I am trying to use the same hiera hash to create the mount point and mounts. (Would be nice if mount could create the mount points using 3.1.1) My plan was to define create_mount_points and use create_resources with the same hash, and just though away what I dont use.... maybe there is a better means? Here is the mount class: class fstab::mounts ( $config = undef ) { $defaults = {

Hi all, I''m interested pushing my user list out of my users manifest and into Hiera. Unfortunately I haven''t been able to get it to work the way I thought it would. The error suggests that perhaps create_resources cannot create virtual resources, but the docs I''ve read so far don''t address it. The class (in init.pp): class users { $system_users =

Dear puppetteers, I am having a philosophical question about parametrized classes. When building modules, one wants to be as flexible as possible, to try to target as many puppet flavors as possible. This is our target: - Foreman users, using foreman as an ENC with smart variables (or potentially any other ENC, but I would say this is the most widespread one). - Pure Puppet''s site.pp

Hi all, With the goal of making my code a little more DRY, I am trying to define resource parameters in an array of hashes, and then create defined resources from these array items. I am having trouble figuring out the syntax for accessing the hash values for the hash currently being worked on ("self?"). Here''s the code to make it clear: ##### Configuration arguments

I''m trying to use create_resources to create a series of files with semi-custom content based on a template. This is what I have: foo.conf.erb: Name "<%= name %>" WorkingDir "<%= working_dir %>" ... a bunch of static entries YAML: configs: config1: Name: app1 WorkingDir: /var/app1 config2: Name: app2 WorkingDir: /var/app2

Hello, I work for the CHTC (Center for High Throughput Computing) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. We utilize puppet for most of our configuration management. Currently we have a web application that performs the tasks of user account management. When a new user is registered with the application, the application does some very limited parsing of a puppet manifest that has

I am trying to add ability to add virtual users to the git://github.com/erwbgy/puppet-system.git module as I really want the ability to use virtual users and then combine that with "User <| group == ''x'' and group == ''y'' |>" way of realizing the users. This is much more flexible than what I can do with this module out of the box. Using the

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: -

Hi, This follows on a bit from the previous thread ''trouble with hiera and puppet defines'' [1] Up to now I''ve had a large file of virtual resources and then enabled them on demand on various services. The very standard. @metric{''1234: one => 1 two => [1,2] } @metric{''abcd'': one => a, two => [b,c] } and

Hi all! I''m trying to setup a puppet module for sudo that will write multiple files with separate data for each file, all dependent on the hiera hierarchy. Here''s the relevant portion of my hiera.yaml: > :hierarchy: > > - "datacenter/app/role/node/%{::clientcert}" > > - "datacenter/app/role/%{::server_role}" > > -

Hello All, I''ve run into an issue where an array that''s being passed into a defined type is being "flattened" when it''s inclosed in double quotes and I''m not sure how to get around this. This is happening a the pdxcat/amanda module and I''ve raised an github issues for this but wanted to query the community as a whole. The issue and my branch

If I have something like this in my node file: daemontools_service::setup { ''carbon-cache'': service_name => ''carbon-cache'', .... extra_envs => { "GRAPHITE_STORAGE_DIR" => "/mnt/statsd-data/graphite-storage" "SOMETHING_ELSE" =>

I''m having some issues trying to track down a problem I''m having parsing a simple template, using create_resources and Hiera. Here''s my setup (abridged): ../hieradata/settings.yaml: *global:* * variables:* * env: foo* * * *appSpecific:* * serverName: someServer* ../modules/test/manifests/init.pp: *class test {* * create_resources(test::variables,

Howdy: I need some help please to get hiera configuration data derived from YAML, thru puppet. I have studied Internet search results and puppet documentation on create_resources and custom defines but need a little help along. I can print out the YAML from variables, arrays, and, finally, hashes too from a puppet manifest. One thing that is stumping me is how to access from the custom define

Hello I''d love a bit of advice in terms of how I should best go about this. I am creating a bunch of vhosts, their definitions are stored in json (I''m using heira) that json file will be generated from data held on another server. I''m just using the puppetlabs apache module and create_resources to then generate all the vhosts and their directories etc. I''m

Does anyone have some examples of using this create_resources function, https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-create_resources, ? Based on the README example I can''t figure out exactly how to change from using defines to using this function. Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of create_resources...is it to replace defines, or is it to allow ENCs (for example) to use a define? Below

Hi all, We''ve recently started exploring the role / profile / component module described by Craig Dunn in his blog here: http://www.craigdunn.org/2012/05/239/ and discussed on the list the other day. As I was implementing this for a profile using the apache module, I realized that I could make another refinement to our approach by using

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

Hi folks, Is there a way to test the result of a hiera_hash() lookup in a manifest? I am trying to use hiera to do most of my configuration, like this for example: mysql::grants: ''user1@localhost'': privileges: - select_priv ''user2@localhost'': privileges: - select_priv - insert_priv - lock_tables_priv I have a wrapper

I have these three modules with the following structure: |-- modules | |-- create_resources | | |-- LICENSE | | |-- Modulefile | | |-- README | | |-- lib | | | `-- puppet | | | `-- parser | | | `-- functions | | | `-- create_resources.rb | | |-- spec | | | |-- spec.opts | | | |-- spec_helper.rb | | | `-- unit
