NAME
 | 
			
		||||
----
 | 
			
		||||
cdist-type - Functionality bundled
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
SYNOPSIS
 | 
			
		||||
--------
 | 
			
		||||
__TYPE ID --parameter value [--parameter value ...]
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
__TYPE --parameter value [--parameter value ...] (for singletons)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
DESCRIPTION
 | 
			
		||||
-----------
 | 
			
		||||
Types are the main component of cdist and define functionality. If you
 | 
			
		||||
use cdist, you'll write a type for every functionality you would like
 | 
			
		||||
to use.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
HOW TO USE A TYPE
 | 
			
		||||
-----------------
 | 
			
		||||
You can use types from the initial manifest or the type manifest like a
 | 
			
		||||
normal command:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
# Creates empty file /etc/cdist-configured
 | 
			
		||||
__file /etc/cdist-configured --type file
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# Ensure tree is installed
 | 
			
		||||
__package tree --state installed
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A list of supported types can be found in the cdist-reference(7) manpage.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
SINGLETON TYPES
 | 
			
		||||
---------------
 | 
			
		||||
If a type is flagged as a singleton, it may be used only
 | 
			
		||||
once per host. This is useful for types which can be used only once on a
 | 
			
		||||
system. Singleton types do not take an object name as argument.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Example:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
# __issue type manages /etc/issue
 | 
			
		||||
__issue
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# Probably your own type - singletons may use parameters
 | 
			
		||||
__myfancysingleton --colour green
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
HOW TO WRITE A NEW TYPE
 | 
			
		||||
-----------------------
 | 
			
		||||
A type consists of
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- parameter (optional)
 | 
			
		||||
- manifest  (optional)
 | 
			
		||||
- singleton (optional)
 | 
			
		||||
- explorer  (optional)
 | 
			
		||||
- gencode   (optional)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Types are stored below cdist/conf/type/. Their name should always be prefixed with
 | 
			
		||||
two underscores (__) to prevent collisions with other executables in $PATH.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To implement a new type, create the directory **cdist/conf/type/__NAME**.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
DEFINING PARAMETERS
 | 
			
		||||
-------------------
 | 
			
		||||
Every type consists of required, optional and boolean parameters, which must
 | 
			
		||||
each be declared in a newline separated file in ***parameter/required***,
 | 
			
		||||
***parameter/required_multiple***, ***parameter/optional***, 
 | 
			
		||||
***parameter/optional_multiple*** and ***parameter/boolean***.
 | 
			
		||||
Parameters which are allowed multiple times should be listed in
 | 
			
		||||
required_multiple or optional_multiple respectively. All other parameters
 | 
			
		||||
follow the standard unix behaviour "the last given wins".
 | 
			
		||||
If either is missing, the type will have no required, no optional, no boolean
 | 
			
		||||
or no parameters at all. 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Example:
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
echo servername >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/required
 | 
			
		||||
echo logdirectory >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional
 | 
			
		||||
echo server_alias >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional_multiple
 | 
			
		||||
echo use_ssl >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/boolean
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
USING PARAMETERS
 | 
			
		||||
----------------
 | 
			
		||||
The parameters given to a type can be accessed and used in all type scripts
 | 
			
		||||
(e.g manifest, gencode-*, explorer/*). Note that boolean parameters are
 | 
			
		||||
represented by file existence. File exists -> True,
 | 
			
		||||
file does not exist -> False
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Example: (e.g. in cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/manifest)
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
# required parameter
 | 
			
		||||
servername="$(cat "$__object/parameter/servername")"
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# optional parameter
 | 
			
		||||
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/logdirectory" ]; then
 | 
			
		||||
   logdirectory="$(cat "$__object/parameter/logdirectory")"
 | 
			
		||||
fi
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# boolean parameter
 | 
			
		||||
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/use_ssl" ]; then
 | 
			
		||||
   # file exists -> True
 | 
			
		||||
   # do some fancy ssl stuff
 | 
			
		||||
fi
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# parameter with multiple values
 | 
			
		||||
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/server_alias" ]; then
 | 
			
		||||
   for alias in $(cat "$__object/parameter/server_alias"); do
 | 
			
		||||
      echo $alias > /some/where/usefull
 | 
			
		||||
   done
 | 
			
		||||
fi
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
INPUT FROM STDIN
 | 
			
