This manpage summarises the available environment variables, types and paths and clearifies with part may access which variables. PATHS ----- If not specified otherwise, all paths are relative to the checkout directory. conf/:: Contains the (static) configuration like manifests, types and explorers. conf/manifest/init:: This is the central entry point used by cdist-manifest-init(1). It is an executable (+x bit set) shell script that can use values from the explorers to decide which configuration to create for the specified target host. It should be primary used to define mapping from configurations to hosts. conf/manifest/*:: All other files in this directory are not directly used by cdist, but you can seperate configuration mappings, if you have a lot of code in the manifest/init file. This may also be very helpful to have different admins maintain different groups of hosts. conf/explorer/:: Contains explorers to be run on the target hosts, see cdist-explorer(7). conf/type/:: Contains all available types, which are used to provide some kind of functionality. See cdist-type(7). conf/type//:: Home of the type . This directory is referenced by the variable __type (see below). conf/type//man.text:: Manpage in Asciidoc format (nequired for inclusion into upstream) conf/type//manifest:: Used to generate additional objects from a type. conf/type//gencode:: Used to generate code to be executed on the client. conf/type//parameters/required:: Parameters required by type, \n seperated list. conf/type//parameters/optional:: Parameters optionally accepted by type, \n seperated list. conf/type//explorer:: Location of the type specific explorers. This directory is referenced by the variable __type_explorer (see below). See cdist-explorer(7). out/:: This directory contains output of cdist and is usually located in a temporary directory and thus will be removed after the run. This directory is referenced by the variable __global (see below). out/explorer:: Output of general explorers. out/object:: Objects created for the host. out/object/:: Contains all object specific information. This directory is referenced by the variable __object (see below). out/object//explorers:: Output of type specific explorers, per object. tmp_dir:: A tempdir and a tempfile is used by cdist internally, which will be removed when the scripts end automatically. See cdist-config(1). TYPES ----- The following types are available: eof for type in man7/cdist-type__*; do name_1="${type#man7/cdist-type}" name_2="${name_1%.7}" name="$name_2" echo "- $name" done cat << eof VARIABLES --------- __explorer:: Directory that contains all explorers. Available for: explorer __manifest:: Directory that contains the initial manifest. Available for: initial manifest __global:: Directory that contains generic output like explorer. Available for: initial manifest, type manifest, type explorer, type codegen __object:: Directory that contains the current object. Available for: type manifest, type explorer, type codegen __object_id:: The type unique object id. Available for: type manifest, type explorer, type codegen __target_host:: The host we are deploying to. Available for: initial manifest, type manifest, type codegen __type:: Path to the current type. Available for: type manifest __type_explorers:: Directory that contains the type explorers. Available for: type explorer SEE ALSO -------- - cdist(7) eof for type in man7/cdist-type__*; do name_1="${type#man7/}" name_2="${name_1%.7}" name="$name_2" echo "- ${name}(7)" done cat <
