I am looking at migrating a set of servers from cfengine management to
puppet management. For the most part, the move has been relatively straight
forward, and I am pleased with the way that puppet's modules have made some
of the things I did in cfengine2 much cleaner. There is one thing though
that was relatively easy in cfengine that I am not seeing a good way to
achieve with puppet.
In cfengine I defined a variable serverlist that was essentially an array of
hostnames. I then had the following copy block
copy:
somehost::
/path/to/file/that/updates/nightly
server=${serverlist}
dest=/var/www/repository/${this}
mode=644 owner=apache group=wheel
which caused the one host in the class somehost to copy the file from each
server in the array serverlist to the repository.
**
The closest I see in puppet would be to list each server source as a
different file entry in a class.
Something like (psuedo code)
class pullfile {
File { ensure => file, owner => apache, group => wheel, mode => 644, }
file {
host1: source => "puppet://host1/path/to/file" path =>
"/var/www/repository/host1";
host2: source => "puppet://host2/path/to/file" path =>
"/var/www/repository/host2";
}
}
and have puppetmaster on each host.
Is there a better way?
Thanks!
Luke
