So that kind of thing is generally handled a common “base” profile or “common” profile that all nodes/roles get on them. And within that profile you can have conditional logic to apply more code based on operating system or other facts. For example:

Copy code

class profile::base {

  case $facts['os']['family'] {
    'RedHat', 'Debian' : { include profile::base::linux }
    'Windows': { include profile::base::windows }
    default: { }
  }

}

And to declare the

profile::base

class on all nodes, you could either explicitly add

include profile::base

to reach role class, or put

include profile::base

outside of a

node

definition or within the

default

node definition in

site.pp

Insert my lightly held soapbox opinion to use

profile::std

rather than

profile::base

. I've found it's clearer to consumers in that you're applying a standard set of packages, etc rather than applying a base which is usually viewed as less intrusive. ymmv. Bonus content, something like this is common IME.

Copy code

class profile::std {

  include "profile::$facts[os.family].downcase" # or whatever works

Thanks! going to use profile::base for the moment

is node default { } applied to all nodes or only those not explicitly defined?

natemccurdy

10/26/2022, 11:09 PM

The latter. Only those that don’t have a node definition.

Sweet, that allows me to clean things up a fair amount!

I'm trying to figure out how to get an array value from hiera into a module. What's the term for how the $user_password key value is being extracted from hiera in this example?

Copy code

class account_svcansiblelocal (
    String $user_password

I'm trying to move the SSH key values into my site level Hiera but it's fighting me some due to it being an array.

Copy code

account_svcansiblelocal::user_sshkeys:
  - '(somekey1)'
  - '(Somekey2)'

if you're referring to automatic lookup of class parameters, it's usually called Automatic Parameter Lookup (APL) https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/hiera_automatic.html#class_parameters

if an array is.a valid value for that param then the class signature should specify array as valid type for that parameter eg: Array[String] $user_sshkeys

aaah

if you've added it after the $user_password parameter,make sure there's a comma after user_password/before the next param?? it's a bit hard to tell from error without seeing the code you're using to generate

William Myers

10/26/2022, 11:53 PM

Copy code

class account_svcansiblelocal (
    String $user_password  
    Array[String] $user_sshkeys
  ) {

William Myers

10/26/2022, 11:54 PM

ahhh

I had frgotten the comma

it's usually considered good practice to have comma after all params in the class signature to avoid forgetting when adding new parameters, eg:

Copy code

class account_svcansiblelocal (
    String $user_password,
    Array[String] $user_sshkeys,
) {

Copy code

$file = '/dev/ipmi0'
  exec { "check_${file}_exist":
    command => '/bin/true',
    onlyif  => "/usr/bin/test -e ${file}",
  }

  package { [ 'ipmitool','freeipmi-tools' ]:
    ensure  => latest,
    require => Exec["check_${file}_exist"],
  }

Copy code

$file = '/dev/ipmi0'
  exec { "check_${file}_exist":
    command => '/bin/true',
    onlyif  => "/usr/bin/test -e ${file}",
  }

  package { [ 'ipmitool','freeipmi-tools' ]:
    ensure  => latest,
    require => Exec["check_${file}_exist"],
  }

And this is the related debug output:

Copy code

Debug: Exec[check_/dev/ipmi0_exist](provider=posix): Executing check '/usr/bin/test -e /dev/ipmi0'
Debug: Executing: '/usr/bin/test -e /dev/ipmi0'

Yes, that depends of your jruby release. I use only tls1.2 and 1.3 in my stack

Is anyone else having issues with the

puppetlabs-mysql

module's switch to mariaDB when you have an existing installation of mysql? I reported the issue that I am experiencing here.
