Using Bower in a VM with puppet to run python-nvd3 - node.js

I'm trying to set up a VM to use python-nvd3 and using puppet to provision the machine. I've got node.js/npm to go in ok but then I get an error trying to install packages using bower:
package { 'bower':
provider => npm
}
exec { 'install d3':
command => '/usr/local/bin/bower install d3#3.3.8',
require => Package["bower"]
}
exec { 'install nvd3':
command => '/usr/local/bin/bower install nvd3#1.1.12-beta',
require => Package["bower"]
}
err: /Stage[main]/Infinite_interns::Box::Tm351d001r/Exec[install d3]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed: /usr/local/bin/bower install d3#3.3.8 returned 1 instead of one of [0] at /vagrant/modules/infinite_interns/manifests/box/tm351d001r.pp:39
If I ssh in to the VM, and try to run a bower command I get a y/n prompt to ask if I want to allow error logging. In this case I don't want to and I don't want my provisioner to fall over because it can't answer the question (if this is the problem that's causing the above puppet error).

You have to set the CI environment variable to true or use the config.interactive=false bower flag to avoid interactive operations. Example:
exec { 'install d3':
command => '/usr/local/bin/bower install d3#3.3.8 --config.interactive=false',
require => Package["bower"]
}

How to check if package is installed by using unless?

I've created a puppet script to install Azure client and in the last step before using yum install, I want to make sure that the package haven't installed before for prevent from duplicate install.
My concept is
Execute the script if the output from az --help give nothing (which mean there's no Azure install)
or if you guys have any better choices please guide me, thanks!
And my code is
#install azure client
exec { 'install-azure':
command => '/bin/yum install azure-cli -y',
path => '/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:',
unless => 'az --help',
#require => Exec['yumrepolist']
}
It seems like there're something wrong with the code, I've checked a particular agent by using
puppet agent -t
Notice:
/Stage[main]/Os_preparation::Azure_install/Exec[yumrepolist]/returns:
executed successfully Error:
/Stage[main]/Os_preparation::Azure_install/Exec[install-azure]: Could
not evaluate: Could not find command 'az'
Any ideas? Thanks
You should install azure-cli using a package resource. Also, you should add its Yum repository as a yumrepo resource.
Try something like the following, which replicates the instructions on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-yum?view=azure-cli-latest.
yumrepo { 'azure-cli':
descr => 'Azure CLI',
baseurl => 'https://packages.microsoft.com/yumrepos/azure-cli',
enabled => 1,
gpgcheck => 1,
gpgkey => 'https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc',
}
package { 'azure-cli':
ensure => installed,
require => Yumrepo['azure-cli'],
}

Installing pear package using puppet

I am trying to install the pear package "HTTP_Request2" using puppet. The target OS is RHEL 7.
I have come across 2 puppet modules that I believe should be able to do this
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/rafaelfc/pear
https://forge.puppetlabs.com/example42/php
Ideally I would like to use the refaelfc module as it seems more specialized for this task. The problem I have with this is that to gain internet access on the target server you need to go through a proxy, I can't seem to find anything in this module to set this. Without this set puppet just times out when trying to install the module.
Using option 2 I add the following to my manifest:
include php
php::pear::config { http_proxy: value => "http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx" }
php::pear::module { 'HTTP_Request2':
repository => 'pear.phpunit.de',
alldeps => 'true',
require => Php::Pear::Config['http_proxy'],
}
When doing this I get the error:
Error: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y list php-pear-HTTP_Request2' returned 1: Error: No matching Packages to list
It doesn't seem right to be that it should be calling on yum? How can I get puppet to install this pear package?
Managed to get it working using a combination of the example42/php module and a custom script:
include php
php::pear::config { http_proxy:
value => "http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx",
}
exec { 'HTTP_Request2':
command => '/usr/bin/pear install HTTP_Request2',
unless => '/usr/bin/pear info HTTP_Request2',
require => Php::Pear::Config['http_proxy'],
}

Puppet Nginx Install CentOs

Can someone tell me why this is not working? This code works just fine on an Ubuntu server, but crashes on CentOS. I am running Puppet version 3.7.2.
node default {
package { 'httpd':
ensure => 'absent'
}
package { 'nginx':
ensure => 'installed',
require => Package['httpd'],
}
}
and I am getting this error:
Error: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y list nginx' returned 1: Error: No matching Packages to list
Error: /Stage[main]/Main/Node[default]/Package[nginx]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Execution of '/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y list nginx' returned 1: Error: No matching Packages to list
nginx is not in the default CentOS repo; it requires epel. Before you can install the package, you need to require epel-release:
package { 'epel-release':
ensure => 'installed',
}
package { 'nginx':
ensure => 'installed',
require => [Package['httpd'], Package['epel-release']],
}
By the way, does your installation of nginx specifically require httpd being absent before installation? You should be able remove the httpd metaparameter dependency.

