Copy code

class ntp (
  String $service_name,
) {
  file { '/some/file':
    content => epp("${module_name}/template.epp, {
      service_name => $service_name,
    )}
  }
}

Copy code

$manifest_variable = lookup('ntp::service_name')

.erb
<%= @manifest_variable %>

ok, that makes sense. so there is no way to do it directly in erb?

If you didn't want to copy the

lookup

boiler-plate to every class that uses the template, you could write a function that accepts whatever other parameters need to be in-scope for the template, does the

lookup

, and then renders the template.

You can technically do the

lookup()

in an ERB template, but I’m not going to recommend that. IMO, your ERB templates should be dumb and as simple as possible, only taking inputs from a single place and scope (which ideally would be where the

template()

function is called). Adding another data lookup inside the template itself muddies the waters and makes things harder to troubleshoot and refactor.

Why doesn't such a common library use symbol versions?

Can you try a manual Puppet run but add

--http_debug

to it, then see if that SQL error comes back? e.g.

Copy code

sudo puppet agent -t --http_debug

So i would like to remove unwanted files ( /var/cache and old kernels in /boot) to free up some space using puppet script and add this script to puppet master to automatically run once every month. I am new to puppet and would like your help with the below script to be corrected if wrong. exec { 'apt-autoremove': command => '/usr/bin/apt autoremove' age => ‘1m’ } exec { 'apt-clean': command => '/usr/bin/apt clean' age => ‘1m’ } Thanks

~~Systemd has a builtin functionality for exactly this usecase. I would try to utilize this instead of building your own solution. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/tmpfiles.d.html~~ Err sorry I misread your question. Nothing to see here 😄

it is just display name
