2.8 quality score

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.

silverstripe/servicetools — version 1.1.0 Oct 23rd 2018

Puppet Servicetools

Provides resources for standardised installation of arbitrary binaries, including daemonising them through systemd. Designed to work well with hiera - you can install binaries without needing to write custom puppet manifests.

Hiera usage

To improve composability, the module does NOT make assumptions on how your keys are named in hiera, and does not create_resources for you. Map the resources to hiera keys:

create_resources(servicetools::install_file, hiera('servicetools::install_file', {}))
create_resources(servicetools::install_localfile, hiera('servicetools::install_localfile', {}))
create_resources(servicetools::install_deb, hiera('servicetools::install_deb', {}))
create_resources(servicetools::install_tgz, hiera('servicetools::install_tgz', {}))
create_resources(servicetools::install_systemd_unit, hiera('servicetools::install_systemd_unit', {}))

Now you can use hiera to provision arbitrary resources:

servicetools::install_tgz:
  "/usr/local/bin/discombobulator":
    source: "https://github.com/reticulant/discombobulator/releases/download/0.1/discombobulator_0.1_linux_amd64.tar.gz"
servicetools::install_systemd_unit:
  "discombobulator":
    service_options:
      ExecStart: "/usr/local/bin/discombobulator --reticulate-splines --calibrate-blue-skies"
      Restart: "on-failure"
      RestartSec: "5"
    service_ensure: "stopped"
    service_enable: true
