My custom external nodes script sets the environment variable, but Puppet ignores it. For testing, I have a manifest that deploys this template to a file: environment = <%= environment %> The output from my external nodes script: --- classes: - devhost environment: development parameters: memcached_memory: ''32'' But running "puppetd --test" results in the

Hi, I''m looking to find a way to get the target filename inside a template. (e.g. if I have file {"/tmp/foo": content => template("foo")} I want to have a variable represent "/tmp/foo" inside the template. I''ve already tried using file, scope etc, but looking at the code, it doesn''t seems that i can access the filename inside the

When I say busybox it''s actually VMware ESX server which seems to use busybox (which I guess is the case a number of other software appliances) . Reason for wanting to install puppet is to run the cli tools to create nightly vmware snapshots. I''m happy to give it a go (and add the docs to the wiki) but I''m not too sure at this stage how big a task this might be and what,

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 All, I''m aware of the vim/emacs extension, any one knows about enscript or similar support? (it would be great to have syntax highlighting in trac for example).

Hi all. We have a bunch of RHEL servers running Puppet. They are also connected to our Red Hat Satellite server. Currently we don''t have any master documentation system that stores all relevant information (i.e. type of server, hardware info, linux configuration, etc) about the servers. So what I''d like to do is implement some sort of system that can hold all this information.

Hello, I ran into this problem today, I am trying to implement "One click installation", I followed foreman howtos and set up the pre-requisites accordingly. However, when I click on "Build" button, I get the following errors in the foreman''s console and another error in the web interface indicating that the installation failed. Any ideas? *"PuppetCA: SSL/CA or

Hello, I am not sure if I trigger a bug and if so it could also be in ruby sqlite3 backend. However, maybe I do something totally wrong. I have the following part in puppet.conf: [master] storeconfigs = true dblocation = /var/lib/puppet/state/clientconfigs.sqlite3 dbadapter = sqlite3 Now every time a client (agent in puppet speak) is run I get one more connection to the

I was using Puppet 0.24.8 and now upgrade the puppet server and client both to 0.25.4 (on 1 machine i.e. server and client), but i am facing some problems. While testing, some of the configs which were/are running fine on older version generates error here; for instance, i have defined the FileSource path in ''/etc/puppet/fileserver.conf'' [myFileSrc] path

Hello, I have enabled summary emails from foreman and set up a cron job which sends me periodic summary emails. However, the mail''s content is sort of plain text. Now this is more like a feature request rather than a problem, I am wondering if we could use some kind of HTML template and pass the values through this HTML template and then mail the output as a summary email to the

We have successfully installed puppet on a CentOS Server, but I am battling with a deployment. It has to do with grid software. The repository gets created, then begins installation. The problem is that it just hangs - no errors, no network activity. I can see puppet is running, but nothing it being updated. Any pointers ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

As I sit here staring at my manifests (and pondering a module to control Glassfish), I''m pondering the best way to do a first-run of puppet to get the initial repositories and puppet configuration downloaded. My theory is that I''ll modify rc.local (or replace firstboot-tui, we don''t use it with automated builds) to run puppetd twice - once to request the certificate,

Hi, When starting puppet on a new machine, (or when the $vardir/lib is empty) puppet will not run the facts, it will only copy them. on the second time puppet runs, it works quiet well: on the client its defined: [main] pluginsync = true pluginsource = puppet://$server/plugins plugindest = $vardir/lib/puppet factpath = $vardir/lib/puppet/facter [puppetd] factsync = true I also tried with

Hello, I try config puppet with foreman frontend. Into puppetmasterd I create modules "test" and create init.pp: # Create "/tmp/testfile" if it doesn''t exist. class test_class { file { "/tmp/testfile": ensure => present, mode => 644, owner => root, group => root } } Configure nodes in site.pp and import

I''m having difficulty getting my head around some CA issues My client has: [puppetd] ca_server=puppetca.mydomain.com and puppet resolves to a different machine. when puppet connects, it requests a signature from puppetca.mydomain.combut then on the next pass fails with the following: err: Could not retrieve catalog: Certificates were not trusted: SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0

Hi All, In my companies environment, we have multiple sites in multiple geographic locations, sometimes with high latency between the sites. I''m trying to come up with a solution that could provide puppet infrastructure to all sites nodes. ----a few assumptions--- - puppet manifest / configuration is fetched from a centralized version control system. - store db is needed (ssh keys,
