For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules check the DOCS directory on Example42 main modules set.
USAGE - Basic management
-
Install puppet with default settings
class { 'puppet': }
-
Install a specific version of puppet package
class { 'puppet': version => '1.0.1', }
-
Disable puppet service.
class { 'puppet': disable => true }
-
Remove puppet package
class { 'puppet': absent => true }
-
Enable auditing without without making changes on existing puppet configuration files
class { 'puppet': audit_only => true }
USAGE - Overrides and Customizations
-
Use custom sources for main config file (you have to explicitely disable the default template)
class { 'puppet': source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/puppet/puppet.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/puppet/puppet.conf" ], template => absent, }
-
Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir (you have to explicitely disable the default template)
class { 'puppet': source_dir => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/puppet/conf/', source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir template => absent, }
-
Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.
class { 'puppet': template => 'example42/puppet/puppet.conf.erb', }
-
Automatically include a custom subclass
class { 'puppet': my_class => 'puppet::example42', }
USAGE - Example42 extensions management
-
Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)
class { 'puppet': puppi => true, }
-
Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands
class { 'puppet': puppi => true, puppi_helper => 'myhelper', }
-
