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>/man.text:: Manpage in Asciidoc format (nequired for inclusion into upstream) conf/type/<name>/manifest:: Used to generate additional objects from a type. conf/type/<name>/gencode-local:: Used to generate code to be executed on the server. conf/type/<name>/gencode-remote:: 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:: 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__*.text; do no_dir="${type#man7/}"; no_type="${no_dir#cdist-type}"; name="${no_type%.text}"; name_no_underline="$(echo $name | sed 's/^__/\\__/g')" man="${no_dir%.text}(7)" echo "- $name_no_underline" "($man)" done cat << eof OBJECTS ------- For object to object communication and tests, the following paths are usable within a object directory: changed:: This empty file exists in an object directory, if the object has code to be excuted (either remote or local) ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES --------------------- __debug:: If this variable is setup, cdist runs in debug mode. You can use this information, to only output stuff in debug mode as well. Available for: initial manifest, type manifest __explorer:: Directory that contains all global 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 gencode __object:: Directory that contains the current object. Available for: type manifest, type explorer, type gencode __object_id:: The type unique object id. Available for: type manifest, type explorer, type gencode __object_fq:: The full qualified name of the current object. Available for: type manifest, type explorer, type gencode __target_host:: The host we are deploying to. Available for: initial manifest, type manifest, type gencode __target_user:: User to use for authentication on remote host. Currently static in core. __type:: Path to the current type. Available for: type manifest, type gencode __type_explorer:: Directory that contains the type explorers.
