Re: [Puppet Users] puppetlabs-apache n00b question - docroot value for fully proxied virtual host?

[Paul BH]

Thanks for this guys; sorry I hadn't seen these responses till now...

I'd gladly do a PR, but what would be the situation when its not required? 
Is it if @proxy_dest or @proxy_pass are set?

Secondly; my setup (running a jenkins box behind apache) also needs these 
directives set:

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

and ProxyPass with the option nocanon:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ nocanon

Should I just add these to the same PR?

Heh...I'm leaning more towards the native code route, but this is
definitely something we should work out on the puppet-dev list before we
actually proceed down a path. Regardless, in the meantime "apply" will work
how it always has.

The language will remain in ruby for a while yet (the puppet-server uses
JRuby to run the puppet ruby code), and even after the interpreter gets
reimplemented in a faster language, ruby will be available for extensions.
It would simply be too much of a change to drop ruby and drop all of the
custom code and extensions that everyone has worked so hard on.

What *might* be happening very soon is dropping rack and webrick support
and moving entirely to the puppet-server. It provides a much simpler setup,
better performance, and more controlled environment for us to target.

"Puppet apply" will be sticking around. The exact way in which it will work
isn't completely clear yet. There are several possibilities from requiring
the jvm on all nodes that run puppet apply to changing apply to use a
"compile server" to actually run manifests or possibly reimplementing the
interpreter in a non-jvm language and using JNI to make it available on the
puppet-server. My currently leaning is to implement the language in a jvm
language and requiring that a masterless setup has the jvm on the node.

Re: [Puppet Users] Announce: Puppet Server 0.2.0

I got to test it in one of my dev environments while I was at
Puppetconf and it was pretty awesome.
Looking forward to having the time to add it as an option to my puppet
management module.
I am intending on running it in my dev environment to help out with testing.

Tristan, both of those are correct errors. The space between the "File" and
the "['blah']" is an error because it makes it ambiguous about what was
intended. This happens because puppet doesn't require any statement
terminators (a semicolon in a lot of languages serves this purpose). So
this is ambiguous about whether you meant to have an expression of the File
type followed by creating an array or if you meant the File type
parameterized with the title 'blah', both could be valid.

In both of the cases that you have here, that error message is pretty
atrocious. The one with "slice" in it looks like it is dumping out some
sort of AST structures for some reason in the location slot of the message.
The error about the "non-productive construct" is a little trickier since
the error is about the class, but is caused by the comma. I think you are
right that it should show the location of the comma rather than the class.

Can you file both of these as bugs in the PUP project and include what
version of puppet you are using?

Re: [Puppet Users] Can Exec notify File?

[Christopher Wood]

Not possible in the way you've phrased it. If you're trying to only manage a 
file if something is or is not true you might look into custom facts.

https://docs.puppetlabs.com/facter/2.2/custom_facts.html

Then you do something like:

if $::myfact == 'yes' {
  file { '/path/to/file':
content => "exists\n",
  }
}

Re: [Puppet Users] Manage a single file (directory) from multiple modules

[aarb000]

John,

I got it to work with the array.  I had to remove the base class in your 
code otherwise that folder gets declared multiple times.  After I did that, 
it pretty much worked as expected.

I like the idea of the loop and looked up future parser.  I couldn't find 
any examples that I was comfortable with so again, the array is great for 
now.  I will revisit this thread when I have a better grasp of puppet 
overall as I feel you gave great advice and examples that for right now I 
am just not getting.  Thanks for your patience with me on this as I learned 
a lot in the process.

[Puppet Users] Can Exec notify File?

[Ellick Johnson]

I need to have an Exec command notify a File block only to run if the Exec 
is true. Is that possible?

  exec { "check_version":
command => "/bin/echo 'versions differ'",
unless  => "/usr/bin/test `/bin/cat VERSION.txt` = \"1.0\"",
notify  => File["/app_dir"],
  }

  # create app_dir only if versions differ
  file { /app_dir:
recurse   => true,
require   => [Exec["check_version"],
source=> "puppet:///modules/app/versions/1.0",
subscribe => Exec["check_version"],
  }

Is this possible?

Re: [Puppet Users] "Appending Assignment" (+=) in 3.7/4.0

[Dan White]

Follow the link:  (http://links.puppetlabs.com/remove-plus-equals)

there are other ways of achieving the same goals:

Translations for $a += $b when used with

Strings: use interpolation (e.g. {{$a = "$a$b" }}).

Arrays: in the future parser (4x language) simply use + (e.g. $a = $a + $b), in 
the current parser (3x language) use a custom function such as concat from 
stdlib (e.g. $a = concat($a, $b)) (WARNING: some versions of stdlib's concat 
will modify the arrays causing this to change the outer scope $a).

Hashes: in the future parser (4x language) simply use + (e.g. $a = $a + $b), in 
the current parser (3x language) use a custom function such as merge from 
stdlib (e.g. $a = merge($a, $b)).

