do you have

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/puppet/type/sshd_config.rb

on the agent?

Managing ssh through cem_linux module

I just only want to change 2 values for 3 nodes Hence, writing a custom module

Yes, I have

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/cache/lib/puppet/type/sshd_config.rb

on the agent

mhm odd

no idea at the moment why it fails. maybe it cannot parse the type and then fails to load it

did this "sshd_config" resource type works?

I havent used this one in the past, but in general the augeas providers work fine

you could switch from the forge releases to the lastst master branch

Sorry, I did not get you

at the moment you pull from the forge

but you can also deploy modules from github

and the forge releases are a bit old

Got it Added both the modules in .fixtures.yml

It Worked Code PASSED

ah you're running unit tests? 😄

yes

important detail

metadata.json deps are only really processed by human eyes, I'm not aware of any tools that use them beyond formatting documentation. Any module (and all of its dependencies) will need to be in your .fixtures.yml file for doing unit tests and then they will also need to be in the Puppetfile of your environment in addition to your module.

if you use custom types from other modules, you might see errors if this module isn't listed as dependency in metadata.json

My Code has some problem: Every time I modify sshd_config file, sshd service needs to be restarted as per cem_linux Tried resolving it, but, puppet says cannot declare sshd service restart 2 times:

class corp::profile::ssh_setup {

	sshd_config { "AllowTcpForwarding":
  		ensure    => present,
  		condition => "Host tcp-pub-app*-<http://bla.bbb-qc.aws.aaa.com|bla.bbb-qc.aws.aaa.com>",
  		value     => "yes",
        notify    => Service['sshd'],
	}

	sshd_config { "MaxStartups":
  		ensure    => present,
  		condition => "Host tcp-pub-app*-<http://bla.bbb-qc.aws.aaa.com|bla.bbb-qc.aws.aaa.com>",
  		value     => "100",
        notify    => Service['sshd'],
	}
    service { 'sshd':
      ensure => 'running',
      enable => true,
    }
  }
}

      ensure => 'running',
      enable => true,
    }
  }
}

something else is likely declaring the

service { 'sshd': ...}

so you shouldn't add it in your profile

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

In the error message about the duplicate declaration, it will tell you where the other declaration is

Puppet only allows one resource to own a thing, also this is a discussion that makes more sense in the main #puppet channel

You're right It is already declared in some other manifest while modifying sshd_config file
