We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

ssh: type/provider for ssh files for Puppet

This module provides a new type/provider for Puppet to read and modify ssh config files using the Augeas configuration library.

The advantage of using Augeas over the default Puppet parsedfile implementations is that Augeas will go to great lengths to preserve file formatting and comments, while also failing safely when needed.

This provider will hide all of the Augeas commands etc., you don't need to know anything about Augeas to make use of it.

Requirements

Ensure both Augeas and ruby-augeas 0.3.0+ bindings are installed and working as normal. Both are usually bundled in the puppet agent AIO packages from Puppet Inc.

See Puppet/Augeas pre-requisites.

Installing

The module can be installed easily (documentation):

puppet module install puppet/augeasproviders_ssh

Ensure the module is present in your puppetmaster's own environment (it doesn't have to use it) and that the master has pluginsync enabled. Run the agent on the puppetmaster to cause the custom types to be synced to its local libdir (puppet master --configprint libdir) and then restart the puppetmaster so it loads them.

Compatibility

Puppet versions

In theory. Puppet 2.7 is the minimal version. We currently (2022-08-29) we test against Puppet 6 and 7. Check the Puppet version range in metadata.json for supported versions.
