DESCRIPTION
-----------
cdist is the frontend executable to the cdist configuration management.
It supports different subcommands as explained below.
It is written in Python so it requires :strong:`python`\ (1) to be installed.
It requires a minimal Python version 3.2.
GENERAL
-------
All commands accept the following options:
.. option:: -h, --help
Show the help screen
.. option:: -d, --debug
Set log level to debug (deprecated, use -vvv instead)
.. option:: -v, --verbose
Increase the verbosity level. Every instance of -v increments the verbosity
level by one. Its default value is 0. There are 4 levels of verbosity. The
order of levels from the lowest to the highest are: ERROR (0), WARNING (1),
INFO (2) and DEBUG (3 or higher).
.. option:: -V, --version
Show version and exit
BANNER
------
Displays the cdist banner. Useful for printing
cdist posters - a must have for every office.
CONFIG/INSTALL
--------------
Configure/install one or more hosts.
.. option:: -A, --all-tagged
use all hosts present in tags db
.. option:: -a, --all
list hosts that have all specified tags, if -t/--tag
is specified
.. option:: -b, --beta
Enable beta functionalities.
Can also be enabled using CDIST_BETA env var.
.. option:: -C CACHE_PATH_PATTERN, --cache-path-pattern CACHE_PATH_PATTERN
Sepcify custom cache path pattern. It can also be set by
CDIST_CACHE_PATH_PATTERN environment variable. If it is not set then
default hostdir is used. For more info on format see
:strong:`CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT` below.
.. option:: -c CONF_DIR, --conf-dir CONF_DIR
Add a configuration directory. Can be specified multiple times.
If configuration directories contain conflicting types, explorers or
manifests, then the last one found is used. Additionally this can also
be configured by setting the CDIST_PATH environment variable to a colon
delimited list of config directories. Directories given with the
--conf-dir argument have higher precedence over those set through the
environment variable.
.. option:: -f HOSTFILE, --file HOSTFILE
Read additional hosts to operate on from specified file
or from stdin if '-' (each host on separate line).
If no host or host file is specified then, by default,
read hosts from stdin. For the file format see
:strong:`HOSTFILE FORMAT` below.
.. option:: -I INVENTORY_DIR, --inventory INVENTORY_DIR
Use specified custom inventory directory. Inventory
directory is set up by the following rules: if this
argument is set then specified directory is used, if
CDIST_INVENTORY_DIR env var is set then its value is
used, if HOME env var is set then ~/.cdit/inventory is
used, otherwise distribution inventory directory is
used.
.. option:: -i MANIFEST, --initial-manifest MANIFEST
Path to a cdist manifest or - to read from stdin
.. option:: -j [JOBS], --jobs [JOBS]
Specify the maximum number of parallel jobs; currently only
global explorers are supported (currently in beta)
.. option:: -n, --dry-run
Do not execute code
.. option:: -o OUT_PATH, --out-dir OUT_PATH
Directory to save cdist output in
.. option:: -p, --parallel
Operate on multiple hosts in parallel
.. option:: -s, --sequential
Operate on multiple hosts sequentially (default)
.. option:: --remote-copy REMOTE_COPY
Command to use for remote copy (should behave like scp)
.. option:: --remote-exec REMOTE_EXEC
Command to use for remote execution (should behave like ssh)
.. option:: -t, --tag
host is specified by tag, not hostname/address; list
all hosts that contain any of specified tags
HOSTFILE FORMAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOSTFILE contains hosts per line.
All characters after and including '#' until the end of line is a comment.
In a line, all leading and trailing whitespace characters are ignored.
Empty lines are ignored/skipped.
Hostfile line is processed like the following. First, all comments are
removed. Then all leading and trailing whitespace characters are stripped.
If such a line results in empty line it is ignored/skipped. Otherwise,
host string is used.
CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cache path pattern specifies path for a cache directory subdirectory.
In the path, '%N' will be substituted by the target host, '%h' will
be substituted by the calculated host directory, '%P' will be substituted
by the current process id. All format codes that
:strong:`python` :strong:`datetime.strftime()` function supports, except
'%h', are supported. These date/time directives format cdist config/install
start time.
If empty pattern is specified then default calculated host directory
is used.
Calculated host directory is a hash of a host cdist operates on.
Resulting path is used to specify cache path subdirectory under which
current host cache data are saved.

FILES
-----
~/.cdist
Your personal cdist config directory. If exists it will be
automatically used.
~/.cdist/inventory
The home inventory directory. If ~/.cdist exists it will be used as
default inventory directory.
~/.cdist/preos
PreOS plugins directory, if existing.
cdist/conf
The distribution configuration directory. It contains official types and
explorers. This path is relative to cdist installation directory.
cdist/inventory
The distribution inventory directory.
This path is relative to cdist installation directory.
cdist/preos
The distribution PreOS plugins directory.
NOTES
-----
cdist detects if host is specified by IPv6 address. If so then remote_copy
command is executed with host address enclosed in square brackets
(see :strong:`scp`\ (1)).

CDIST_REMOTE_EXEC
Use this command for remote execution (should behave like ssh).
CDIST_REMOTE_COPY
Use this command for remote copy (should behave like scp).

CAVEATS
-------
When operating in parallel, either by operating in parallel for each host
(-p/--parallel) or by parallel jobs within a host (-j/--jobs), and depending
on target SSH server and its configuration you may encounter connection drops.
This is controlled with sshd :strong:`MaxStartups` configuration options.
You may also encounter session open refusal. This happens with ssh multiplexing
when you reach maximum number of open sessions permitted per network
connection. In this case ssh will disable multiplexing.
This limit is controlled with sshd :strong:`MaxSessions` configuration
options. For more details refer to :strong:`sshd_config`\ (5).
When requirements for the same object are defined in different manifests (see
example below), for example, in init manifest and in some other type manifest
and those requirements differ then dependency resolver cannot detect
dependencies right. This happens because cdist cannot prepare all objects first
and run all objects afterwards. Some object can depend on the result of type
explorer(s) and explorers are executed during object run. cdist will detect
such case and write warning message. Example for such a case:
.. code-block:: sh
init manifest:
__a a
require="__e/e" __b b
require="__f/f" __c c
__e e
__f f
require="__c/c" __d d
__g g
__h h
type __g manifest:
require="__c/c __d/d" __a a
Warning message:
WARNING: cdisttesthost: Object __a/a already exists with requirements:
/usr/home/darko/ungleich/cdist/cdist/test/config/fixtures/manifest/init-deps-resolver /tmp/tmp.cdist.test.ozagkg54/local/759547ff4356de6e3d9e08522b0d0807/data/conf/type/__g/manifest: set()
/tmp/tmp.cdist.test.ozagkg54/local/759547ff4356de6e3d9e08522b0d0807/data/conf/type/__g/manifest: {'__c/c', '__d/d'}
Dependency resolver could not handle dependencies as expected.
