Re: [Puppet Users] Best practices: client/server VS Git

We, for example, use a mixture of both in a software development project. All nodes are connected to the master to receive their basic configuration. But we have certain software on certain nodes which should only be updated on demand, so we use the puppet apply approach for this in addition to the standard configuration. HTH...

I don't care about the order, but it should always be the same. Otherwise, when you build a configuration file from a template, that file gets changed every time Puppet runs, because the directives are reordered.

[Puppet Users] Module and class names confusion
Hello everyone!
This may be a stupid question since i'm relatively new in Puppet, but I
haven't found an answer.
I have external module, named, for example, 'ntp' and my own module
'profile', which contains class with the same name. When i try to apply my
configuration, puppet says 'Could not find class profile::base::ntp'. What
am i doing wrong?
Example:
modules/profile/manifests/base/ntp.pp
class profile::base::ntp {
include ::ntp
# some specific code
}
modules/profile/manifests/base.pp
class profile::base {
include profile::base::ntp # -- error occurs here
}
I will be very grateful for any assistance.

The bottom line is basically that not only is what you are asking for not a supported use case, but it conflicts with existing documented behavior (reading a manifest from stdin when no manifest name is given). It is unlikely to be implemented in the requested form. Is there any way that this can get looked up again? You can certainly file a new ticket, referencing the existing, rejected one and asking for reconsideration. The user who filed (Redmine) ticket 10538 followed up with a suggestion to add a command-line option to specify that the desired start manifest should be obtained from puppet.conf.

Directly after running the agent I get the following message from yum (without modifying yum.conf or any of the .repo files in /etc/yum.repos.d/): # yum list installed YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file. Eg. $releasever is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet/ removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/$releasever/base/mirrorlist.txt Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base Prior to running the puppet agent, yum was working perfectly. I was able to fix the above problem by reinstalling the centos-release package, but even after doing so a 'yum list installed' and 'rpm -qa' listed the centos-release package as *the only package installed* (clearly others were installed but the db probably got corrupted). Restart the puppet agent, and the error with $releasever resumed, and centos-release was shown as not installed by both yum and rpm. Looking through the puppet agent log (/var/log/puppet/puppet.log), I only found this in the startup procedure: Thu Feb 20 14:26:50 -0800 2014 Puppet (notice): Caught TERM; calling stop Thu Feb 20 14:26:51 -0800 2014 Puppet (notice): Reopening log files Thu Feb 20 14:26:51 -0800 2014 Puppet (notice): Starting Puppet client version 3.4.2 Thu Feb 20 14:26:52 -0800 2014 /File[/var/lib/rpm]/ensure (notice): removed Thu Feb 20 14:26:52 -0800 2014 /File[/var/lib/yum]/ensure (notice): removed Thu Feb 20 14:26:55 -0800 2014 Puppet (err): Could not prefetch package provider 'yum': Execution of '/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/package/yumhelper.py' returned 1: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror So it looks like directly after the client starts, it removes(?) /var/lib/rpm and /var/lib/yum and then yum stops working again (with the same $releasever) error. Wow. The odd thing is that we have several other nodes that are having the exact same modules applied and experiencing zero issues, so something odd is going on with this particular node (which is also the master). Anyone experience anything like this or have any ideas what could be causing the puppet runs to basically destroy the yumdb? I have never heard of such behavior. The problem likely is not directly related to your manifests, because it looks like the agent is removing the rpm and yum databases before it starts applying the catalog. I would start by looking for differences between the puppet configuration files (puppet.conf) on the master and on a node that does not experience the problem. Focus on differences in the [main] and [agent] sections, if there are any. It is also possible that your Puppet installation is corrupted or compromised, though the likelihood of the latter seems remote. It is unfortunate that destruction of /var/lib/rpm will make those alternatives harder to evaluate.

Well, the first place to look for docs would be among PL's online facter
docs: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html.
What i want to do is the following:
On our machines we have the directory /work, There is a list of all
possible subdirectories, but no machine has all of them.
Depending on the existence of the subdirectories i have to create files.
Now all i need is a fact that gives me all subdirectories of /work but
only depth=1.
e.g.
/work
|_ Sub_a
|_ Sub_b
|_ Sub_b_c
I would only need Sub_a and Sub_b returned by the fact.
Does anyone know how to do it?
This shouldn't be too hard. Supposing you do it as a Ruby plugin, the Ruby
code might look something like this:
work_dirs.rb:
=
Facter.add('work_dirs') do
setcode do
begin
Dir.entries('/work').select {|entry| File.directory?(entry)
}.join(',')
rescue SystemCallError = not_a_directory
''
end
end
end
The fact value for your example would be 'Sub_a,Sub_b', which you would
need to split inside Puppet if you need them in array form. (Puppet and
Facter do not currently support arrary-valued facts.)

