Welcome to the interactive guide to cdist!
|
|
||||||
This is the interactive tutorial and beginners help for cdist and here's
|
|
||||||
our schedule:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Stages: How cdist operates
|
|
||||||
- Explorer: Explore facts of the target host
|
|
||||||
- Manifest: Map configurations to hosts
|
|
||||||
- Types: Bundled functionality
|
|
||||||
- Deploy a configuration to the local host!

# Stages
|
|

#
|
|
||||||
cat << eof
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To deploy configurations to a host, you call
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cdist-deploy-to <hostname>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
which makes calls to other scripts, which realise the so called "stages".
|
|
||||||
Usually you'll not notice this, but in case you want to debug or hack cdist,
|
|
||||||
you can run each stage on its own. Besides that, you just need to remember
|
|
||||||
that the command cdist-deploy-to is the main cdist command.

# Explorer
|
|
||||||
#
|
|
||||||
cat << eof
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The first thing cdist always does is running different explorers on the
|
|
||||||
target host. The explorers can be found in the directory
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
${__cdist_explorer_dir}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
An explorer is executed on the target host and its output is saved to a file.
|
|
||||||
You can use these files later to decide what or how to configure the host.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For a demonstration, we'll call the OS explorer locally now, but remember:
|
|
||||||
This is only for demonstration, normally it is run on the target host.
|
|
||||||
The os explorer will which either displays the detected operating system or
|
|
||||||
nothing if it does not know your OS.

# Manifest
|
|
||||||
#
|
|
||||||
cat << eof
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The initial manifest is the entry point for cdist to find out, what you would
|
|
||||||
like to have configured. It is located at
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
${__cdist_manifest_init}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And can be as simple as
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
__file /etc/cdist-configured --type file
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|
||||||

|
||||||

|
|
||||||
__prompt "$continue"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cat << eof
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Let's take a deeper look at the initial manifest to understand what it means:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
__file /etc/cdist-configured --type file
|
|
||||||
| | | \\
|
|
||||||
| | The parameter type \\ With the value file
|
|
||||||
| |
|
|
||||||
| |
|
|
||||||
| | This is the object id
|
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||||
__file is a so called "type"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This essentially looks like a standard command executed in the shell.
|
|
||||||
eof
|
|
||||||
__prompt "$continue"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cat << eof
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And that's exactly true. Manifests are shell snippets that can use
|
|
||||||
types as commands with arguments. cdist prepends a special path
|
|
||||||
that contain links to the cdist-type-emulator, to \$PATH, so you
|
|
||||||
can use your types as a command.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is also the reason why types should always be prefixed with
|
|
||||||
"__", to prevent collisions with existing binaries.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The object id is unique per type and used to prevent you from creating
|
|
||||||
the same object twice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Parameters are type specific and are always specified as --parameter <value>.

# Types
|

#
|
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Types are bundled functionality and are the main component of cdist.
|
|
||||||
If you want to have a feature x, you write the type __x. Types are stored in
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
${__cdist_type_dir}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And cdist ships with some types already!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||

|
||||||
cdist-type(7)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
__prompt "Press enter to see available types"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
set -x
|
|
||||||
ls ${__cdist_type_dir}
|
|
||||||
set +x
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cat << eof
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Types consist of the following parts:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ${__cdist_name_parameter} (${__cdist_name_parameter_required}/${__cdist_name_parameter_optional}
|
|
||||||
- ${__cdist_name_manifest}
|
|
||||||
- ${__cdist_name_explorer}
|
|
||||||
- ${__cdist_name_gencode}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
eof
|
|
||||||
__prompt "$continue"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cat << eof
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every type must have a directory named ${__cdist_name_parameter}, which
|
|
||||||
contains required or optional parameters (in newline seperated files).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If an object of a specific type was created in the initial manifest,
|
|
||||||
the manifest of the type is run and may create other objects.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A type may have ${__cdist_name_explorer}, which are very similar to the
|
|
||||||
${__cdist_name_explorer} seen above, but with a different purpose:
|
|
||||||
They are specific to the type and are not relevant for other types.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may use them for instance to find out details on the target host,
|
|
||||||
so you can decide what to do on the target host eventually.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After the ${__cdist_name_manifest} and the ${__cdist_name_explorer} of
|
|
||||||
a type have been run, ${__cdist_name_gencode} is executed, which creates
|
|
||||||
code to be executed on the target on stdout.

Now you've got some basic knowledge about cdist, let's configure your a host!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ensure that you have a ssh server running on the host and that you can login as root.
