Hello again,
So I read up and watched the wonderful presentations suggested here. I am
certain this is the direction for our environment.
I have a question regarding the functionality of the profiles in regards to
file resources using the "source" option that replaces a file if it has
changed.. When looking at the example on the official documentation on how
to use profiles to set module data it shows this.
#
/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/site/profile/manifests/jenkins/master.ppclass
profile::jenkins::master (
String $jenkins_port = '9091',
String $java_dist = 'jdk',
String $java_version = 'latest',) {
class { 'jenkins':
configure_firewall => true,
install_java => false,
port => $jenkins_port,
config_hash => {
'HTTP_PORT' => { 'value' => $jenkins_port },
'JENKINS_PORT' => { 'value' => $jenkins_port },
},
It is clear that the profile::jenkins::master class is declaring the
jenkins class and setting the install_java param to false as well as
setting the configure_firewall to true.
In my case I have a module let's call it "file_config" where I am declaring
2 separate file resources where if they change, I will copy them from the
modules files directory.
Here is an example. Both of these file resources are in the same manifest,
so init.pp of the file_config class.
class file_config (
$firstfile = undef,
$secondfile = undef,
) {
file { '/etc/siteconf/file1':
ensure => file,
mode => '0644',
owner => 'root',
checksum => 'md5',
source => $firstfile,
}
file { '/etc/siteconf/file2':
ensure => file,
mode => '0644',
owner => 'root',
checksum => 'md5',
source => $secondfile,
}
}
For both I store the values in Hiera and without profiles this works
exactly how I need it to. However with profiles while I am trying to
abstract this and I am having difficulty understanding how to configure the
profile so that each file resource "source" value should be set. Since the
values I am trying to set are both named "source" I am stuck.
So for example.
##PROFILE
class profiles::base::config1 {
$source1 = hiera('profiles::base::config1::file1') ## file1
'/etc/siteconf/file1': $source2 = hiera('profiles::base::config1::file2') ##
file2 '/etc/siteconf/file2':
##both files are in 'puppet:///modules/file_config/' as file1 and file2, they
are set pulled into source1 and source2 above.
## And now trying to set the values through the profile for file1 and
file2...this is where i get lost since the values I am trying to set are
both named "source"
class file_config: {
source => $source1 ## this would be for file1 declared file resource
in the file_config class/module
source => $source2 ## this would be for file2 declared file resource
in the file_config class/module
}
I am trying to set the "source" value on both of these file resources which
seems impossible..
Is the way to do this to put the file resources in their own classes like
file_config::file1 and file_config::file2 located in
modules/file_config/manifests/file1.pp and file2.pp?
I hope this is clear and I am 99.9% sure I am approaching this incorrectly.
Thanks
