LVM automatic sizing via puppet lvm module - puppet

I'm using the lvm puppet module, this is up to date and unchanged, this functions perfectly as far as I can tell when creating a new server (code with identifiable values removed below).
physical_volume { '/dev/sdb':
ensure => present,
} ->
volume_group { 'testvg':
ensure => present,
physical_volumes => '/dev/sdb',
} ->
logical_volume { 'test':
ensure => present,
volume_group => 'testvg',
} ->
filesystem { '/dev/mapper/testvg-test':
ensure => present,
fs_type => 'xfs',
} ->
file { '/test':
ensure => directory,
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0644',
} ->
mount {'/test':
ensure => 'mounted',
fstype => 'xfs',
device => '/dev/mapper/testvg-test',
pass => '2',
atboot => true,
}
Now comes the hard part; if I expand the physical size of the disk (/dev/sdb), let's say from 10gb to 20gb, I'd assume that without setting extents (quote from the module here: "Set to undef to use all available space") the lv would be automatically resized to fill the capacity of the disk and ideally the underlying filesystem would be resized (or at the very least lvdisplay would pick up the new size).
However absolutely nothing happens. Things I've tried:
Setting the extents to be 100%FREE (nothing happens)
Exec to run a pvextend (exec runs fine, but nothing happens after this)
Manually setting the size via facter (fails with insufficient disk space).
Changing the extents to be "+100FREE" rather than "100%FREE" (unknown value).
I feel like any changes I make at this point are likely to be on the module, and thus something is either very wrong with my code or wrong with the module.

Puppet : file resource only if file exists

What I want to do is quite simple :
1.
Copy /source/file to /target/file. I achieve this using the following:
file { 'my_file_copy':
ensure => file,
source => 'file:/source/file',
path => "/target/file",
}
2.
However, if file /source/file does not exist, I do NOT want it to perform this task.
I am really struggling with this logic. I attempted the solution below but it throws exceptions during puppet run.
puppet: if one file exists then copy another file over
Is there a better way of achieving this task ?
Ideally, I would like to only use "file" and avoid using "exec". But at this point I would settle for a solution !
Because Puppet is a declarative language where only the end-state is declared, imperative logic such as what you've described - if A, do X - is often hard to express.
Personally, I would try to simply avoid this requirement of having file B copied if and only if file A exists. Often there's a better way.
If the requirement needs to stay, however, then use of Exec here sounds like a pretty good option to me.
exec { 'my_file_copy':
command => 'cp /source/file /target/file',
onlyif => 'test -e /source/file',
creates => '/target/file',
path => '/bin',
}
You could use this logic:
$file = "/source/file"
exec { "chk_${file}_exist":
command => "true",
path => ["/usr/bin","/usr/sbin", "/bin"],
onlyif => "test -f ${file}"
}
file {"/target/file":
ensure => file,
source => 'file:/source/file',
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => '0750',
require => Exec["chk_${file}_exist"],
}

How to work around vcsrepo "duplicate declaration" evaluation error?

I am installing from github using puppet-vcsrepo. The code looks something like this:
class demo_class(
$my_repo = undef,
$my_tag = undef,
){
vcsrepo { "$my_repo",
path => "/home/user/$my_repo",
source => 'git#github.com:7yl4r/$my_repo.git',
ensure => latest,
provider => git,
}
# then declare resources specific to my_tag
}
This works just fine when called only once, but I am iterating over a list and installing dependencies so this resource sometimes gets declared twice. I think this is roughly equivalent to the code below.
class {"demo_class":
my_repo => test_repo,
my_tag => test_tag1,
}
class {"demo_class":
my_repo => test_repo,
my_tag => test_tag2,
}
Doing this yields a server-side "Duplicate declaration" error because vcsrepo is trying to map the the same path twice. However, this is exactly the behavior I want: for both resources declared by demo_class to require the same repo in the same location. This is so that I can declare one or more resources using demo_class and be sure the repo given by my_repo (which may be common to multiple my_tags) is there.
How can I modify this class so that I can call it twice without hitting an error?
I see the problem.
I reproduced the issue using this code:
define my_vcs_repo ($myRepo, $myTag) {
vcsrepo { "$myRepo-$myTag":
path => "/home/user/$myRepo",
source => "git#github.com:7yl4r/$myRepo.git",
revision => $myTag,
ensure => latest,
provider => git,
}
}
$data = [
{
myRepo => testRepo,
myTag => testTag1,
},
{
myRepo => testRepo,
myTag => testTag2,
},
]
$data.each |$i, $ref| {
$myRepo = $ref['myRepo']
$myTag = $ref['myTag']
my_vcs_repo { "$myRepo-$i":
myRepo => $myRepo,
myTag => $myTag,
}
}
That then results in:
Puppet::PreformattedError:
Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Resource Statement, Cannot alias Vcsrepo[testRepo-testTag2] to ["/home/user/testRepo"] at /
Users/alexharvey/git/modules/foo/spec/fixtures/modules/foo/manifests/init.pp:3; resource ["Vcsrepo", "/home/user/testRepo"] already declared at /Users/alexharvey/git/modules/foo/spec/fixtures/modules/foo/

