puppet-module-common

common module to be applied to ALL nodes

Compatibility

Module is generic enough to work on any system, though the individual modules that it could potentially include could be very platform specific.

===

Common class

Optionally include classes that are common to all systems, such as dnsclient, ntp, puppet::agent, and vim. By default we do not take any action, so you must enable the classes. This should be done in Hiera such as the following example. Ideally you would do this in your least specific level of hiera (often times labeled as 'common' or 'global') and potentially override at other levels.

Used in conjunction with a file resource.

Example usage:

common::mkdir_p { '/some/dir/structure': }

file { '/some/dir/structure':
  ensure  => directory,
  require => Common::Mkdir_p['/some/dir/structure'],
}

Parameters for common::mkdir define

None.

common::mkuser define

Ensures user/groups

Usage

You can specify hash each for users and groups and use Hiera to manage them.

This example uses the YAML backend, though that is not mandatory.

In Hiera's hierarchy add two levels, users, and groups such as the following example.

hiera.yaml

:backends:
  - yaml
:hierarchy:
  - fqdn/%{fqdn}
  - users
  - groups
  - %{environment}
  - common
:yaml:
  :datadir:

users.yaml

---
common::users:
  gh:
    uid: "30000"
    comment: "Garrett Honeycutt"
    groups: admin

groups.yaml

---
common::groups:
  admin:
    gid: "32000"

Functions

interface2factname()

Takes one argument, the interface name, and returns it formatted for use with facter.

Example: interface2factname('bond0:0') would return ipaddress_bond0_0.

strip_file_extension()

Takes two arguments, a file name which can include the path, and the extension to be removed. Returns the file name without the extension as a string.

Example: strip_file_extension('myapp.war','war') would return myapp.
