Referring back to my stdlib thing from yesterday...

$yamlcontent = versioncmp($facts['puppetversion'], '8.0.0') ? {
    1       => stdlib::to_yaml($subscription_state, { indentation => 2 }),
    default => to_yaml($subscription_state, { indentation => 2 }),
  }

I know it isn't testing the stdlib version specifically, but I know that we can't use stdlib9 on anything of ours before puppet 8

I still don't see why you do this

put the old functions in any module and use that in parallel with stdlib? Why the version check?

Yeah, that's like using the card catalog to find the computer to look up the book

and there's a function to load the metadata.json

because I don't want to maintain a module with a copy of the code

this will just do nothing once we get rid of everything but 8

I'm aware pup.pt links have stopped working I have raised a case with IT to investigate this affects the community slack, bolt documentation and some bolt command output which refers to the bolt documentation links

Hi, I’m trying to manage a systemd service through hiera. ExecStart parameter has got password ( could be anything). If I encrypt the password, would puppet automatically decrypt it ? We cannot have secrets in repo data

checkout puppet/eyaml

Folks, I am in a company puppet repo and trying to understand how modules being called, folder under modules/ doesn’t have all the modules listed in Puppetfile but the Puppet run just fine without issue, what’s the logic behind ?

Hi all, I'm thinking of a quick yet reliable way to change a fleet of agents to a new server. I'm thinking something like this in a temporary class that I add to site.pp until all hosts are shutdown. Any thoughts? Is it too dirty?

exec 'change master':
  command => 'puppet config set master <new master> && rm -rf /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl && echo "done" > /root/puppet_master_changed_certs_purged.txt && shutdown',
  creates => '/root/puppet_master_changed_certs_purged.txt',
}

I've got an edge use case, and I'm wondering if puppet could handle it for me. I'm trying to configure network interfaces on a RedHat 9 devices. old school this would have been easy with puppet just dropping files in, but moving to network manage adds complexity. There is even more complexity as network manage has a bug/design flaw for me edge use case that requires me to edit/fix a file post device creation. I think I 'could' fix this by going back to dropping pre-configured/puppet managed connection files in place like redhat 7 type resources, however network manager create UUID's within the files that would not be able to be generated by puppet (I believe I can exclude the UUID from the files with. no problem but I'm not finished testing)

anyone doing anything with puppet on network manager ?

Hello! Please, help me fix the ‘ERROR Facter - Could not load puppet gem, got cannot load such file -- puppet’ error. Here is my custom fact:

require 'facter'

# Detect Broadcom/LSI RAID
Facter.add(:has_broadcom) do
  confine kernel: 'Linux'
  ENV["PATH"] = "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"

  setcode do
    if Facter::Util::Resolution.which('lspci') && Facter::Util::Resolution.which('grep')
      Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("lspci | grep -i 'raid' | grep -iqE 'Broadcom|LSI|MegaRaid'") != nil
    else
      false
    end
  end
end

Here is the output `facter -p`:

# facter -p | grep 'has_broadcom'
[2024-11-01 15:04:08.536918 ] ERROR Facter - Could not load puppet gem, got cannot load such file -- puppet

Here is the output `puppet facts`:

# puppet facts | grep 'has_broadcom'
  "has_broadcom": true,

I would just do

Facter.add(:has_broadcom) do
	confine :kernel => "Linux"
	setcode do
		Facter::Core::Execution.execute("lspci | grep -iqE 'Broadcom|LSI|MegaRaid' | grep -i RAID").to_s != ''
	end
end

Hello, please suggest the proper way for puppet and ci/cd I have puppet code on my private repo, using R10K to puppet master node to pull the changes from repo. question: how do I force the (affected/all)nodes to apply the configuration instantly in this flow?

Hi Is it ok to dynamically create multiple top-level facts within a setcode block in facter? The docs say

there must not be any code outside

setcode

and

confine

blocks

What does "any" mean in this case? Can I wrap my

Facter.add

in a loop like:

Facter.value('networking')['interfaces'].each do |i, val|
  Facter.add("myfact_#{i}") do
    setcode do
      "value_for_#{i}"
    end
  end
end

Technically this works, but is that

each

loop "any code outside `setcode`"? And yes, I am aware a structured fact is the real answer. I would use an external fact if I could but I need to reference the

networking

fact I arrived here due to a lot of legacy

facter

code with a lot of code outside

setcode

which has just started manifesting in indeterminate fact values, and is fixed by shoving code inside the `setcode`s. I can reduce the amount of change by getting the top level facts in order before changing these facts to structured facts. Comments and opinions gratefully accepted Thanks John

Has anyone ever encountered a scenario when running puppet rspec where a parameter given in puppet code overrides that parameter given in hiera? Normally its the exact opposite, and indeed on the real server the hiera overrides the puppet code.

are you sure that rspec-puppet is using your Hiera data? And ist that data you pass to a class when you instantiate it or default data in the class itself?

I added a spoof class load to the hiera and it loaded, so I am 100% sure its loaded

It is a boolean parameter set on the class instantiation. The param has a default of false, but we set it to false anyways (not sure why, maybe legacy, maybe belt and braces). The hiera parameter sets it to true
