similar to: Multiple file path for single module in the fileserver.conf

We keep our puppet configuration in a revision control system and are trying to facilitate developers using the same modules as production/ staging servers. We define a variable ($servergroup) as test/staging/production and use fileserver defaults from hostname to servergroup to generic. The hostname and $servergroup versions need to be confidential. We have modules specific to an application,

Hi, I need to define the hostclass with special character for ex: "swift::proxy-ring" I have tried following ways but not worked: 1) hostclass :swift::proxy-ring do 2) hostclass ''swift::proxy-ring'' do 3) hostclass "swift::proxy-ring" do When I am using the 2 and 3 options it is giving following erroe: undefined method `[]'' for Class:Class at

Warning - Puppet newby here. I am trying to set up a puppetmaster 3.3.2 and have run into a snag right out of the box. I want to add a new directory to modulepath= in /etc/puppet/puppet.conf So I added the following line in the [main] header modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules:/opt/our-repo/puppetmaster/modules And populated new new directory with modules I have written. I then run puppet

Hi, My puppet master don''t want to start anymore. Any idea ?

Hi there, Just started using Puppet since yesterday, so a totally newbie question. I tried to search the answer by myself but none of the suggestions actually worked. This is how my "modules" is laid: |-- modules | |-- mySudo | | |-- files | | | `-- sudoers | | `-- manifests | | `-- init.pp The file(s), that I want to send to the client machines, is in the

i would like to use the module puppet-lvm and would like to pass values to it. I have it setup properly as a module but I can''t for the lfe of me get it to take any values that I put in my baseconfig.pp in my home folder. like shouldn''t something like this work?? puppet-lvm {''setvolume'': vg => ''myvg'', pv =>

Hi, I''m getting this message "Could not request certificate: No route to host - connect(2)" when I''m trying to connect my pclient to pmaster. I checked my hostnames for both the pclient and the pmaster: [root@pclient etc]# hostname -f pclient.domain [root@pmaster etc]# hostname -f pmaster.domain I tried requesting for certificate: [root@pclient etc]# puppetd --server

Hi! I''m trying to set password for a user. I do the following: user { "username": password => ''*'', } And when I run puppet agent nothing happens. The password remains the same. But if I create a new user which doesn''t exist yet, the password is set without any problems. Is this a normal behaviour of ''user'' type? --

Dear all, I have this line: <% $c_repo.split('','').each_with_index do |repo, i| %> in one of my template files and on the target node I''m getting this error: err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Failed to parse template zmfs/zmfs_prob.erb: private method `split'' called for nil:NilClass Any idea what am I missing?

Hopefully I''m just missing something simple, but I''m having trouble getting just the absolute bare-bones puppet set up on a new, clean Solaris 10 install. When I try to run: /opt/csw/bin/puppetd --verbose --no-daemonize --server puppet.mydomain.com I just get: err: Could not create resources for managing Puppet''s files and directories in sections [:main, :agent,

Hi. Is there any way to make puppet run a particular module first before another module is run. For example, I''m using the augeas resource type in one of the modules. But libaugeas-ruby1.8 is not installed in the client machine. So when the catalog is run, I get the following error: Could not find a default provider for augeas. So I built another module that will install the

Hi all, I have no problem with creating ssh keys for users, but as soon as I specify ''options'', puppet keeps repeating and replacing the key with an identical key. I have written the various options in various formats, like one big strings, as an array, with double quotes or single quotes, etc, etc (see examples below), but the issue stays as a string ... @authorizedkey {

unfortunately, we keep getting this warns into the system log by puppet masters: " [...] Unrecognised escape sequence ''\<CHAR>'' in file <PATH> [...] " but then everything works fine; also, without using escapes, catalogs dont work on agents. What can we do to avoid these kind of errors in master syslogs? Please ,let us know ASAP and tell us if this

Hi all, I have been working on a configuration of a Masterless configuration on Windows. I am able to get individual jobs to run like: puppet apply <path to my puppet .pp file> However, I would like to spin up the Vagrant box off a base VM, and have a puppet manifest file in a location where puppet knows to look and provision based off that file. The obvious place seems to be

Hi, all. I''m not familiar with puppet itself and want to know that this is possible or not.. As I know, puppet client updates all files from server without regard to the files are old or new.. But, I think that puppet client should update the files only when the target files from server are new.. so is there any option to do this? Thanks... -- You received this message because you

What does this message mean: [root@pirates puppet]# rm -rf /var/lib/puppet/ssl/ [root@pirates puppet]# puppet cert --version 2.6.3 [root@pirates puppet]# puppet cert notice: Signed certificate request for ca notice: Rebuilding inventory file Invalid method to apply It seems to have created the ca and other things just fine.

A little while back I asked how to make puppet not report on a resource.. and was shown the loglevel metaparam: Quoting bellman@nsc.liu.se: There is a metaparameter called ''loglevel''. If you set that to something lower than "notice" (i.e. either "info" or "debug"), then Puppet won''t report that it applied the resource... So I made my

Hi there, when I do changes to my Puppet catalog files it takes some time between these changes are picked up by the clients, even in manual mode. That makes testing with "puppetd --test" quite hard because it can often be up to a couple of minutes for the changes be served out. Can I somehow flush the puppet master cache or from the client force the reload of actual current files

I''m looking for a way to run more than one puppetmaster on the same server under passenger. Most of the puppet CPU load is waiting for the catalogs to compile. This also seems to be mostly what takes large amounts of RAM. I have storedconfigs on. I want to be able to move the fileserver to a different pool of puppetmaster processes. Is there an easy way to tell the client, either in

Hi, I have a problem with running puppet with hiera based data. I am trying to cleanup user accounts on a range of servers (to have the same uid/gid). When I create existing account but with different uid/gid it doesn''t change files group ownership so I need to run a script which cleanups after cleanup ;-) I use the following code: --- :backends: - yaml :hierarchy: -
