[Puppet Users] Beaker does not install puppet in Ubuntu boxes

[Danny Roberts]

When running acceptance tests with an Ubuntu box with the following config:

HOSTS:
  ubuntu-server-1404-x64:
roles:
  - master
platform: ubuntu-server-14.04-amd64
box: puppetlabs/ubuntu-14.04-64-nocm
hypervisor: vagrant

CONFIG:
  log_level: verbose
  type: foss

The box spins up and does much of the setup but always fails here:

ubuntu-server-1404-x64 20:11:30$ wget -O /tmp/puppet.deb 
http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-.deb

For some reason even switching up the box used it always fails to get the

John,

Have you checked out
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.3/reference/quick_start.html? That
should all work with open source as far as I know.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet agent (Puppet 4) taking too long to apply the catalog

[DEGREMONT Aurelien]

Hello

To debug this slowness, try the following command:

time puppet agent -t --noop --evaltrace --summarize

And look for which part is slow in the summary and possibly which 
resource evaluation take too much time.

Le 01/12/2015 17:13, Lauro Silveira a écrit :

Hi,


Until yesterday, an agent on a node was applying the catalog very fast 
(about 5 seconds).
Yesterday, i've made  a definition that manages the fstab, using the 
module "herculesteam-augeasproviders_mounttab". The code appears to be 
very simple :


define linuxbasico::fstab(
  $mntpointsource,
  $mntpointdir,
  $mntpointtype,
  $mntpointoptions
) {
  file { "${mntpointdir}":
ensure => directory,
  }

  ->

  mounttab { "${mntpointdir}":
ensure   => present,
device   => "${mntpointsource}",
fstype   => "${mntpointtype}",
options  => $mntpointoptions,
dump => "0",
pass => "0",
provider => augeas,
  }
}

So, i've some tests to manage a mount point through this definition 
and everything worked fine. But, after a few more tests, the agent was 
taking too long to apply the catalog (more than 100 seconds). So, i 
removed the reference to my new definition and also removed the 
mounttab module, but the slowness persisted.
What i've noticed through debug messages is the following group of 
messages lots of times:



Debug: Failed to load library 'msgpack' for feature 'msgpack'
Debug: Puppet::Network::Format[msgpack]: feature msgpack is missing
Debug: file_metadata supports formats: pson yaml binary
Debug: Using cached connection for 
https://tucano1.redeteste.camara.gov.br:8140

Debug: Caching connection for https://tucano1.redeteste.camara.gov.br:8140

Another detail, after the message:

Notice: Applied catalog in 104.19 seconds

the agent is still hanging for about 30 seconds.



I've added the following config on the puppetserver, but nothing changed

always_cache_features = true

Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

Ps: Debug log file is attached

[Puppet Users] real path on fs to the environment in function

[Vasil Mikhalenya]

Hi all,

Could you suggest the right way to determine the path to the current
environment in puppet function? I want to store some data outside the
modules in the "files" directory in the git work-copy that pulled in each
environment and be able to detect the path to the "files".


files_dir = lookupvar("ssh_key_groups::path_to_keys")
files_dir = "files"

files_path = env.modulepath.map{|d| d.sub("modules", "")+files_dir }.select
{ |d| Puppet::FileSystem.directory?(d) }.shift

[Puppet Users] Re: Hiera Interpolation

[Matthew Ceroni]

So it appears you can interpolate array and hash variables 
(https://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/2.0/variables.html#interpolating-hash-or-array-elements)

I am currently running Puppet Master 3.8 (can't upgrade to 4 as of this 
moment as I integrate with Foreman).

Puppet 3.8 packages come with Hiera 1.3.5 and to use the above you need 2.0 
or higher. Therefore I removed the hiera 1.3.5 RPM (just broke the 
dependency on Puppet master 3.8) and installed 3.0.5 hiera gem. However I 
am receiving the following error when attempting to interpolate a key 
within a hash following the above documentation:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Evaluation Error: Empty string title at 0. Title strings must have a length 
greater than zero. at 
/etc/puppet/environments/sandbox/manifests/site.pp:25:11

My thought is that even though I removed Hiera 1.3.5 that it didn't fully 
get removed and Puppet master is still using it. The reason for this is 
with Hiera 2.0 and up the default location for hiera.yaml is now 
/etc/puppetlabs/code/hiera.yaml. I haven't created that file and just left 
/etc/puppet/hiera.yaml. If I remove /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml I get the 
standard error that hiera couldn't find the key in any lookup-files. 
Therefore it doesn't appear to be using /etc/puppetlabs/code/hiera.yaml.