*start = /sbin/initctl start gamedeploy

DELAY=${game_deploy['delay']},*
*stop = '/sbin/initctl stop gamedeploy COMPONENT=backend',*
*status = '/sbin/initctl status gamedeploy COMPONENT=backend',*
*hasrestart = false,*
*subscribe =
[File['gamedeploy_init_script'],File['gamedeploy_script']],*
*require= [File['/var/log/deploy'],Account['deployment']],*
* }*
* service { gamedeploy-frontend:*
*name = 'gamedeploy',*
*ensure = running,*
*provider = upstart,*
*start = /sbin/initctl start gamedeploy
GAME=${game_deploy['title']} COMPONENT=frontend
ENVIRONMENT=${::environment} DELAY=${game_deploy['delay']},*
*stop = '/sbin/initctl stop gamedeploy COMPONENT=frontend',*
*status = '/sbin/initctl status gamedeploy COMPONENT=frontend',*
*hasrestart = false,*
*subscribe =

I have to get md5sum.exe to the machine somehow. The ARCHIVE module uses curl, rm, tar, unzip, ... Lots of unix tools. :-( Thanks, Andy. -- It's like shearing a pig – lots of screams but little wool.

This format makes changes a bit easier. For example, when you want to
remove one or more File(s) in Vim ('dd'). Last array element should end
with a comma:
requires = [
File[1],
File[2],
]

[Puppet Users] Using existing CA certificate for Puppet CA service.
Hi to all. I have CA with root certificate rootCA.pem, and intermediate CA certificate puppetRootCA.pem (signed by rootCA.pem) for Puppet infrastructure. I want that Puppet CA subsystem use certs and keys puppetRootCA.pem and puppetRootCA.key. In documentation written (in section Supported External CA Configurations ): These configurations are all-or-nothing rather than mix-and-match. When using an external CA, the built in Puppet CA service must be disabled and cannot be used to issue SSL certificates. Is it possible to use puppetRootCA.pem with enabled ca = true in puppet.conf? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] Using the user
Hello:
I've been able to add users and groups without any issue on a bunch of test
machines, but I'm wondering if there is a way to check if a password has
already been set for a user before overwriting it. Searching for common
words like 'user' and 'password' brings up a bazillion hits, and the type
reference page doesn't seem to have the functionality I want, so I thought
I'd post.
Here is how a user is created:
user { Joe:
ensure = 'present',
uid = '3657',
gid = '5002',
shell = '/bin/csh',
home= '/home/Joe',
managehome = 'true',
password= 'some_hash',
comment = 'Joe',
}
Now, if someone changes their password on that machine and I then update
the password file using puppet, then of course the password hash will be
overwritten. This is not the behavior I want -- I'd like the existing
password hash to remain unchanged if it is already there.
Is there any way to do this using the user type? Maybe I'm thinking about
this problem the wrong way? I'm a bit stuck.
Thanks,

[Puppet Users] Cannot see puppet master node in Dashboard
I've set up an open source puppet master on: open-master.company.local I've also set up the open source Dashboard running (seemingly) fine on port 3000. However, I do not see the puppet master listed in the nodes. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Puppet Users] Using the user
Common user authentication is a fairly common, solved problem. You'd probably
be better off setting up an ldap backend to pam or something than messing about
with passwords. There are any number of modules on the puppet forge to crib
from (search for ldap).

[Puppet Users] Arrays and case statements
So I have a bunch of linux servers in different groups. Each server's group
is defined as a custom fact. I want to set an array variable based on the
server's group membership, so I have code like this:
case $servergroup {
MAMMAL: { $foo = ['horse', 'cow', 'dog'] }
REPTILE: { $foo = ['gator', 'frog'] }
BIRD:{ $foo = ['finch', 'chicken'] }
}
This works fine. The problem is that now I have a server that needs to be
in two groups. I know I can convert a custom fact into an array like this:
$slist = split($servergroup, ',')
But I don't know how to have each value in the array be processed through
the case statement. I tried this (using the future parser):
each($slist) |$val| { case $val {
MAMMAL: { $foo = ['horse', 'cow', 'dog'] }
REPTILE: { $foo = ['gator', 'frog'] }
BIRD:{ $foo = ['finch', 'chicken'] }
}
}
But I just get an error.
(There's another issue, which is that I'll want the $foo array to append to
the previous value rather than overwrite, but I'll deal with that after
getting over this hurdle).
Is what I'm trying possible? Am I going about this totally the wrong way?
