apt

Overview

The apt module provides a simple interface for managing Apt source, key, and definitions with Puppet.

Module Description

The apt module automates obtaining and installing software packages on *nix systems.

Note: While this module allows the use of short keys, warnings are thrown if a full fingerprint is not used, as they pose a serious security issue by opening you up to collision attacks.

Setup

What apt affects:

• Package/service/configuration files for Apt
• Your system's sources.list file and sources.list.d directory
• System repositories
• Authentication keys

Beginning with apt

To begin using the apt module with default parameters, declare the class with include apt.

Any Puppet code that uses anything from the apt module requires that the core apt class be declared.

Usage

Using the apt module consists predominantly of declaring classes and defined types that provide the desired functionality and features. This module provides common resources and options that are shared by the various defined types in the apt module, so you must always include this class in your manifests.

class { 'apt': }

Reference

Classes

• apt: Main class, provides common resources and options. Allows Puppet to manage your system's sources.list file and sources.list.d directory. By default, it will not purge existing content it finds that wasn't declared with Puppet.

  • apt::backports: This class adds the necessary components to get backports for Ubuntu and Debian. The release name defaults to "$lsbdistcodename-backports". Setting this manually can cause undefined and potentially serious behavior.

    By default, this class drops a pin-file for backports, pinning it to a priority of 200. This is lower than the normal Debian archive, which gets a priority of 500 to ensure that packages with ensure => latest don't get magically upgraded from backports without your explicit permission.

    If you raise the priority through the pin parameter to 500---identical to the rest of the Debian mirrors---normal policy goes into effect, and Apt installs or upgrades to the newest version. This means that if a package is available from backports, it and its dependencies are pulled in from backports unless you explicitly set the ensure attribute of the package resource to installed/present or a specific version.

• apt::params: Sets defaults for the apt module parameters.

• apt::update: Runs apt-get update, updating the list of available packages and their versions without installing or upgrading any packages. The update runs on the first Puppet run after you include the class, then whenever notify => Exec['apt_update'] occurs; i.e., whenever config files get updated or other relevant changes occur. If you set update['frequency'] to 'always', the update runs on every Puppet run.

Types

• apt_key

  A native Puppet type and provider for managing GPG keys for Apt is provided by this module.

  apt_key { 'puppetlabs':
    ensure => 'present',
    id     => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
  }
  

  You can additionally set the following attributes:

  • source: HTTP, HTTPS or FTP location of a GPG key or path to a file on the target host.
  • content: Instead of pointing to a file, pass the key in as a string.
  • server: The GPG key server to use. It defaults to keyserver.ubuntu.com.
  • options: Additional options to pass to apt-key's --keyserver-options.

Defined Types

• apt::conf: Specifies a custom configuration file. The priority defaults to 50, but you can set the priority parameter to load the file earlier or later. The content parameter passes specified content, if any, into the file resource.

• apt::key: Adds a key to the list of keys used by Apt to authenticate packages. This type uses the aforementioned apt\_key native type. As such, it no longer requires the wget command on which the old implementation depended.

  apt::key { 'puppetlabs':
    id     => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
    server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
  }
  
  apt::key { 'jenkins':
    id     => '150FDE3F7787E7D11EF4E12A9B7D32F2D50582E6',
    source => 'http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key',
  }
  

• apt::pin: Defined type that adds an Apt pin for a certain release.

  apt::pin { 'karmic': priority => 700 }
  apt::pin { 'karmic-updates': priority => 700 }
  apt::pin { 'karmic-security': priority => 700 }
  

  Note that you can also specify more complex pins using distribution properties.

  apt::pin { 'stable':
    priority        => -10,
    originator      => 'Debian',
    release_version => '3.0',
    component       => 'main',
    label           => 'Debian'
  }
  

  If you want to pin a number of packages, you can specify the packages as a space-delimited string using the packages attribute, or you can pass in an array of package names.

• apt::ppa: Adds a PPA repository using add-apt-repository. For example, apt::ppa { 'ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa': }.

• apt::setting: Defined type to abstract the creation of Apt configuration files.

• apt::source: Adds an Apt source to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. For example:

  apt::source { 'debian_unstable':
    comment  => 'This is the iWeb Debian unstable mirror',
    location => 'http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/',
    release  => 'unstable',
    repos    => 'main contrib non-free',
    pin      => '-10',
    key      => {
      'id'     => 'A1BD8E9D78F7FE5C3E65D8AF8B48AD6246925553',
      'server' => 'subkeys.pgp.net',
    },
    include  => {
      'src' => true,
      'deb' => true,
    },
  }
  

  For example, to configure your system so the source is the Puppet Labs Apt repository:

  apt::source { 'puppetlabs':
    location => 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com',
    repos    => 'main',
    key      => {
      'id'     => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
      'server' => 'pgp.mit.edu',
    },
  

Facts

The apt module includes a few facts to describe the state of the Apt system:

• apt\_updates: The number of updates available on the system
• apt\_security\_updates: The number of updates which are security updates
• apt\_package\_updates: The package names that are available for update. In Facter 2.0 and later, this will be a list type; in earlier versions, it is a comma-delimited string.
• apt\_update\_last\_success: The date, in epochtime, of the most recent successful apt-get update run. This is determined by reading the mtime of /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp.

Note: The facts depend on 'update-notifier' being installed on your system. Though this is a GNOME daemon only the support files are needed so the package 'update-notifier-common' is enough to enable this functionality.

Hiera example

apt::sources:
  'debian_unstable':
    location: 'http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/'
    release: 'unstable'
    repos: 'main contrib non-free'
    key:
      id: '9AA38DCD55BE302B'
      server: 'subkeys.pgp.net'
    pin: '-10'
    include:
      src: true
      deb: true

  'puppetlabs':
    location: 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com'
    repos: 'main'
    key:
      id: '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30'
      server: 'pgp.mit.edu'

Development

Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can't access the huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.

We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

You can read the complete module contribution guide on the Puppet Labs wiki.
