Defined Type: tp::conf

Defined in:
manifests/conf.pp

Overview

This define manages configuration files for the application named in the used title.. It can manage the content of the managed files using different methods (source, template, epp, content) The actual path of the managed configuration files is determined by various elements:

  • If the path parameter is explicitly set, that’s always the path used

    tp::conf { ‘openssh::root_config’:

    path                => '/root/.ssh/config', # This is the path of the managed file
    content             => template('site/openssh/root_config.erb'),
    

    }

  • If path parameter is not set and the title contains only the app name, which is the basic and most direct usage, then it’s managed the *main configuration file* of the application, as defined by the variable config_file_path in the tp/data/$app directory according to the underlying OS.

    tp::conf { ‘openssh’: # Path is defined by tp $settings

    template            => 'site/openssh/sshd_config.erb',
    

    }

  • When the base_file parameter is specified the path of the managed file is # looked in the value of the key $base_file_file_path in the tp/data/$app directory tp::conf { ‘openssh’: # Path is defined by tp $settings

    template            => 'site/openssh/init.erb',
    base_file           => 'init',
    

    }

  • When the title has a format like: app::file and no base_dir is set the path is composed using the app’s *main configuration directory* and the file name used in the second part of the title (after the ::)

    tp::conf { ‘openssh::ssh_config’: # Path is $settings/ssh_config

    template            => 'site/openssh/ssh_config.erb',
    

    }

  • When the title has a format like: app::file it’s also possible to specify, with the base_dir parameter, the directory where to place the file:

    tp::conf { ‘apache::example42.com.conf’:

    template            => 'site/apache/example42.com.conf.erb',
    base_dir            => 'conf',
    

    } Path is: $settings/example42.com.conf

See below for more examples.

(/etc/ssh/sshd_config) using a template

tp::conf { 'openssh':
  template            => 'site/openssh/sshd_config',
  options_hash        => lookup('openssh::options_hash'),
}

a static source

tp::conf { 'openssh::ssh_config':
  source              => 'puppet:///modules/site/openssh/ssh_config',
}

in directory called conf.d or *.d ). Note that here is used as $base_dir ‘conf’ instead of the default ‘config’. For example with Apache on RedHat: ‘config’ dir is ‘/etc/httpd’ ‘conf’ dir is ‘/etc/httpd/conf.d’ Other “common” base_dir values are ‘log’, ‘data’ but actually any value can be used as long as there’s a corresponding key in the TP settings data.

tp::conf { 'rsyslog::logserver':
  content             => "*.* @@syslog.example42.com\n",
  base_dir            => 'conf',
}

explicit path given and the content populated via a Puppet epp template. In this case the title is not used for any specific purpose, but it should have a unique name and refer to the relevat app in the first part of the title (before ::)

tp::conf { 'openssh::root_config': # Title must be unique
  path                => '/root/.ssh/config',
  epp                 => 'site/openssh/root/config.epp',
  mode                => '0640',
}

changes

tp::conf { 'nginx':
  config_file_notify  => false,
}

By default, if relevant tinydata is present, config files are checked. Use this to disable unwanted validation commands

tp::conf { 'apache::my_vhost.conf':
  validate_syntax => false,
  base_dir        => 'vhost,
  source          => puppet:///modules/profile/apache/my_vhost.conf',
}

Examples:

management of openssh main configuration file

management of openssh client file (/etc/ssh/ssh_config) using

direct management of the content of a file


tp::conf { 'motd':
  content             => "Welcome to ${::fqdn}\n",
}

management of a .conf file (configuration files placed typically

management of a file related to openssh with an

when no automatic service restart is triggered by configuration file

to customise notify and require dependencies


tp::conf { 'nginx::nginx_fe.conf':
  config_file_notify  => 'Service[fe_nginx]',
  config_file_require => 'Class[site::fe::nginx]',
}

to disable validation for a configuration file

to validate a configuration with a custom command


tp::conf { 'apache::my_vhost':
  settings            => {
    validate_cmd      => '/usr/local/bin/check_apache_vhost',
  },
}

Parameters:

  • ensure (String[1]) (defaults to: present)

    Defines the status of the file: present or absent.

