I'm sure it will work on later but

This task is for Puppet Bolt if you’d like to stay within puppet ecosystem I’d say. Choria.io can do the trick as well I believe

Thanks! I need to become more familiar with bolt anyway.

I can do module level hiera for hosts but worry about scalability and troubleshooting and future debug-ability. Bigger concern is when there's cross module dependencies or trying to test under prod like circumstances which can be hard without a clone of the whole environment, rolling back site level config, etc.

Without PE, is r10k the primary method of having a control repo? And when one says control repo are they implying that modules are installed as code (puppetfile), it contains site level hiera, etc? I have a really good grasp of how r10k works and use it personally and am currently in the process of trying to sell it at work.

Hello , I am new to Arrays in puppet and had a question regarding that - I have a class named

javaopts.pp

which would only add specific java options to my file when a list of IPs is passed

class my_cassandra::javaopts (
  $replace_dead_node,
  $config_path             = $my_cassandra::config_path
) {
  if !empty($replace_dead_node) {
    file_line { 'java-replace-dead-node':
      path               => "${config_path}/cassandra-env.sh",
      line               => "JVM_OPTS=\"\$JVM_OPTS -Dcassandra.replace_address_first_boot=${$replace_dead_node}\"",
      match              => 'JVM_OPTS="\$JVM_OPTS -Dcassandra.replace_address_first_boot=.*',
      append_on_no_match => true,
    }
  }
}

and in my

init.pp

I have initialised my variable as :-

Array[String]           $replace_dead_node        = $my_cassandra::replace_dead_node,

and I am trying to lookup the value from hiera (

default.yaml

) as :-

my_cassandra::replace_dead_node:
  - 10.111.120.156

However , I get the below error as :-

Class[My_cassandra]: parameter 'replace_dead_node' expects an Array value, got String

Could someone help me clarify what am I missing ?

And while there’s plenty of descriptive and prescriptive guides on what a controlrepo should look like, the real essence of a controlrepo is nothing more than “version control system repository that contains your puppet code.” You’ll end up with one no matter what, even if yours looks different, by its universal nature.

I'm having this problem with both AlmaLinux 8 and Ubuntu 20.04

I'm having issues where bolt tasks are failing to create the custom tmpdir within /var/cache, citing permission issues however I can run a mkdir command via bolt to create directories within /var/cache without issue?

I would try

/var/tmp

That's also noexec

Per CIS guidelines

When did CIS add noexec to var/tmp? sigh Now I need to look over it again ...

let me double check my fstab

yeah, https://secscan.acron.pl/centos7/1/1/10

1.1.10 is ooooooolld

i know, it was just the first thing that came up with google.

But yeah, the 3.1.1 has noexec for /var/tmp, too.
