Puppet Community

though I'm pretty sure when I tried using rsync a while back it never worked for me

I tried using confine_block to exclude the docker hypervisor in rsync tests, but I'm not finding the right way

hm.. IIRC I’m using rsync in some local tests.. let me check

ah, I’m using `copy_module_to` which uses `scp` I guess..

how can I enable rsync? some key in nodeset file?

ah, I found.. it’s one of hash values.. let me check

solved with `rm -rf ~/.pdk/cache/ruby` :disappointed:

haha.. appears again after I made `pdk bundle install` in the outdated module dir.. so need to upgrade all my modules to PDK 2.7 to prevent this

interesting. a customer reported the same problem this week after upgrading to pdk 2.7. I had no time yet to dig into it

I’ll tag you in thread (if you’re not there yet)

I’d expect `rsync` doesn’t exists in the docker image by default.. I don’t see it’s installed but going to recheck to be 100% sure

yes, there is no rsync in the ubuntu 20.04 docker image at least

```rsync returned #&lt;Rsync::Result:0x00007f88ec16cea8 @raw="Warning: Permanently added '[127.0.0.1]:3318' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.\r\nbash: rsync: command not found\nrsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]\nrsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /AppleInternal/Library/BuildRoots/a0876c02-1788-11ed-b9c4-96898e02b808/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/rsync/rsync/io.c(453) [sender=2.6.9]\n", @exitcode=12&gt;```

let me try to install it via nodeset file

you can also use host.install_package('rsync')

btw, rsync asks me for the root ssh password

it seems it cannot be used non-interactively

well.. it works now with rsync installed in the docker container via `docker_image_commands`

I think I saw the comment somewhere around that rsync cannot be used with password-enabled ssh non-interactively..

ok, so I've established that confine_block on the hypervisor doesn't work

or at least, not as I'd expect because confine_block :except, { :platform =&gt; /windows/, :hypervisor =&gt; /vagrant/ } do runs on my vagrant_libvirt setup

but confine_block :except, :hypervisor =&gt; /vagrant/ does work and so does confine_block :except, { :hypervisor =&gt; /vagrant/ }

so I'm guessing it's an except AND, not OR, which probably took me way too long to realize

I got it to complete without timing out now :D

coming in on my late pdk train (again)

I love to see you discussing it here - it’s really valuable for me to read.

There is certainly a divide

1. People who want to make puppet content and don’t really want to know about ruby ecosystem etc
2. Experienced ruby devs who want to manage their own ruby ecosystem + make content 
keep the conversation alive. Positive / negative is good.
