I have a file at some web URL (http://www.somewhere.com/something.tar.gz).
This is direct download link.
I need a puppet code that would download this file, extract it and install the file.
Can we do this using package {} in puppet?
There isn't really an intrinsic provider for the package type that understands tarballs. There is, however, this VoxPopuli module: https://forge.puppet.com/puppet/archive which was recently Puppet certified and should do what you need.
Note under their usage example it could be modified for your needs like:
archive { '/tmp/something':
ensure => present,
extract => true,
extract_path => '/tmp',
source => 'http://www.somewhere.com/something.tar.gz',
checksum => 'checksum hash',
checksum_type => 'sha1',
creates => '/tmp/something',
cleanup => true,
}

That is my manifest code which download, install and remove installer on a host.
class googlechrome_2 {
package { 'GoogleChrome':
ensure => installed,
source => 'C:\Soft\ChromeSetup.msi',
install_options => ['/qn'],
require => File['GoogleChromeMsi'],
}
file { 'GoogleChromeMsi':
ensure => file,
path => 'C:\Soft\ChromeSetup.msi',
source => 'puppet:///files/production/ChromeSetup.msi',
}
exec { 'msi_removing':
command => 'C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c del C:\Soft\ChromeSetup.msi',
}
}
In this case my windows host always download chromesetup.msi regardless if google chrome already installed or not. How can I realize kind of "if condition" here to avoid downloading msi package each time in case if this package already installed?

Yes. Having the File resource in the node's catalog specifies that the file should be managed. Therefore, if it is not initially in the target state then Puppet will attempt to fix that.
By managing the file present but also including an Exec that removes the file, you ensure that the target node cannot achieve a stable state.

