Hi,
I'm new to puppet, and I have a couple of apt related problems I'm
struggling to find solutions to.
Firstly, we'd like to run an apt-get upgrade the very first time a
node goes under puppet's control. Is there a good way to do this? I
thought that maybe touching a 'lock' file after running the command,
and only running if that file doesn't exist. Obviously, if this file
gets removed the packages would be upgraded again.
Secondly, I'm having trouble with outdated packages when trying to
install apache (and others). If some of the package details have
changed since apt update, then apt-get install xxx fails. If I
manually go onto the server and run an apt-get update, then kick
puppet again, the package installs fine. I have seen a number of
places where people have a similar issue on deb machines, and some
people recommend doing the following as defaults:
exec { "apt-get-update":
refreshonly => true,
command => "apt-get update"
}
Package {
ensure => installed,
require => Exec["apt-get-update"]
}
But reading the docs (and trying this out manually) the require
parameter doesn't trigger the exec (so I have no idea how all these
people are getting it to work *shrug*, or maybe they just think it's
working...)
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt. :)
