Re: [Puppet Users] init config once
You might be better off using something like Puppet Bolt to deploy the file
as a one off task at provisioning, rather than trying to manage it
declaratively through Puppet.

Re: [Puppet Users] init config once
In an effort to avoid errors triggered by validate_cmd, I ended up using
a conditional based on a File.exists custom fact. I'm still open to
suggestions, this is all new territory to me.

Re: [Puppet Users] init config once
I've just realized that my problem statement was slightly misleading. A
'users' file gets installed as part of the software package, and the
goal is replacing its contents during the first Puppet run. The next
Puppet runs should ignore any changes.

Yep, just use the replace attribute on the file resource.

[Puppet Users] init config once
I'd like to initialize a user config file once, at software install time,
then allow application admins to manage the file contents via web interface
(add/remove users, etc.) - I have come up with the following:
file { 'users':
ensure => present,
content => template('my-template'),
validate_cmd => '/bin/test ! -f users.control',
}
file { 'users.control':
ensure => present,
content => "puppet managed",
require => File['users'],
}
The above code works ok, however I was wondering if there is a more elegant
solution.
Thanks,
Steve
