I may be naive here, since I've never written my own types, but I'm
wondering if a puppet definition for mysql_user would be better than
writing a native puppet type. Something like:
mysql_user { "u...@localhost": password_hash => "hashed password" }
with:
define mysql_user (
$password_hash = "someknownhash"
) {
exec { "create_$name":
command => "mysql -e 'CREATE USER $name IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD
$password_hash'",
require => [Package["mysql-server"], Package["mysql-client"]],
}
}
The types I see on the documentation pages all appear to be written in
straight Ruby, and don't rely on external programs to run.
