[Puppet Users] puppet 8.x not starting service properly on Windows [2019/2022]
I am having an issue, where any version of puppet 8 refuses to start "most" times using service manager. I am installing puppet manually from msi, quietly, or through internal choco packages. It does not matter. If I run puppet agent interactively, then puppet runs fine on version 8, in fact vastly superior to 7 in terms of performance. If I uninstall puppet 8 and fall back to ANY version of puppet 7.x the puppet service starts properly. I do not have any ability to get logs beyond: The Puppet Agent service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. I am really not sure how to further troubleshoot this. My hunch tells me, that something is broken within ruby 3.2, as it doesn't look like anything material changed in daemon.rb. I have opened up an issue here- [not sure if this is the proper] given all the perforce changes in issue tracking. https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet-agent/issues/2459 Thank you for all your help in advance!

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Is it possible to install actual OS using puppet?
the Puppet code by which you achieve the OS installation is totally different from what you would use to maintain any part of the installed system post installation, via a client running on it? Yes but within our gitrepo, using the same tooling and contributions via the same workflow and peer review. This provides transparency and you can in a matter of minutes see how the system is built.

So I have done a full os install using baremetal on a seemingly harder platform- windows. https://github.com/rismoney/puppet-baremetal-windows Now windows has a lot of nuances so it should be easier in theory to do something similar starting from *nix. In essence I use a linux pxe server to boot a live image of an os with puppet installed, and then all the config is deployed to get endpoint to make it as expected. Based on a facter fact I know my host is in build mode or not. Its awesome and a build takes 20 min with no razor, only pure puppet, as all build config is backed in hiera. Most of the repo is dedicated to reproducability of the entire solution whereas the execution a puppet code is relatively small to make the os how I want it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

That's mine :). I haven't followed up on it. Don't even know if it works... :( when I start doing svc mgmt I am going to need it and like you, will need the multi version capabilities. It was more of a copy paste initial idea at this point... On a side note, off topic but windows relevant: I have a bunch of providers at various stages of dev but need to round them all up into fully functional in the next few months. I have a few more on deck, including AD, both building it and managing it. The ones I need bad are file ACL and a reboot handler :( In other news, I am about to mark functional the baremetal build. I managed to inject puppet/facter into WinPE and can take a host through a fully unattended install of win2008r2 including manage unattend.xml as a file template.

The best part is I scripted the pe build, uses only native supported tooling so anyone who clones the repo can build the iso in 15 min themselves. I think it could be a game changer with some refinement, and could lure a lot of people away from massive sccm, wds, altiris or other commercial tooling. One tool. One module. Automated.

A fellow maintainer of chocolatey has packaged it here i think based on public downloads: https://github.com/mwrock/Chocolatey-Packages I have not yet open sourced our choco repo but I can probably sanitize the vstudio package and publish it if you like . It won't work without having the binaries obviously. I have not yet deployed it with puppet since I just started workstation puppet deployment, and deploying pkgs like vstudio is slow. But it should be trivial. Speaking of slow, I need to add prefetching to the choco provider.

Re: [Puppet Users] Windows Reboot
My idea on reboots is different. I don't think we should have puppet do the reboot. If we go down this road, we need autologon, credentials, runonce, and a subsequent puppet agent run among other things. Not ideal if a puppet agent service is running during business time. This is orchestration and not where puppet should not be trying to succeed. Originally I thought I needed a facter fact to determine if a reboot pending state existed, but the problem is that the facts are determined upfront. So if a resource triggers a state where a reboot is needed the fact is busted. I think we need a new embedded construct which can check the reboot state before processing every resource. It has to happen before it makes it to the provider since it should not be left to a provider author as it could apply to any resource. If this boolean goes true then every resource in that graph needs to be skipped. A meta param can be added to say reboot = force which can force a resource to be processed _despite_ the boolean. I also need way to stateful trigger reboot flag like a lockfile so I can do a bios upgrade. Actually _rebooting_ with puppet I am leery of.

Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet Support for Windows

Hi Josh,
First of all thanks for the quick reply.
The main priorities to make Puppet usable on Windows for us would be:
1 Control complete state of the DACL for grant (we don't use deny).
2 Control inheritance on DACL (at the same time as being able to control
other DACL grant entries for that object).
3 Control inheritance on SACL (we only set this at a higher level).
4 Set user account on Service.
It would also be good to have the following (although don't think it would
be a showstopper for adoption):
5 Control ACL on local SMB shares.
6 Control ACL on registry.
And finally the nice to haves:
7 (Nice to have) Set DACL on parent directory but inherit permissions on
all children when using source param with multiple levels of hierarchy.
8 (Nice to have) Set DACL on parent directory but inherit permissions on
all children when using recurse param.
Off the top of my head (not fully worked out all our requirements with the
devs yet) I don't think we control access to any other types of windows
object (e.g. service)
I did start having a dig in the Puppet code for the file type and all of
the building blocks are already there. I'm not sure how much effort it
would be to write an ntfsfile class but I have started having a play with
writing my own (in my spare time) but I've never written Ruby before so a
reasonable learning curve (not least just to understand the mass of file
and windows provider Puppet code let alone Ruby!). The permission setting
methods are all there (e.g. set_acl and get_acl from security.rb including
the protected parameter that i couldn't see a way of setting anywhere). My
plan was to replace the mode param on file.rb with a dacl param that could
take some form of friendly dacl description. The get_mode and set_mode
methods could then be changed to translate between friendly dacl and real
dacl rather than POSIX mode and dacl.
The friendly DACL would use something like the following to describe each
ACE:
ntfsfile { 'myfile.txt' :
require = file,
dacl = [
['user1', grant, [FULL_CONTROL]],
['user2', grant, [FILE_READ]],
['group1', grant, [FILE_READ, FILE_WRITE,
CHANGE_PERMISSIONS]],
['user3', deny, [FILE_READ, FILE_WRITE, FILE_EXECUTE]]
],
inheritparent = false,
source = 'puppet://modules/something/file.txt',
}

Re: [Puppet Users] Windows Puppet File Resource Getting Puppet Server's UNIX File Permissions
I am only speaking for windows permissions: But if you push the directory with recurse = true, what permissions would files get in that case? Permissions of the file on the master, or default permission for that scope? On Windows the answer is the permissions on the endpoint (no modification). Permissions are never copied from src to dest. Particularly sourcing from *nix, I would end up with a box of chocolateys I don't want to eat. I think you're confusing two unrelated dimensions. Whether the resource is recursive or not, if no mode (uid/gid) is declared for it then Puppet should not modify the mode (uid/gid) of *existing files* as part of managing that resource. This is standard Puppet behavior, and users should be able to rely on it. There are functional reasons to want it, too. No - don't want it. no mode, no perm change. Standard windows inheritance model. There is a completely separate question of what Puppet should do when it *creates a new file*: if the resource declaration does not specify a mode (uid/gid) then Puppet either must choose one by some other means. Its current behavior is to use the properties of the source file, which I actually think is fine, though issue 5240 raises questions about that behavior. Negative - not fine for windows. Never want the source mode to end up on the target. Bad settings = takeown = bad. Recursive File resources have long been a problematic area for Puppet. That's not a flaw in Puppet (unless you consider recursive Files themselves to be a misfeature); rather, it's inherent in the problem. The whole point of recursive File resources is to manage a bunch of files without declaring all the properties of each one individually. But then, you're not declaring the properties of each one individually. If you want fine control then you need something that carries all the needed data. The best alternative in most cases is either to manage Files separately or to package them up and manage them via the Package. On windows inheritance model works nicely. The security.rb and mode interpretation should not be applicable on windows. We need to rewrite perms to respect ntfs.

Re: [Puppet Users] Windows Puppet File Resource Getting Puppet Server's UNIX File Permissions
Permissions on the source should be irrelevant imho. Windows should always respect the destination inheritance, particularly if no mode is specified. Source perms are irrelevant imho. We need a proper permissions type and provider which can handle the ntfs acl style. Mode interpretation is just that - and not the way this should work. I looked at security.rb and just think this is just kludgey. I need to specify multiple users (ad sid lookup?), their perm, and their options. Not sure if it should be a part of file resource or a more generic security thing, since maybe it can apply to more than files... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

[Puppet Users] variable as a variable
Is it possible to do the following:
define mydefine($hash) {
notice(Heres an instance ${hash[instance]})
}
$pathtohash = \$module::params::hash01
#Then do:
@mydefine { $name: hash = $pathtohash}
It want it instantiate and peform equivlant to :
@mydefine { $name: hash = $module::params::hash01}
fwiw- I realize the virtuals later...
Can anyone help, not sure I understand the syntax around doing this.
Thanks,
rismoney

[Puppet Users] Re: variable as a variable
Most simple example $vari=\$modu:params::hash01 notice($vari) How can I make the notice enumerate the value stored in vari, not show the string value as above. vari is a constant in this primitive example. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
