Puppet download file location

Here is the bulk of the magic that often causes confusion. Puppet modules have a specific directory structure, and various components of Puppet expect things to be in certain directories.

Below is an example module. Not every module will have these exact files or directories; some will have fewer, and others will have more or different files and directories. This is often the first directory people discover.

It contains all the Puppet code in. It is important to realize that Puppet will read and execute all code in every file in these directories, regardless of whether it meets convention. The only exception is for "produces" and "consumes" statements related to orchestration. Additionally, there should only be one class or defined type per manifest. Finally, there should be a special manifest named init.

The remaining classes should be in manifest files, with the class being defined as modulename::classname or modulename::subdirectory::classname. The example below illustrates this naming scheme.

This is the second most commonly encountered directory. This is a directory used by the Puppet file server. Of all of the communication that occurs over TCP port with the Puppet server, one endpoint is a file server. Puppet assumes the name of the Puppet master generating the catalog is the correct master to serve the file as well.

This is almost always correct. After using Puppet for managing configuration files, people run into the requirement to customize those files for their needs. The template function and directory provide this functionality. While the files directory uses the source attribute of the file type, keeping the file data out of the catalog, the templates function uses the content attribute and places the entire file contents into the catalog.

Prior to Puppet 4, templates could only be in. Now a more human readable. Any variables available within the scope of the class calling the template function will be available inside the template as well.

This includes all top scope variables most usefully, facts , which are loaded automatically inside the class. Previously known as tests , this directory has recently been renamed to examples to better illustrate its purpose.

Either configure your load balancer to direct all filebucket traffic to a single primary server, or use something like an out-of-band rsync task to synchronize the content on all primary servers. Note : Enabling and using the backup option, and by extension the filebucket resource, requires appropriate planning and management to ensure that sufficient disk space is available for the file backups. Generally, you can implement this using one of the following two options:. Use a find command and crontab entry to retain only the last X days of file backups.

For example:. The checksum of the source contents. Only md5, sha, sha, sha and sha are supported when specifying this parameter. The desired contents of a file, as a string. This attribute is mutually exclusive with source and target. A read-only state to check the file ctime.

Perform the file operation even if it will destroy one or more directories. You must use force in order to:. On Windows, a user such as "Administrator" can be set as a file's group and a group such as "Administrators" can be set as a file's owner; however, a file's owner and group shouldn't be the same.

If the owner is also the group, files with modes like "" will cause log churn, as they will always appear out of sync. A parameter which omits action on files matching specified patterns during recursion. How to handle links during file actions. During file copying, follow will copy the target file instead of the link and manage will copy the link itself.

When not copying, manage will manage the link, and follow will manage the file to which the link points. In case the resource is a directory and the recursion is enabled, puppet will generate a new resource for each file file found, possible leading to an excessive number of resources generated without any control.

Use value 0 to log a warning instead of raising an error. Use value -1 to disable errors and warnings due to max files. The desired permissions mode for the file, in symbolic or numeric notation. This value must be specified as a string; do not use un-quoted numbers to represent file modes. If the mode is omitted or explicitly set to undef , Puppet does not enforce permissions on existing files and creates new files with permissions of The file type uses traditional Unix permission schemes and translates them to equivalent permissions for systems which represent permissions differently, including Windows.

So to make your intent clear, you should use at least four digits for numeric modes. When specifying numeric permissions for directories, Puppet sets the search permission wherever the read permission is set.

A read-only state to check the file mtime. On Windows, a group such as "Administrators" can be set as a file's owner and a user such as "Administrator" can be set as a file's group; however, a file's owner and group shouldn't be the same. The specific backend to use for this file resource.

You will seldom need to specify this Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform. Whether unmanaged files should be purged. If you have a filebucket configured, the purged files will be uploaded, but if you do not, this will destroy data. Whether to recursively manage the contents of a directory.

The allowed values are:. In general, you should leave this set at its default and only set it to true when you need Puppet to not try to fix SELinux labels automatically. What the SELinux range component of the context of the file should be. Any valid SELinux range component is accepted. For example s0 or SystemHigh. If not specified it defaults to the value returned by matchpathcon for the file, if any exists. What the SELinux role component of the context of the file should be.

Any valid SELinux role component is accepted. Only valid on systems with SELinux support enabled. What the SELinux type component of the context of the file should be. Any valid SELinux type component is accepted. What the SELinux user component of the context of the file should be. Any valid SELinux user component is accepted. Whether to display differences when the file changes, defaulting to true. This parameter is useful for files that may contain passwords or other secret data, which might otherwise be included in Puppet reports or other insecure outputs.

A source file, which will be copied into place on the local system. This attribute is mutually exclusive with content and target. Allowed values are:. This will fetch a file from a module on the Puppet master or from a local module when using Puppet apply.

Unlike content , the source attribute can be used to recursively copy directories if the recurse attribute is set to true or remote. If a source directory contains symlinks, use the links attribute to specify whether to recreate links or follow them.

Multiple source values can be specified as an array, and Puppet will use the first source that exists. This can be used to serve different files to different system types:.

Alternately, when serving directories recursively, multiple sources can be combined by setting the sourceselect attribute to all. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