How can i use puppet to install network tool like iptraf

i am using the example of iptraf on github
I do a git clone, and then sudo puppet apply init.pp
but i dont see iptraf installed on the ubuntu 11.04 host
now this puppet is a client ONLY instance, and NO Master.
from another example i see i can install apache2 as:
class basic_services {
##Get Apache
package { 'apache2':
ensure => 'installed',
}
##Edit the Apache Conf
file { "/etc/apache2/sites-available/default":
require => Package["apache2"],
owner => "root",
group => "root",
content => "$some_variables::apache_config",
}
##Make sure Apache is running, and restarts on changes to conf
service {'apache2':
require => Package["apache2"],
ensure => running,
subscribe => File["/etc/apache2/sites-available/default"],
}
}
so for iptraf:
init.pp
class iptraf {
include iptraf::base
}
base.pp
class iptraf::base {
package{'iptraf': ensure => installed }
}
I will use this example as a base to develop a manifest for Testing Tools
So what am i missing here , as after i run :
sudo puppet apply init.pp , and try to access iptraf, i get the message:
iptraf
The program 'iptraf' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install iptraf
in the directory:
/etc/puppet/modules/iptraf
- create a file:
iptraf.pp
- with contents:
package { "iptraf":
ensure => "installed"
}
- issue the command:
puppet apply iptraf.pp
/Stage[main]//Package[iptraf]/ensure: ensure changed 'purged' to 'present'
Finished catalog run in 2.71 seconds
run iptraf on command line , the UI POPS UP.
Done!
move the iptraf directory to the modules. Your directory structure should be this :
/etc/puppet/modules/iptraf/manifests/{init.pp,base.pp}
then do,
sudo puppet apply -e 'include iptraf'
that should install iptraf.
sudo iptraf should open a nice screen in your terminal :)

Augeas support on my Vagrant machine?

I'm trying to getting support for augeas on my Vagrant machine.
I tried to install some package with these directives:
package { "augeas-tools": ensure => installed }
package { "libaugeas-dev": ensure => installed }
package { "libaugeas-ruby": ensure => installed }
When i try to use augeas on my manifests, after the vm boot i receive this error:
err: Could not find a suitable provider for augeas
I'm using the precise32 official box with Vagrant 1.0.3.
Vagrant 1.0.3 has ruby 1.8.7 and puppet 2.7.14
$ ruby -v
$ ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-linux]
$ puppet help
$ Puppet v2.7.14
This is my little manifest with php class, included after apache class, mysql and other classes tested separately.
All things works correctly excepting for the augeas command.
class php {
exec { "apt-update":
command => "/usr/bin/apt-get update",
refreshonly => true;
}
package { "augeas-tools": ensure => installed }
package { "libaugeas-dev": ensure => installed }
package { "libaugeas-ruby": ensure => installed }
package { "php5": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-cli": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-xdebug": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-curl": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-intl": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-imap": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-mcrypt": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-imagick": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-sqlite": ensure => installed }
package { "php5-gd": ensure => installed }
package { "php-apc": ensure => installed }
package {
"libapache2-mod-php5" :
ensure => installed,
require => Package["php5"]
}
augeas { "php-cli":
require => [
Package["php5"],
Package["augeas-tools"],
Package["libaugeas-dev"],
Package["libaugeas-ruby"],
],
context => "/etc/php5/cli/php.ini",
changes => [
"set date.timezone Europe/Rome",
"set short_open_tag Off",
];
}
augeas { "php-apache":
require => [
Package["php5"],
Package["augeas-tools"],
Package["libaugeas-dev"],
Package["libaugeas-ruby"],
],
context => "/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini",
changes => [
"set date.timezone Europe/Rome",
"set short_open_tag Off",
];
}
}
After installation of packages, logging in the vagrant machine with "vagrant ssh", i launch:
vagrant#precise32:~$ ruby -raugeas -e "puts Augeas.open"
#<Augeas:0xb77a3598>
Thanks in advance!
I added the following to my Vagrantfile and it augeas started working.
Before declaring puppet provisioner add the following line, if on ubuntu:
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install puppet -y"
This will update your apt packages and then update puppet client whose latest version already has a fix.
It turns out that this wasn't fixed in bug #6907 that I referenced in my other answer. That fix only worked for Puppet providers that depended on commands that were then supplied during the run.
For the Augeas provider, it uses an internal Puppet called "features" to check if the ruby-augeas library is available or not. Features are only being checked once and the results cached, so even after installing the library, this meant the feature still evaluated to false.
I filed this upstream as bug #14822 and have sent a pull request with a fix. Testing with the patch, I now get this successful run:
notice: /Stage[main]//Package[ruby-augeas]/ensure: created
notice: /Stage[main]//Augeas[test]/returns: executed successfully
I'm not familiar with Vagrant, but I think you'll need to find a workaround to install the libaugeas-ruby package before the Puppet run in the meantime.
On Puppet 2.7.14, this should work as the dependencies for providers will only be evaluated when they're needed - i.e. when Puppet needs to run those Augeas resources.
Without the full Puppet log file to confirm, I suspect that it's because you're missing explicit dependencies between the Augeas package(s) and the Augeas resources that need them. Remember, listing the resources in the manifest in that order doesn't mean Puppet executes it that way.
You could either add requires parameters to every Augeas resource:
augeas { "php-cli":
require => [ Package["php5"], Package["libaugeas-ruby"] ],
# ...
}
Or use the chaining syntax to automatically make every Augeas resource depend on a package. Add this on a line inside the class, but not inside any resource:
Package["libaugeas-ruby"] -> Augeas <| |>
After reading answer from #m0dlx I inspect /home/vagrant/postinstall.sh file and found that Vagrant uses own copy of Ruby:
# The base path to the Ruby used for the Chef and Puppet gems ruby_home="/opt/vagrant_ruby"
After that I find file augeas.rb at /opt/vagrant_ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/puppet-2.7.19/lib/puppet/provider/augeas/augeas.rb and edit it, by changing line
confine :true => Puppet.features.augeas?
to
confine :true => :augeas
(Shortly speaking I partially apply patch from #m0dlx.)
After that this error is gone.