$ssh_users = ['myself', 'someone']

Again: the checks I quoted are against $zabbix::params::client_server, 
whose value does not depend on your Hiera data.  If that's what you 
intended then well and good, but it seems a bit pointless.  If those are 
*not* the failing checks you meant, then please point out the ones you did 
mean.  My effectiveness at predicting the errors in code I cannot analyze 
is much less than my effectiveness at spotting errors in code that I can 
analyze.

In any event, I don't see anywhere in the code on GitHub that you actually 
refer to variable $::zabbix::client_server, so I am uncertain how you could 
know whether it is getting the right value.

It sounds like you have a misconception.  By recording the specified data 
in Hiera, you provide a value to bind to class ::zabbix's parameter 
$::zabbix::client_server.  If you declare class ::zabbix without specifying 
a value for that parameter (e.g.

include '::zabbix'

or

class { '::zabbix': }

) then $::zabbix::client_server will take the Hiera value.  If there were 
no such value available from Hiera then $::zabbix::client_server would take 
its default value instead ($::zabbix::params::client_server).  *In no event 
is the value of class variable $::zabbix::params::client_server ever 
different from the one with which it is initialized in the body of class 
::zabbix::params.*



I've had a look through the Puppetlabs NTP code and it doesn't look like

> in Hiera beyond what I have already done.
>


"Overwrite" sounds like you think something already set is being changed.  
That is not the case.  (Did you perhaps mean "override" instead?)  Anyway, 
your Hiera data look fine, and your class ::zabbix looks fine.  I think 
you're struggling with a scope issue, not an Hiera issue.

Hi,

no need, it's really simple.

1. locate the file `apply.rb` in your installation of Puppet (under
puppet/application/ in a Ruby library location).
2. Insert this line:
https://github.com/ffrank/puppet/commit/587062e1f157c3b6eb08242c99c747c24082d736#diff-3acace79a768858f1f8964ecdb582af2R201

This solution (or workaround?) has not yet been blessed by the dev team,
but it should get you running.

HTH,

Pluginsync will sync all the //lib/facter/* (custom 
fact implementations).  These all WILL be used by the client, though the 
resulting facts might or might not be afterward referenced by the server.  
It will also sync custom types and providers from 
//lib/puppet/type/* and 
//lib/puppet/provider/*.  Whether or not the types 
and providers are used by the client depends on the contents of its 
catalog, but that isn't known yet (even by the master) when plugins are 
synced, as it may depend on the custom facts.  Manifests are not synced, 
but they are not useful to clients (in master / agent mode), and anyway 
they are not plugins.  All of this applies to EVERY module in the 
applicable module path.

If you have not already done so, you should consult the documentation for 
distributing plugins 
.

You can if you turn on the future parser, but there's an old-school way to 
approach the problem that might actually be better in your case, because it 
would be reusable across multiple application modules.  The old-school way 
revolves around Puppet's behavior when an array is provided as a resource 
title 
,
 
which is to declare a separate resource for each element of the array.  
When the declared resource is of a defined type, it's body is evaluated 
once for each title, which yields a pretty good analog of iteration.  
Example:

define my_module::mac_preference_file ($application) {
  include my_module::mac_preferences_base

  file { "/System/Library/User 
Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/${title}":
ensure => 'file',
owner => 'root',
group => 'wheel',
mode => '0600'
source => "puppet:///modules/${application}/Preferences/${title}"
  }
}


# Manages the base preferences directory.
# Must be a class so that it can be declared multiple times..
class my_module::mac_preferences_base {
  # Note: not recursive.  In this version, all managed contents
  # are managed by separate File resources.
  file { "/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences":
ensure => 'directory',
owner => 'root',
group => 'wheel',
mode => '0600'
  }
}


That might be used like so:

class some_application {
  $my_preference_files = [ 'some.plist', 'another.plist', 'random.plist' ]

  my_module::mac_preference_file { $my_preference_files:
application => 'some_application'
  }

  # ...
}

Yes, the approach depends on creating an array of all the source 
directories from which to sync files into the master Preferences folder.  
You cannot manage the Preferences folder more than once, but you *can* give 
it multiple sources.

No, it is a class.  That's what "class" instead of "define" at the 
beginning means.  There's no point to making it a defined type, because any 
attempt to declare it (as a resource) more than once will fail with a 
duplicate resource error.  Also, if you make it a class then you have the 
option of using automated data binding to assign the parameter value (via 
Hiera).

 

>  Should class mac_managed_preferences be defined
>


Well, yes.  Its definition is what I presented.  Do you mean to ask whether 
it should be *declared*?  Also yes.  A class definition by itself does 
nothing for you.  In this case, you make an array of the names of all the 
application modules whose preferences you want to manage, and assign that 
array as the class's parameter.  If you do that via Hiera and automated 
data binding, then you can declare the mac_managed_preferences class as 
many times as you like, using the 'include' function.  If you use a 
resource-like class declaration, however, then it must not be evaluated 
more than once.

