attribute gets translated intopostfix::configs
resourcespuppet::config - m
matt
03/21/2023, 6:49 PMwhere are you reading that, I'm looking in config.pp at the moment at the examples in the header and they don't show that - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 6:50 PMmain class translates it - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 6:50 PMinit.pp - m
matt
03/21/2023, 6:50 PMfound it - m
matt
03/21/2023, 6:50 PMnice, thank you - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 6:50 PM - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 6:50 PM - m
matt
03/21/2023, 6:50 PMslick way to do it, I guess it's due to how big the number of params could be in main.cf - m
matt
03/21/2023, 6:51 PMcould end up with endless params to manage - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 6:51 PMyep - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:08 PMI'm missing something, I'm testing the hiera config just for smtpd_tls_cert_file as a test, - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:08 PMI've got - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:08 PM
smtp_use_tls: truepostfix::config: - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:09 PMthat should set smtp_use_tls to true in main,cf but it's not, does it need to be formatted different for the loop in init.pp to pick it up, - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 7:15 PMchange it toCopy codepostfix::configs: smtp_use_tls: 'yes' - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:17 PMconfigs 's' - the s, the docs say postfix::config have I got that wrong - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 7:17 PMnope, you reading the doc wrong 🙂 - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 7:19 PM
is a resource, it doesn't use hiera postfix class has an attribute -postfix::config
, which it translates to collection ofconfigs
resourcespostfix::config - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 7:20 PMso you need to pass
in hiera, to be read by postfix classpostfix::configs - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:21 PMahh, I thought it was setting the hash in postfix::config and then init.pp was looping through that to make postfix.configs - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:21 PMlets try that again then - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:23 PMpostfix::configs: - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:23 PMoops - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:23 PMpostfix::configs: - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:23 PMok, that's annoying, sorry - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:24 PMCopy codepostfix::configs: smtp_use_tls: 'yes' - v
vchepkov
03/21/2023, 7:24 PMyep, do that 🙂 - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:24 PMthat should work, but the puppet run complains Evaluation Error: Expected value of type Hash, got String - m
matt
03/21/2023, 7:24 PMbut how is it a string ? it's a hash
