hi there,
i'm not sure as to how to call the subject of this post, as i'm
totally new to puppet -- so please forgive me if this is
misleading ...
for my servers, i'm planning to do something like this (pseudo-code):
class (?) base-config:
include ntp::client
include resolver
...
all servers should by default include the base-config class.
however, for the node which has the role "ntpd-server", i don't want
ntp::client to be included, but rather ntp::server.
how can i do this?
my ntp module looks like this:
class ntp {
package { 'openntpd':
ensure => latest
}
service { 'openntpd':
ensure => running,
}
$ntpserverip = '192.168.1.1' # this is somehow to be replaced with
the
# actual ip of the ntpd server
class client {
$role = 'CLIENT'
}
class server {
$role = 'SERVER'
}
file { "/etc/openntpd/ntpd.conf":
template("ntp/ntpd.conf.erb")
}
}
and the template looks like this:
<% if role == "SERVER" %>
listen on <%= ntpserverip %>
server ptbtime1.ptb.de
server ptbtime2.ptb.de
server ptbtime3.ptb.de
<% end %>
<% if role == "CLIENT" %>
server <%= ntpserverip %>
<% end %>
to summarize:
question 1: how can i make sure that the server which shall be
openntpd server has $role = 'SERVER' and all others have role =
'CLIENT' ?
question 2: how can i include the ip of the ntp server as $ntpserverip
without having to manually set it?
question 3: what else did i do wrong?
i just found out about puppet, and am really excited about it. looks
like a great helper even for a rather small (~15 machines (virtual +
physical) in total) environment.
thanks for your insight!
Andreas.
