Re: [Puppet Users] File content misrecognised as checksum
The Puppet code is looping through dozens of domains, creating resources
for each, so downloading won't work unless I create some service that can
craft the right file from parameters in the URL. I've gone with the hack I
suggested above for now, that searches for files that should be updated and
puts them into position - it was only a few lines of shell script and runs
each hour. Just wondered when that feature from 2013 might get implemented
:-)
Thanks,
Iain.

I'd use the "checksum" and "checksum_value" parameters along with the
"source" parameter. That way the agent can determine if the file needs
updating without needing the full content in the catalog, and the agent can
download the source as needed, potentially from a regular file server, e.g.

[Puppet Users] File content misrecognised as checksum
I find myself needing to manage a file that has content that to Puppet
looks like a checksum. It isn't, but because Puppet sees any file content
line beginning with "{", 3 to 5 characters, "}", as a checksum, it doesn't
accept the content but instead tries to find the file in a filebucket...
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/2f14ddd269c26cba36771d9b3464c2c29422e46a/lib/puppet/type/file/content.rb#L49
I actually need to store "{CRYPT}$..." which isn't one of Puppet's
recognised types.
It seems there's no way to work around this in pure Puppet code, so I can't
manage those files without doing something hackish, like putting a modified
form of the content in a file alongside then having a script on the machine
that puts it in the correct place without the modifications, but the issue
for removing this behaviour was last updated in 2018:
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-1043
It says it will now target Puppet 7, which came and went some time ago.
Does anyone know if there will be a new target for this?
Thanks,
Iain Hallam.

[Puppet Users] file content
Hi all,
I have a problem when adding content to a file. I know this sound
basic, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
my server runs puppet-server-2.6.3-0.4.el5 and client
puppet-2.6.1-0.6.el5.
I firs defined a file like:
file { 'default_dns':
name= '/etc/resolv.conf',
content = search mydomain.com \nnameserver 192.168.1.1 \nnameserver
192.168.1.2; }
It returns the error:
You cannot specify more than one of content, source, target at ...
SO I tried the example from
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#file like
$srt=search mydomain.com \nnameserver 192.168.1.1 \
\nnameserver192.168.1.2
file {
'default_ntp':
name= '/etc/ntp.conf',
content = $srt#
} }
*notice double { at the end, as the exmaple shows, alo tried with simple }
with , and ; after $srt
All my combinations produce and error. Double } syntax one (is doc wrong?) and
others same as above...
So, how may I specify file content?
TIA,
Arnau

Re: [Puppet Users] file content
Hi,
You probably have a File statement somewhere (like site.pp) which has a
default source or target attributes.

You're right.
anyway, without the define, that should be something like:
file { my_file:
content = my content,
}
and that produces an error in my code.
Thanks for your answer,
Cheers,