Simplest option: don't remove the installer.
Variation: Put the installer in an accessible network folder, so that you not only don't remove it, but you also don't install it.
If you really want a conditional: then it should be based on a custom fact that reports on the installation status of the package in question. You then use a Puppet if statement to control the contents of the node's catalog appropriately. Something along these lines, for example:
package { 'GoogleChrome':
ensure => 'installed',
source => 'C:\Soft\ChromeSetup.msi',
install_options => ['/qn'],
# relationhip with File['GoogleChromeMsi'] now declared on the other end
}
if $facts['chrome_is_installed'] {
file { 'GoogleChromeMsi':
ensure => 'absent',
path => 'C:\Soft\ChromeSetup.msi',
}
} else {
file { 'GoogleChromeMsi':
ensure => 'file',
path => 'C:\Soft\ChromeSetup.msi',
source => 'puppet:///files/production/ChromeSetup.msi',
before => Package['GoogleChrome'],
}
exec { 'msi_removing':
command => 'C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c del C:\Soft\ChromeSetup.msi',
require => Package['GoogleChrome'],
}
}
I've solved this by using network shared folder in the package source:
class googlechrome_smb {
package { 'Google Chrome':
ensure => installed,
source => '\\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\winfiles\ChromeSetup.msi',
install_options => ['/qn'],
}
}
I use puppet to update / maintain itself (among other things). For some reason every time the client runs I get these two actions:
Notice: /Stage[main]/Servers::Packages::Puppet/Package[facter]/ensure: created (corrective)
Notice: /Stage[main]/Servers::Packages::Puppet/Package[puppet]/ensure: created (corrective)
The definitions in question look like this:
package { 'puppet' :
ensure => 'latest',
require => Package['facter'];
}
package { 'facter' :
ensure => 'latest',
}
file { '/etc/default/puppet' :
ensure => 'file',
mode => '644',
source => 'puppet:///modules/servers/packages/puppet/default';
}
file{ '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf' :
mode => '644',
content => template("servers/packages/puppet/puppet_conf.erb"),
require => Package[ 'puppet' ];
}
service{ 'puppet' :
ensure => 'running',
enable => true,
require => Package[ 'puppet' ],
subscribe => [
File[ '/etc/default/puppet'],
File[ '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf'],
];
}
What's wrong with my definition(s)? Why do puppet / facter appear to be reinstalled with every run?
Since Puppet 4, Puppet, Inc. has provided only all-in-one packages of client-side components, not named either 'puppet' or 'facter'. The package for Puppet 6 is named puppet-agent -- this is what you should be managing, not packages named 'puppet' or 'facter'.
The messages you report indicate that Puppet does not see up-to-date 'puppet' or 'facter' packages, which is natural because these do not exist. They also indicate that puppet thinks it has corrected the problem -- which it will have attempted to do by installing / updating packages with those names, and which apparently succeeded. This seeming incongruity will have arisen because the puppet-agent packages declare that they provide features named "puppet" and "facter", which your package manager is using to associate those package names with the puppet-agent package. As a result, the installation / update succeeds without actually installing anything new, leaving the system primed to do the same thing over again on the next run.
I suspect that the "(corrective)" marks on the log output reflect package-manager exit statuses indicating success without doing anything.
I am facing a issue while trying configuring something with CFENGINE3.5, I have created a policy to install some package from source, which download tar balls from some url and then untar it and further digs it with make and make install, everything working fine except while it download tar balls it keeps at "/etc" location, I want cfengine to put this file at /tmp.
Is there any way to customize this default behavior of cfengine to keep all temporary downloaded files at "/tmp" instead of "/etc".
Here is the Policy snippet:
bundle agent install
{
vars:
"packages" slist => {
"Algorithm-Diff-1.1902",
"Apache-DB-0.13",
"Apache-DBI-1.06",
"Apache-Session-1.83",
"Apache-SessionX-2.01",
"AppConfig-1.65",
"Archive-Tar-1.32",
};
commands:
"/usr/bin/wget http://10.X.X.X/downloads/perl-modules/$(packages).tar.gz;
/usr/bin/gunzip $(packages).tar.gz;
tar -xf $(packages).tar;
cd $(packages);
/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL;
/usr/bin/make;
/usr/bin/make install;"
contain => standard,
classes => satisfied(canonify("$(packages)-installed"));
}
body contain standard
{
useshell => "true";
exec_owner => "root";
}
Thanks in advance.
You can add the directory in which the commands should be executed to the contain body, like this:
body contain standard
{
useshell => "true";
exec_owner => "root";
chdir => "/tmp";
}
Please note there are already a few contain bodies in the standard library (lib/3.5/commands.cf), maybe one of those can be used so you don't have to write your own. Note that CFEngine already executes as root, so exec_owner => "root" is not strictly necessary.
I'm trying to install the puppet module at https://github.com/dwerder/puppet-mongodb
One of the requirements for it to work is to have the mongodb repository set-up. Since I'm trying to deploy it on Debian I tried using the following class to add the source:
class mongodb::apt::repo {
include apt
apt::source { '10gen':
location => 'http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit',
release => 'dist',
repos => '10gen',
key => '7F0CEB10',
key_server => 'keyserver.ubuntu.com',
include_src => false
}
}
However, upon trying to install the module (on a test node) I get the following output:
root#debian:/etc/puppet/modules# puppet agent --test
info: Caching catalog for debian.lan
info: Applying configuration version '1353946258'
err: Could not apply complete catalog: Found 1 dependency cycle:
(Exec[apt_update] => Class[Apt::Update] => Anchor[apt::source::10gen] => Anchor[apt::source::10gen] => Apt::Source[10gen] => Class[Mongodb::Apt::Repo] => Package[mongodb-10gen] => Anchor[mongodb::install::end] => Anchor[mongodb::install::end] => File[10gen.list] => Apt::Source[10gen])
Try the '--graph' option and opening the resulting '.dot' file in OmniGraffle or GraphViz
notice: Finished catalog run in 0.06 seconds
The class is included in the module's install class at https://github.com/dwerder/puppet-mongodb/blob/master/manifests/install.pp
I'm not quite sure why this dependency cycle happens, any ideas?
What was your last change (that's probably the moment you added the cycle).
Try the suggestion to generate the graph. Post the generated dot file as gist so that we can investigate further.
Take a look at Debugging cycle or missing dependency.
Note that some dependencies are explicit (require, ->) or implicit (the resource provider add the dependency by it self)... having a look at the dot file should help.
I have a rails app and I'd like to change the ./config/environment/production.rb file to have a different config based on what I want that server to do.
So, I'm going into the .rb file from the .pp file and changing some strings then restarting the service. This just seems really poor form to me. Is there a better way to do this? I've been asked to deliver 1 RPM and change the config via puppet, so...
class Cloud-widget($MServer, $GoogleEarthServer, $CSever) {
package { "Cloud-widget":
ensure => installed
}
service { "Cloud-widget":
ensure => running,
}
<%
file_names = ['./config/environment/production.rb']
file_names.each do |file_name|
puts text.gsub(/.*config.mserver(.*)/, "config.mserver_root = \"#{$Merver}\"")
puts text.gsub(/.*config.google_earth_url(.*)/, "config.google_earth_url( = \"#{$GoogleEarthServer}\"")
puts text.gsub(/.*config.cserver_base_url(.*)/, "config.cserver_base_url = \"#{$CServer}\"")
end
File.open(file_name, "w") {|file| file.puts output_of_gsub}
%>
service { Cloud-widget:
ensure => running,
subscribe => File["./config/environment/production.rb"],
}
}
No, that is not a good way to achieve what you need.
You could look at templates and generate the config files that way. That way, you can use variables in the config file.
If you need create conf from pattern you should use INI-file module from Puppetlabs
ini_setting { "sample setting":
path => '/tmp/foo.ini',
section => 'foo',
setting => 'foosetting',
value => 'FOO!',
ensure => present,
}
install this module from puppet:
puppet module install cprice404-inifile
