cdist-type__rsyncer(7)
======================
Use rsync to copy files.
Daniel Maher <phrawzty+cdist at gmail.com>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This type is used to trigger rsync to copy files from the machine running cdist
(source) to the target machine in question (destination). The likely usage is
the rapid deployment of full directory trees, the cohorency of which can be
guarunteed with the optional --delete argument, which will remove any files
from the destination which are not present on the source.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
source
The full path of the source from which to copy. This is passed directly
to rsync.
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
destination
The full path of the destination. This is passed directly to rsync.
Default: object_id
delete
If true, remove files from destination which are not in source. This is
effectively the --delete argument of rsync.
Default: false
rsyncbin
Specify the full path to the rsync binary.
Default: `which rsync`
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Basic example
__rsyncer '/home/foo' --source '/opt/dist/foo'
# Fancier example
__rsyncer FOO --source '/opt/dist/foo' --destination '/home/foo/' --delete true
