD DC setup. If I see I won't make it in a week, I would like to be able to return as smooth as possible to the present

dear All, I'm facing this routing problem, the setup is actualy part of ltsp, but I think this problem is Centos-specific. The server is a Dell Poweredge R210. The install is standard 6.4, updated. I have one nic facing the public internet: vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1 DEVICE=em1 BOOTPROTO=none HWADDR=d4:ae:52:c1:28:2b NM_CONTROLLED=no ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet

This was a fun one to track down... I was trying to use the append_if_no_such_line script from the wiki and it was working fine EXCEPT when I threw a notify at it. The notify appears to completely ignore both unless and onlyif within the exec for some reason. If I put the same test in the actual command line, it works fine. Example: unless => "/bin/grep -Fqe ''$line''

I have the following test case: file { sendmail-conf: path => "/etc/mail/${fqdn}.mc", owner => "root", group => "wheel", mode => 0644, links => follow, source => "puppet:///sendmail/${hostname}.mc" } $mail_dir = "/etc/mail" $cf_dir = "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/" exec { build-conf: command => "/usr/bin/m4

hello: i currently am using Puppet to run some commands in a sequence. there are two sequences of exec resources. we found that we cannot use require => Exec and it does not work at all as expected. here is some sample code. exec { "exec-AAA": command => "/bin/true", returns => 0, notify => Exec["exec-BBB"], } exec { "exec-BBB":

I''m using puppet through Vagrant to manage my dev VM, and as part of that I have a few database grants that I run after creating users, but when I subsequently run vagrant up or provision these grants fail (because of some changes I make to the mysql config after they have been created.) I''m using database_grant to execute the grants, but there doesn''t seem to be a
