puppet

I am iterating over many entries in a hiera hash, and wish to remove identical duplicate lines from hiera by setting defaults in the manifest (such as ensure , groups , managehome etc), and have the defaults overridden IF the duplicate key/value pair exists in hiera. To date, everything I have tried fails to get the default values. I get the idea that I need to declare a resource, but am uncertain. I have tried setting "default_values_hash" in the lookup and other methods, but nothing appears to pass defaults into the iteration and --debug output This is a (pseudo) example of my manifest and

I'm using PuPHPet for my testing environments, which is based on Vagrant/Puppet+Hiera. In the config.yml (Hiera config file) I would like to add section for my timezone and with command vagrant provision setup it properly. It's that possible? Just add your timezone to whatever key you want in your hiera file, let's call it timezone . The value for which and the puppet code you'd need to set that timezone depends on the system you're firing up, but I'll assume RedHat flavor of unix. I recommend setting that to any valid value you'd see under /usr/share/zoneinfo . As an example your key may look

I'm working on building a structure for my webservers. I have my setup in hiera, but I can't seem to get puppet to give back the correct types. In common.yaml vhosts: hostname: sitename: app_url: value app_type: value I have multiple sites per vhost and multiple vhosts. In my manifest I'm going to be creating the folder structure and other setup tasks, but for for now I can't even get it to iterate over the sites. Current manifest: define application($app_name, $app_url) { notice("App Type: ${app_type}") notice("App Url: ${app_url}") } $vhosts = hiera('vhosts') $vhosts.each |$vhost| { create

How to handle data such as Mysql, web sites sources with Vagrant ? As a programmer, I like being able to easily set up environments for develop. So I created a vagrant box and provisioned it with puppet but I'm asking to myself, what about the data in the box ? What happen if I need to destroy the box and recreate it? All my data will be erased ! I had some problems with a crashed VM and I don't want to redo the same mistake, I want to have the control of my data. How do you do ? Do you use shared folders to put your live data ? Where do you keep your data, in or out the box ? In the current

I know that we can specify relationship between resources, which determines the deployment order. But is it possible to create relationship between resources on different nodes in Puppet? For example, I have apache web server in node A and mysql server in node B. I want to start mysql first before starting apache web server. How could I express this in Puppet language? I have tried the following codes: node ‘host1’ { @@service { ‘mysql’: ensure => running, tag => ‘host1-mysql’, } } node ‘host2’ { service { ‘apache2’: ensure => running, } Service<<| tag == ‘host1-mysql’ |>> -> Service[‘apache2’

I have access to just a module for our team, where as the global manifests are maintained by infrastructure team. The PATH variable gets set in the global manifests. I want to append to the PATH variable, but puppet ignores my exec block. file { "/etc/profile.d/set_java_home.sh": ensure => file, source => "puppet:///modules/teamXXX/set_java_home.sh", mode => "u=rw,go=r" } Exec { path => [ "\${PATH}", "\${JAVA_HOME}/bin" ] } How can I append to the PATH variable? edit I should have mentioned, I am looking to enhance the PATH variable for users's shell environment, rather than puppet's execution