The problem is that you are asking Puppet to clone the same Git module to a directory but with two different tags checked out. That does not make sense.
The fix is that you need to specify a unique path in the vcsrepo path attribute, e.g.:
vcsrepo { "$myRepo-$myTag":
path => "/home/user/$myRepo-$myTag",
source => "git#github.com:7yl4r/$myRepo.git",
revision => 'production',
ensure => latest,
provider => git,
}
By the way, I notice you are using camelCase for your variables. Don't do that. Aside from the fact that it is not idiomatic for Puppet, there are things that will break in some versions of Puppet/Rspec puppet that I have seen.
Use snake_case for your variable names and class parameter names.
Update
The question has been edited, and it is now a question about how to declare the same vcsrepo in more than one class.
In general, try to refactor so that you do not need to do this in the first place. In other words, just move it out of this class and put it somewhere that is only expected to be declared once.
If you cannot do this for some reason, then you can also use virtual resources, which will allow you to declare it in multiple classes that will be declared on the same node.
To do that, you just have to rewrite what you have there as:
#vcsrepo { $my_repo:
path => "/home/user/$my_repo",
source => "git#github.com:7yl4r/$my_repo.git",
ensure => latest,
provider => git,
}
realize Vcsrepo[$my_repo]
Keep in mind that you will not be able to declare the class demo_class twice on the same node either. You would need to turn it into a defined type, as I did above.
It is mentioned in the comments below that you can also use ensure_resource and ensure_resources; see docs in stdlib.

Puppet: how to share a common resource / variable in modules

I am trying to use puppet to bootstrap a new VPS. I am going to be running multiple sites, and, at the moment I am planning on running them in separate user accounts. I want to have a common authorized key for all of these users. I am using puppet 4.10.
The issue I'm having is that I want to add my ssh key into the authorized_keys for all of these users, but I can't seem to work out how to have a common resource. I've tried adding it in a class and then including that, but it's a duplicate. I tried passing in a variable to the class, but again, duplicate.
Basically I have a module like this
class wibble_somesite {
user { 'someuser':
ensure => 'present',
managehome => true,
purge_ssh_keys => true,
home => '/home/someuser',
shell => '/bin/bash'
}
ssh_authorized_key { 'patrickmacbookair':
ensure => present,
user => 'someuser',
type => 'ssh-rsa',
key => 'some_shared_key'
}
}
which I then include in my manifests/site.pp. However, I want to have multiples of these class wibble_someothersite and I want to centrally manage the some_shared_key inside the ssh_authorized_key stanza.
Any help would be appreciated. I have tried following the docs but I just haven't got anywhere.
I could just duplicate all the ssh_authorized_key calls, but that's obviously horrible.
You cannot have multiple instances of a class. However, you can with defined types.
Your example can be :
define wibble_somesite () {
user { $title:
ensure => 'present',
managehome => true,
purge_ssh_keys => true,
home => "/home/${title}",
shell => '/bin/bash'
}
ssh_authorized_key { "${title}_patrickmacbookair":
ensure => present,
user => $title,
type => 'ssh-rsa',
key => 'some_shared_key'
}
}
And you can use it like this :
wibble_somesite{'patrick':}
wibble_somesite{'bob':}
It will create users 'patrick' and 'bob', and allow the shared key to connect.
Is this what you are are looking for ?

Puppet; Call another .pp

So I am using the https://forge.puppetlabs.com/pdxcat/nrpe module to try to figure out automation of NRPE across hosts.
One of the available usages is
nrpe::command {
'check_users':
ensure => present,
command => 'check_users -w 5 -c 10';
}
Is there anyway to make a "group" of these commands and have them called on specific nodes?
For example:
you have 5 different nrpe:command each defining a different check, and then call those specific checks?
I am basically trying to figure out if I could group certain checks/commands together instead of setting up a ton of text in the main sites.pp file. This would also allow for customized templates/configurations across numerous nodes.
Thanks!
EDIT:
This is the command and what it's supposed to do when called on with the 'check_users' portion. If I could have a class with a set of "nrpe:command" and just call on that class THROUGH the module, it should work. Sorry, though. Still new at puppet. Thanks again.
define nrpe::command (
$command,
$ensure = present,
$include_dir = $nrpe::params::nrpe_include_dir,
$libdir = $nrpe::params::libdir,
$package_name = $nrpe::params::nrpe_packages,
$service_name = $nrpe::params::nrpe_service,
$file_group = $nrpe::params::nrpe_files_group,
) {
file { "${include_dir}/${title}.cfg":
ensure => $ensure,
content => template('nrpe/command.cfg.erb'),
owner => root,
group => $file_group,
mode => '0644',
require => Package[$package_name],
notify => Service[$service_name],
}
}
What version are you talking about? In puppet latest versions, inheritance is deprecated, then you shouldn't use it.
The easiest way would be to use "baselines".
Assuming you are using a manifests directory (manifest = $confdir/manifests inside your puppet.conf), simply create a $confdir/manifests/minimal.pp (or $confdir/manifests/nrpe_config.pp or whatever class name you want to use) with the content below:
class minimal {
nrpe::command { 'check_users':
ensure => present,
command => 'check_users -w 5 -c 10',
}
}
Then just call this class inside your node definitions (let's say in $confdir/manifests/my_node.pp) :
node 'my_node.foo.bar' {
include minimal
}

understanding repl in puppet code

I am looking at puppet code that looks something like
class {
users => {
'repl#%' => {
ensure => present,
.
}
}
}
What does "repl" do? I cant find much information online.
The amount of anonymization almost hides the important points. But I belive that this is supposed to be the declaration of a hash, meant for use with the create_resources function.
It works like this: If you have a large number of resources that should not take all the space in your class (this reason is contrived), you can convert it to a hash structure instead.
mysql_grant {
'repl#%':
ensure => present,
rights => 'REPLICATION CLIENT';
}
This becomes a hash, stored in a variable.
$users = {
'repl#%' => {
ensure => present,
rights => 'REPLICATION CLIENT',
}
}
This can then be used to declare this (and more resources in the hash, if there is more than one) in a simple line.
create_resources('mysql_grant', $users)
I'm guessing that you are looking at grants because repl#% is a typical MySQL notation that means user with name "repl" from any client.
TL;DR it is a domain specific identifier and has no special meaning to Puppet itself.
