For

pdk new module

[SOLVED] I have defined a class

proxy

and a defined resource type

proxy_host

. inside the

proxy.pp

class declaration, can I extract the title of all defined

proxy_host

instances? how? solved: never mind, I can do this in a different way. I'm curious about the procedure to do this, but I don't need this.

(If anyone is curious, this was to provide the

MDomain host1 host2...

directive for Apache HTTPD mod_md)

Just a reminder those wanting to know about how Puppet 8 will affect things https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/wiki/Puppet-8-Compatibility

Can someone point me to a good review or two of PuppetDB? Lot's of info on how to do it, etc. But I'm looking for other bits of details, like - 1. pros/cons of running on same machine as puppetserver vs. standalone server 2. use cases - what are most people using it doing with it? 3. known issues, caveats, et. al. 4. if puppetdb goes down, or has issues - does this affect everything else? Will our puppet clients be affected? 5. also curious, how old is puppetdb, when was it created?

does anyone use puppetlabs/java_ks with puppet 7? It randomly fails with

change from 'present' to 'latest' failed: Execution of 'keytool -v -printcert -file /tmp/certificate20230313-11787-1fogisx' returned 1: keytool error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/certificate20230313-11787-1fogisx (No such file or directory)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/certificate20230313-11787-1fogisx (No such file or directory)

but that tmp file is created by provider itself, so why?

See the

puppetlabs-java_ks

module at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/java_ks?src=slack&channel=puppet

Frankly, lots of these random hiccups after switching to v7 - eyaml-gpg randomly can't find private key. code manager times out and so on

I wonder if some parallelism was introduced that doesn't work quite well ?

Maybe version of ruby is a culprit ?

do you have /tmp as noexec?

It’ll cause constant permanent failures.. but the problem is random.. looks like race condition

I agree, they are random

no separate /tmp on EC2 instances

one def started before another completed/flushed ?

it's too low level ruby for me to debug

one def started before another completed/flushed ?

I'm looking for a puppet module that will create facts which report if a file exists on the client's filesystem (or not). The case I'm trying to solve is to add a conditional into my puppet. That conditional being true/false based upon the existence of an arbitrary file on the filesystem of the puppet client. Before I build my own fact for it I wondered if anyone knew of a module that already provided this.

seems a bit specific to put in a module or you would need to manage a config file which would delay the fact being picked up until a later puppet run. Seems like a very simple/specific fact to write yourself?

Yeah, the fact, if it existed, would need some kind of two-stage process, even though you could probably dynamically generated the facts.

But it's really just

Facter.add(:my_file) do
  setcode do
    File.exist?('path')
  end
end

And you could probably golf around the setcode, but that's it.

Slap it into

lib/facter/my_file.rb

in some module (I just use our

profile

module for simple ones) and go

I'm got my control-repo running on GitHub Enterprise Cloud and puppet server running in a GCP vm with no external IP or NAT. Any suggestions what bits and pieces I could use to trigger r10k from github?
