given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

base: additional providers for Puppet base types

This module provides additional providers for Puppet base types 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.

See Puppet/Augeas pre-requisites.

Installing

The module can be installed easily (documentation):

puppet module install puppet/augeasproviders_base

Documentation and examples

Type documentation can be generated with puppet doc -r type or viewed on the Puppet Forge page.

host provider

This is a provider for a type distributed in Puppet core: host type reference.

The provider needs to be explicitly given as augeas to use augeasproviders.

manage simple entry

host { "example":
  ensure   => present,
  ip       => "192.168.1.1",
  provider => augeas,
}

manage entry with aliases and comment

host { "example":
  ensure       => present,
  ip           => "192.168.1.1",
  host_aliases => [ "foo-a", "foo-b" ],
  comment      => "test",
  provider     => augeas,
}

manage entry in another location

host { "example":
  ensure   => present,
  ip       => "192.168.1.1",
  target   => "/etc/anotherhosts",
  provider => augeas,
}

delete entry

host { "iridium":
  ensure   => absent,
  provider => augeas,
}

remove aliases

host { "iridium":
  ensure       => present,
  host_aliases => [],
  provider     => augeas,
}

remove comment

host { "argon":
  ensure   => present,
  comment  => "",
  provider => augeas,
}

mailalias provider

This is a provider for a type distributed in Puppet core: mailalias type reference.

The provider needs to be explicitly given as augeas to use augeasproviders.

manage simple entry

mailalias { "example":
  ensure    => present,
  recipient => "bar",
  provider  => augeas,
}

manage entry with multiple recipients

mailalias { "example":
  ensure    => present,
  recipient => [ "fred", "bob" ],
  provider  => augeas,
}

manage entry in another location

mailalias { "example":
  ensure    => present,
  recipient => "bar",
  target    => "/etc/anotheraliases",
  provider  => augeas,
}

delete entry

mailalias { "mailer-daemon":
  ensure   => absent,
  provider => augeas,
}
