Re: [Puppet Users] how to pxe boot and preseed puppet-agent install in ubuntu from puppetlabs repo
Hi Peter, ever thought about trying Cobbler? In our environment, we PXE boot servers with Cobbler, install Xenial with a recent Puppet agent and automatically sign the certificate on the master for freshly deployed servers. Everything out of the box :) Hth, Tom.

I don't need OpenJDK > Well, before managing anything with Puppet, you need a working puppetserver. And puppetserver has a dependency on OpenJDK, because it's the only JDK shipped with Xenial. So, install puppetserver with OpenJDK and write your manifest to install Oracle's JDK later (you can safely install OpenJDK and Oracle JDK in parallel on Ubuntu). But the question remains, why would you want to install Oracle JDK on the puppetserver? Puppetserver works fine with OpenJDK on Xenial, been running it for 3-4 months now without a glitch.

With ensure = absent, Puppet reomves the mysql-server package, which also happened in your case, as the mysql-server package is no longer installed. The packages you see are libraries and other tools installed as a dependency for mysql-server or other packages. [...] i want to know how to set yum provider or package attribute to make package using yum command to remove mysql not rpm command. You don't, because it wouldn't make any difference. Yum basically is nothing more than a front-end for rpm, which handles remote repositories and dependency resolving. Under the hood, yum uses rpm for installing and removing packages.

That's not really a Puppet question, but a question every sysadmin has to answer himself. Which updates are applied in your environment with yum update, which services and files are affected by the updates, and so on. You probably should not use yum or Puppet, if you don't know what effect those tools can have on your environment.

Re: [Puppet Users] [newb] Using facts to control versions of modules?

I've heard that the goal is to move away from a

makes dev boxes get the new one and prod get the old one?
I'd say you're looking for directory environments:
https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/environments.html
E.g., you could have modules for prod nodes in
/etc/puppet/environments/production/modules,
and modules for dev nodes in
/etc/puppet/environments/development/modules.
When you assign your nodes to one of the defined environments, they will
load the
respective modules.

Sure, as long as the packages are supported by a provider. Take a look at the package provider reference for details: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/type.html#package Then ,can we schedule the command from puppet master ? You can use puppet kick to trigger an agent run from the master in Puppet 3.x. puppet kick is deprecated and no longer supported in Puppet 4.x though.

Well no, Puppet IS interpolating. It is interpolating the string value

an index. Try this:

I make it a general rule to _always_ use braces around variable
references in quoted strings, even where not strictly necessary. It is
harmless to do so, and it saves having to determine on a case by case
basis whether braces are needed.
Yes, of course, stupid me. Thanks for the heads up.
I wrote the test manifest properly and now the result is as expected.
Thx,

[Puppet Users] Variable interpolation failing with structured facts
Hi,
While implementing custom facts in our environment I did some
experimenting with structured
facts in our Puppet manifests. Puppet is 3.7.2, Facter is 2.3.0, Master
and Agent run on the
same VM, future parser is on and stringify_facts is disabled.
I failed at using one of my custom facts (an array of hashes) in Puppet
manifests,
so I did some tests with the os core fact and failed as well.
To debug my manifest I added these two notice() calls
notice($os[family])
notice($os[family])
and observed this output:
: (Scope(Class[Dummy])) RedHat
: (Scope(Class[Dummy])) {family = RedHat, name = CentOS, release =
{major = 6, minor = 5, full = 6.5}}[family]
This is kinda weird, it seems as if Puppet fails to interpolate
structured facts in double-quoted strings,
because both calls to notice() should output the same text, right?
Or did I miss something?
Cheers,
Tom.