 

> or are we making a new class for each applications preferences (assuming

There is no variable in the class name.  The class has a parameter named 
$applications, but it is not part of the class name.  You are already 
supposing that there is a separate (and different) class for each managed 
application, however.  In fact, you 

[Puppet Users] Issue with rspec-puppet testing of roles/profiles module and class evaluation...

[Gavin Williams]

Afternoon all

I'm currently trying to add some rspec testing to some of our internal 
modules which are used in a roles/profiles style setup. 

Each of our products has got it's own module, which all pull in chunks of 
functionality from a base module. 

The issue I'm hitting is that when I try and spec test the product module, 
which attempts to use Glassfish module resources[1], with the base 
Glassfish class being included as part of a 'base::software::glassfish' 
class. 
I've tried adding a 'require base::software::glassfish' as a precondition 
to rspec, but still get failures... 

In order to make sure I wasn't doing anything daft, I've created a pair of 
very simple modules that are available on Github that model the product and 
base classes I'm trying to test. 
The modules are: rspec-deptest[2], which is effectively our product module, 
and rspec-deptest_base[3] which is our base module. 

The error I'm getting when trying to run *bundle exec rake spec *on the 
rspec-deptest module is here[4]. I'm also getting this error on travis[5].

Any pointers on what I could be doing wrong, or how I can make it work? 

Cheers in advance for any responses.

[Puppet Users] puppet as configurator for test farm

[Michael Cherkasov]

Hi all,

I need to configure a farm of test machines(linux, windows, macosx, 
solaris) for testing.
To prevent false test failure I need to turnoff screensavers, autoupdates,
install fake printers and so on.( it will testing of UI application)

But I didn't find modules that can do this, so the question is: does puppet 
suitable for this?

May be someone already resolved the same task and can point me to necessary 
docs, modules, scripts and so on.

Thanks,
Mikhail.

documentation present at puppetlabs.com.Would that be sufficient?

Also,it would be great if some resources or link can be provided.

Thanks,

Re: [Puppet Users] rspec test for augeas resource that also verifies the resulting content of the file?

[Johan De Wit]

Hi,

Augeas changes the file during the execution of the catalog on the node, 
so it cannot have any content in the catalo, and that is what 
puppet-rspec is testing.


the with_content test will always fail, because a content attribute is 
not available for the augeas resource


puppet describe -s  augeas

Parameters
--
changes, context, force, incl, lens, load_path, name, onlyif, returns,
root, show_diff, type_check

For rspec unit testing, one must keep in mind that you are testing the 
content of the catalog.

[Puppet Users] Re: Cannot set variables via Hiera for a module I've written

[Antoine Cotten]

Hi Danny,

You should 'include' your main class (zabbix) before, or even inside your 
sub-classes, else nothing tells you in which order they will be declared, 
and apparently classes like zabbix::client::service DO require the 
parameters set in your main class.

Something like that should work:
   
class zabbix::client::service inherits zabbix::params {   # ensure the main 
class is declared
  include ::zabix

  if ($client_startagents != '0' and $client_server == '') {fail("Your 
StartAgents cannot be greater than 0 or null when Server is also null. Set 
StartAgents to 0 or set Server.")  }
...

[Puppet Users] Count number of (collected) external resources

[Frederik Wagner]

Hi group,

is there a way to count the number of resources of a specific type
(with a specific tag) included in the catalog?

In more detail:
In a manifest I collect external resources like:
   External::Resource <<| tag == 'tagged_resource' |>>

Now I would like to know how many resources are actually collected, so
I would like to have/write a function
   $num_res =  count_resources( External::Resource, { 'tag' =>
'tagged_resource' } )
to be used in the rest of the manifest.

Is there a way to realize this in a custom function? I suppose there
is, but I'm missing the right API calls.

Thanks a lot for any hints in the right direction.

Bye
Frederik

Re: [Puppet Users] Generate Puppet manifiest from server

[Juan Sierra Pons]

Hi,

On the puppet27 Cookbook they talked about the cft tool (but I think
it has been deprecated)

More info can be found on this webpage:
http://fmtyewtk.blogspot.com.es/2011/01/porting-cft-to-debian.html

And on this gitorious.org repo:
https://gitorious.org/cft-debian/cft-debian/source/dd19c6e9f02ebdb58397fee1af96e4cfc4b0a5a8:README

"
This tool (cft, pronounced 'sift') follows a sysadmin as she makes changes
to the system. Its basic workings are inspired by Gnome's sabayon, a tool
that watches a user make configuration changes to their desktop and
collects them into a reusable bundle. Instead of the desktop though, cft is
focused on traditional system admins and how they maintain machines, mostly
with command line tools. Cft uses puppet[2] as its backbone for expressing
the configuration of a system, and for understanding in greater detail what
changes the admin has made to the system.
"

Hope it helps

Best regards
