NAME

|
||||||
|
cdist-reference - Variable, path and type reference
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
-----------
|
||||||
|
Various scripts which are not in the core need information on how
|
||||||
|
to find information. This manpage summarises the available environment
|
||||||
|
variables and paths and clearifies with part may access with 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/<name>:
|
||||||
|
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/<name>/::
|
||||||
|
Home of the type <name>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory is referenced by the variable __type (see below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
conf/type/<name>/manifest::
|
||||||
|
Used to generate additional objects from a type.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
conf/type/<name>/gencode::
|
||||||
|
Used to generate code to be executed on the client.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
conf/type/<name>/parameters/required::
|
||||||
|
Parameters required by type, \n seperated list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
conf/type/<name>/parameters/optional::
|
||||||
|
Parameters optionally accepted by type, \n seperated list.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
conf/type/<name>/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/<object>::
|
||||||
|
Contains all object specific information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This directory is referenced by the variable __object (see below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
out/object/<object>/explorers::
|
||||||
|
Output of type specific explorers, per object.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
tmp_dir: Temporary storage:
|
||||||
|
A tempdir and a tempfile is used by cdist internally,
|
||||||
|
which will be removed when the scripts end automatically.
|
||||||
|
See cdist-config(1).

||||||

||||||

FUTURE
|
|
||||||
------
|
|
||||||
The following functionality may be implemented in one of the next releases:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- cache_dir/
|
|
||||||
The cache contains the out_dir from previous runs, which
|
|
||||||
may also be used in types to gather information about other hosts
|
|
||||||
(like ssh-keys).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- cache_dir/host/<name>:
|
|
||||||
Contains the last out_dir of the specific host.