Is there a way to verify what version of Hiera puppet is using and force it 
to use a specific version?

No, no. You can see

With puppet 4, the "data philosophy" has changed.

Ah, indeed. In fact, with puppet 4, I think I can do this (not tested yet):

class modb (
  $param,
){
  ...
}

And in data.pp

function modb::data () {

  $param_if_set = lookup('moda::param', String, 'unique', undef)
  if $param_if_set == undef {
$param = ::moda::data()['param']
  } else {
$param = $param_if_se
  };

{
  modb::param => $param,
}

}

I will try a test...

Same remark: can you explain a little?

Do you know if this bug will be resolved soon?
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-5209

Because it seems to me that my goal in this thread is impossible with this bug, 
no?

what's the ouptput of:
matchpathcony=a+bsin(c+dx)matchpathcon
matchpathcon /usr/sap/home/username

y=a+bsin(c+dx)
if selinux is enabled (permissive or enforcing) puppet tries to set the 
default selinux context on a managed file 
resource. 
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#file-attribute-seltype 

for a local additon of the file context you could run: 

semanage fcontext --add --type nfs_t /usr/sap/home(/.*)?

(I suspect /usr/sap/home is nfs mounted?)

afterwards the matchpathcon should then return system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0

sometimes I can see that a running already puppet service does not know 
about updated selinux file contexts - and tries to set the old context. 
restarting puppet service helps here.

- Thomas

PS: if you wanted to have the same permissions for /usr/sap/home as for 
/home selinux-wise you could run
semanage fcontext -a -e /home /usr/sap/home

but  I don't know if this applies to you. This equivalence feature is not 
very well known altough introduced in 2009 
(http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/27571.html) and is very usefull.

[Puppet Users] "signalling" inside a puppet provider?

[Peter Berghold]

Given the following pattern in a puppet manifest:

file{ 'some/file/foo':
  content => 'blah blah blah',
  notify => Exec['talkaboutfoo']
}
exec { 'talkaboutfoo':
 cmd => "some/command/some/where",
 subscribe => File['some/file/foo']
}

with a little bit of hand waving.

Is there something similar in a custom provider?  Reason I'm asking is I
have
written a custom provider for a very customized piece of locally grown
software that ideally one of the configuration parameters

mytype{ 'instance':
 state => "on",  # this parameter
 parm1=> "a",
 parm2=> "b",
 parm3=>"c"
}

should be set *last* among all the other parameters.

Is there a way to do that?

Hi,

I'm using Puppet 4 and I'm wondering if this (see below) is possible.

I have 2 Puppet modules, moda and modb. We can imagine that theses
modules
have just one class init.pp.



"init.pp" is the name of a manifest file, not of a class.  Moreover,
although it's poor form, such a manifest could contain definitions for
more than one class.  Moreover, in

The class ::moda has a parameter "param" with
the default value defined in the code of "./moda/functions/data.pp".



"./moda/functions/data.pp" appears to be the name of another manifest
file.  I suppose it's instead supposed to be a Ruby (.rb) file defining
a custom function, and although I can speculate based on its name what
it might do, the details matter, and you have not provided them.



In Puppet 4.x you can have functions written in the Puppet Language. 
Those reside under /functions/.pp


The data.pp is thus for a function called data. Such a function can be 
used to provide data for a module - it is supposed to return a hash of 
key => value mapping.


In addition to writing the function, a module can opt in to using this 
data functions by adding a configuration in its module metadata.


This is all part of the 4.x data in modules / lookup feature.

In Puppet 4.3.0 we also added the ability to use hiera data in modules.

[Puppet Users] Puppet 101: How to make it go?

[John Oliver]

I downloaded and installed the open-source puppet on a CentOS 6 virtual 
machine.  I downloaded and installed the client on a Mac OS X 10.10

So... how do I make it do something?

The docs on the puppet site are pretty useless for this... the docs for 
open source wind up looping back to refer to the enterprise product, and 
they go into great detail about installing, and then about all these 
wonderful things you can do, but not a single word about how to do a "Hello 
World!" and just see one client checking in.
