Hi all, first post here... reposting this from Stack Overflow as it didn't
get much traction there...
I am using puppet to read a fact from facter, and based on that I apply a
different configuration to my modules.
Problem:
the puppet agent isn't seeing this fact. Running puppet agent --test
interactively
works as expected. Even running it non-interactively from a script seems to
work fine. Only the agent *daemon* is screwing up.
Process:
I am deploying an Ubuntu-based app stack on EC2. Using userdata
(#cloud-config), I set an environment variable in /etc/environment:
export FACTER_tl_role=development
then immediately in #cloud-config, i source /etc/environment. only THEN i
apt-get install puppet (i moved away from using package: puppet to
eliminate ambiguity in the sequence of #cloud-config steps)
Once the instance boots, I confirm that the fact is available: running facter
tl_role returns "development". I then check /var/log/syslog, and apparently
the puppet agent is not seeing this fact - I know this because it's unable
to compile the catalog, and there's nothing (blank) where I'm supposed to
be seeing the value of the variable set depending on this fact.
However, running puppet agent --test interactively compiles and runs the
catalog just fine. even running this from the #cloud-config script
(immediately after installing puppet) also works just fine.
How do I make this fact available to the puppet agent? Restarting the agent
service makes no difference, it remains unaware of the custom fact.
Rebooting the instance also makes no difference.
here's some code:
EC2 userdata:
#cloud-config
puppet:
conf:
agent:
server: "puppet.foo.bar"
certname: "%i.%f"
report: "true"
runcmd:
- sleep 20
- echo 'export FACTER_tl_role=development' >> /etc/environment
- . /etc/environment
- apt-get install puppet
- puppet agent --test
Main puppet manifest:
# /etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp
node default {
case $tl_role {
'development': { $sitedomain = "dev.foo.bar"}
'production': { $sitedomain = "new.foo.bar"}
}
class {"code" : sitedomain => $sitedomain}
class {"apache::site" : sitedomain => $sitedomain}
class {"nodejs::grunt-daemon" : sitedomain => $sitedomain}
And then I see failures where $sitedomain is supposed to be, so $tl_role
appears to be not set.
Any ideas? This is exploding my brain....