  • path (Variant[Undef,String]) (defaults to: undef)

    The actual path of the file to manage. When this is set, it takes precedence over any other automatic paths definition.

  • source (Variant[Undef,String,Array]) (defaults to: undef)

    Source of the file to use. Used in the managed file as follows: source => $source, This parameter is alternative to content, template and epp.

  • template (Variant[Undef,String,Array]) (defaults to: undef)

    Template (epp or erb) to use for the content of the file. Used as follows: If template value has a suffix .epp: content => epp($template), in all the other not undef cases, used as follows: content => template($template), This parameter is alternative to content, source and epp.

  • epp (Variant[Undef,String]) (defaults to: undef)

    Epp Template to use for the content of the file. Used as follows: content => epp($epp), This parameter is alternative to content, source and template.

  • content (Variant[Undef,String]) (defaults to: undef)

    Content of the file. Used as follows: content => $content, This parameter is alternative to source, and has priority over template and epp.

  • base_dir (String[1]) (defaults to: 'config')

    Type of the directory where to place the file, when a path is not explicitly set. This name must have a corresponding entry in TP data with a key named $base_dir_dir_path. The default ‘config’ value maps to the key config_dir_path Common names are:

    'config' (default) - The app main configuration dir path
    'conf' - The app conf.d dir where config files can be added
    'log' - The app logs' directory
    

    Each app may have additional names accoring to eventual specific settings.

  • base_file (String[1]) (defaults to: 'config')

    Type of the file managed, when a path is not explicitly set. This name must have a corresponding entry in TP data with a key named $base_file_file_path. The default ‘config’ value maps to the key config_file_path Common names are:

    'config' (default) - The app main configuration file path
    'init' - The path of the script that configures init, for that app
    'log' - The path of the app's log (can be an array)
    'pid' - The path of the app's pid file
    

    Each app may have additional names accoring to eventual specific settings.

  • validate_syntax (Variant[Undef,Boolean]) (defaults to: undef)

    If to validate the syntax of the file before applying it. By default this is done if there’s the relevant $settings tinydata. Set to false if you have errors in validation of a (good) provided configuration file.

  • options_hash (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    Generic hash of configuration parameters specific for the app that can be used in the provided erb or epp templates respectively as @options_hash or $options_hash,

  • settings_hash (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    An hash that can override the application settings tp returns, according to the underlying Operating System and the default behaviour.

  • mode (Variant[Undef,String]) (defaults to: undef)

    Parameter mode for the managed file resource. By default is defined according to app and OS, the same applies for the following params.

  • owner (Variant[Undef,String]) (defaults to: undef)

    Parameter owner for the managed file resource. The default value for the underlying OS is automatically found by tp.

  • group (Variant[Undef,String]) (defaults to: undef)

    Parameter group for the managed file resource. The default value for the underlying OS is automatically found by tp.

  • config_file_notify (Variant[Boolean,String]) (defaults to: true)

    By default changes in the managed file trigger a service restart of the app in the title. Set to false to avoid any restart of set the name of a Puppet resource to notify. (Ex: Service).

  • config_file_require (Variant[Boolean,String]) (defaults to: true)

    By default the file managed requires the app package, if tp::install has not been used to install the app, you may have references to an unknown resource. Set this to false to not set any dependency, or define a resource to require before managing the file (Ex: Package).

  • debug (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    If set to true it prints debug information for tp into the directory set in debug_dir

  • debug_dir (String[1]) (defaults to: '/tmp')

    The directory where tp stores debug info, if enabled.

  • data_module (String[1]) (defaults to: 'tinydata')

    Name of the module where tp data is looked for Default is tinydata: github.com/example42/tinydata

  • on_missing_data (Tp::Fail) (defaults to: pick(getvar('tp::on_missing_data'),'notify'))
  • my_settings (Hash) (defaults to: {})
  • my_options (Hash) (defaults to: {})
  • use_v4 (Boolean) (defaults to: pick(getvar('tp::use_v4'),false))
