Hi. I''ve been trying to develop a module for managing Cobbler from puppet. So, I need a custom type - cobblerdistro, which will fetch ISO from http, unpack it at desired destination and register distro with Cobbler. I have one issue with ensure => absent situation. First of all, here is my type: <code> # cat type/cobblerdistro.rb Puppet::Type.newtype(:cobblerdistro) do @doc

My issue may be related to this bug: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13858 "Custom types in environments require loading into master''s libdir" However, now I''m not so sure, This was working previously with a given client. However, after trying on a fresh client, it''s failing with: err: Could not run Puppet configuration client: Could not find a

Hi, could this be a bug? I have this code: $mypath = get_module_path(''ssh'') if generate("${mypath}/scripts/generate_host_keys.sh", "${keys_dir}/${::fqdn}/ssh") { notify {''something'':} include ssh::server::keys } generate_host_keys.sh script generates ssh host keys for ssh daemons, and stores them in private section. Those files

Recently, the issue of copying file modes from remote sources was discussed on the puppet-users mailing list[1], although it equally applies to owner and group. One issue is what permissions to apply to newly created files when none are specified? Historically, Puppet has always copied the permissions from the file source to the newly created one. However, this causes problems on Windows[2]

Hi. I want to run script which is distributed with my module, but the problem is I have to then hardcode the path to the script in the generate function call, for example: generate("/etc/puppet/environments/${environment}/modules/mymodule/scripts/myscript") But what If some other site uses other path to their modules, or doesn''t use environments at all? Is it possible

Hi, I''m using PuppetDB with builtin backend, haven''t switched yet to postgresql, and I''m starting to see decrease in performance of my agent runs. I use PuppetDB solely because of exported resources support. How soon should I think about moving to PostgreSQL? How many clients does my master need to serve, so that PuppetDB in it''s default installation,

Hi, I''m trying to program custom type for managing Couchbase buckets. Problem is that every RW operation to Couchbase cluster (creating, deleting, resizing bucket) requires admin privileges (username/password). Do you have any suggestion how should I pass the username/password to provider? If I make it a param, then every resource of type ''couchbucket'' will need to

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

Hi chaps, Since overnight, my puppetmaster has been crashing every now and then (it has crashed about 5 times this morning). We upgraded to puppet 3.2.2 about a week ago but the problems only started this morning. There was nothing in the logs so I ran it in debug mode and captured this: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/methodhelper.rb:14: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.7

Hi. I have an interesting use case. OSSEC is security tool based on server-client architecture. Server generates keys for agents, and every agent has different key. Now I want to distribute these keys via puppet. I''ve come accross hiera and installed it, and it works superbly, but how to store per-node key in hiera? This is my idea: hiera,yaml: --- :hierarchy: -

Hi. I have the following facts available: # facter | grep oper operatingsystem => CentOS operatingsystemrelease => 6.2 Now, if I wish to use conditionals on these facts, I have to do it like this: case $operatingsystem {} case $::operatingsystemrelease {} I''m puzzled as to why can''t I just use $operatingsystemrelease, and what do these two semicolons mean? Thank

I am trying to write a define type which will use an array but in the meantime have an argument pass to it that sets a case. See for example : define link_files ($linkcase) { case $linkcase { "var" : { file { "${name}_exelink" : path => "/var/log/puppet/${name}_log", ensure => link,

Module on forge: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/apache Code and issue tracker: https://bitbucket.org/jsosic/puppet-cobbler Comments are welcome, hope somebody finds it useful. I''m very happy with it so far :D The reason I''m posting it is that couple of people asked me about publishing this module while I was in a process of developing it, so If those people

Hello, Let''s consider the scenario when a client node in a puppet environment gets compromised. In case some of the puppet modules make decisions based on agent facts, these modules are potentially exposed to abuse from the malicious puppet agent. For example, if a class has: if $some_fact == ''some value'' { # deploy some configuration } then the compromised node

Deprecation notice: Resource references should now be capitalized on line 101 in file /etc/puppet/manifests/templates/basenode.pp This is the specific line of code: realize (users::useraccount[hiera(''users'')]) When I capitalize Users, I get the following error: Error 400 on SERVER: Could not parse for environment production: Syntax error at

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 =>

Dear readers, When I have made a change to a template, class or file, is it then possible to push this change to the node(s), so they get the changes now? I would like to be able to push the change from the master, and not have to login to each node and pull. Is that possible?

I''m currently trying to create icinga module and the icinga-web and icinga-idoutils-libdbi-mysql from rpmforge store the initial sql file in version numbered directory(/usr/share/doc/icinga-web-1.7.2/~~~). So, I try to determine the version number from the yum info like as below, but that repository installed after my yum module gets work done. Is there any ways to fetching custom

Hi. I encountered a following problem, if I state for example: package{"aspell-en": ensure => absent, } package{"aspell": ensure => absent, } I get error in logs because of dependencies. It seems that puppet uses ''yum'' for installation on CentOS and ''rpm -e'' for removal of packages, so it cannot handle this kind of dependencies:
