Overview

This is a SIMP module

Please read our [Contribution Guide] (https://simp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contributors_guide/index.html).

Module Description

Provides a Hiera-friendly interface to GRUB configuration activities.

Currently supports setting administrative GRUB passwords on both GRUB 2 and legacy GRUB systems.

See REFERENCE.md for more details.

See herculesteam/augeasproviders_grub for additional information on GRUB management.

Setup

What simp_grub affects

simp_grub helps manage the GRUB configuration on your systems.

Usage

Simply include simp_grub and set the simp_grub::password parameter to password protect GRUB.

GRUB2

You must set the administrative username on GRUB2 systems.

Example: Set the admin username:

---
simp_grub::admin: my_admin_username

Passwords that are not in PBKDF2 format will be encrypted for you.

Legacy GRUB

On legacy systems, password entries that do not start with $1$, $5$, or $6$ will be encrypted for you.

Limitations

SIMP Puppet modules are generally intended to be used on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux-compatible distributions.

See metadata.json for the full list of supported operating systems.

Development

Please read our [Contribution Guide] (https://simp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contributors_guide/index.html).

Unit tests

Unit tests, written in rspec-puppet can be run by calling:

bundle exec rake spec

Acceptance tests

To run the system tests, you need Vagrant installed. Then, run:

bundle exec rake beaker:suites

Some environment variables may be useful:

BEAKER_debug=true
BEAKER_provision=no
BEAKER_destroy=no
BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes
  • BEAKER_debug: show the commands being run on the STU and their output.
  • BEAKER_destroy=no: prevent the machine destruction after the tests finish so you can inspect the state.
  • BEAKER_provision=no: prevent the machine from being recreated. This can save a lot of time while you're writing the tests.
  • BEAKER_use_fixtures_dir_for_modules=yes: cause all module dependencies to be loaded from the spec/fixtures/modules directory, based on the contents of .fixtures.yml. The contents of this directory are usually populated by bundle exec rake spec_prep. This can be used to run acceptance tests to run on isolated networks.