		||||
----------------
 | 
			
		||||
Every type can access what has been written on stdin when it has been called.
 | 
			
		||||
The result is saved into the ***stdin*** file in the object directory.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Example use of a type: (e.g. in cdist/conf/type/__archlinux_hostname)
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
__file /etc/rc.conf --source - << eof
 | 
			
		||||
...
 | 
			
		||||
HOSTNAME="$__target_host"
 | 
			
		||||
...
 | 
			
		||||
eof
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
If you have not seen this syntax (<< eof) before, it may help you to read
 | 
			
		||||
about "here documents".
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In the __file type, stdin is used as source for the file, if - is used for source:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
    if [ -f "$__object/parameter/source" ]; then
 | 
			
		||||
        source="$(cat "$__object/parameter/source")"
 | 
			
		||||
        if [ "$source" = "-" ]; then
 | 
			
		||||
            source="$__object/stdin"
 | 
			
		||||
        fi  
 | 
			
		||||
    ....
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
WRITING THE MANIFEST
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------
 | 
			
		||||
In the manifest of a type you can use other types, so your type extends
 | 
			
		||||
their functionality. A good example is the __package type, which in
 | 
			
		||||
a shortened version looks like this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
os="$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")"

case "$os" in
 |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
As you can see, the type can reference different environment variables,
 | 
			
		||||
which are documented in cdist-reference(7).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Always ensure the manifest is executable, otherwise cdist will not be able
 | 
			
		||||
to execute it. For more information about manifests see cdist-manifest(7).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
SINGLETON - ONE INSTANCE ONLY
 | 
			
		||||
-----------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
If you want to ensure that a type can only be used once per target, you can
 | 
			
		||||
mark it as a singleton: Just create the (empty) file "singleton" in your type
 | 
			
		||||
directory:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
touch cdist/conf/type/__NAME/singleton
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This will also change the way your type must be called:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
__YOURTYPE --parameter value
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
As you can see, the object ID is omitted, because it does not make any sense,
 | 
			
		||||
if your type can be used only once.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
THE TYPE EXPLORERS
 | 
			
		||||
------------------
 | 
			
		||||
If a type needs to explore specific details, it can provide type specific
 | 
			
		||||
explorers, which will be executed on the target for every created object.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The explorers are stored under the "explorer" directory below the type.
 | 
			
		||||
It could for instance contain code to check the md5sum of a file on the
 | 
			
		||||
client, like this (shortened version from the type __file):
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/destination" ]; then
 | 
			
		||||
   destination="$(cat "$__object/parameter/destination")"
 | 
			
		||||
else
 | 
			
		||||
   destination="/$__object_id"
 | 
			
		||||
fi
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
if [ -e "$destination" ]; then
 | 
			
		||||
   md5sum < "$destination"
 | 
			
		||||
fi
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
WRITING THE GENCODE SCRIPT
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
There are two gencode scripts: ***gencode-local*** and ***gencode-remote***.
 | 
			
		||||
The output of gencode-local is executed locally, whereas
 | 
			
		||||
the output of gencode-remote is executed on the target.
 | 
			
		||||
The gencode scripts can make use of the parameters, the global explorers
 | 
			
		||||
and the type specific explorers.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If the gencode scripts encounters an error, it should print diagnostic
 | 
			
		||||
messages to stderr and exit non-zero. If you need to debug the gencode
 | 
			
		||||
script, you can write to stderr:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
# Debug output to stderr
 | 
			
		||||
echo "My fancy debug line" >&2
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# Output to be saved by cdist for execution on the target
 | 
			
		||||
echo "touch /etc/cdist-configured"
 | 
			
		||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
HINTS FOR TYPEWRITERS
 | 
			
		||||
----------------------
 | 
			
		||||
It must be assumed that the target is pretty dumb and thus does not have high
 | 
			
		||||
level tools like ruby installed. If a type requires specific tools to be present
 | 
			
		||||
on the target, there must be another type that provides this tool and the first
 | 
			
		||||
type should create an object of the specific type.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If your type wants to save temporary data, that may be used by other types
 | 
			
		||||
later on (for instance __file), you can save them in the subdirectory
 | 
			
		||||
"files" below $__object (but you must create it yourself).
 | 
			
		||||
cdist will not touch this directory.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If your type contains static files, it's also recommended to place them in
 | 
			
		||||
a folder named "files" within the type (again, because cdist guarantees to
 | 
			
		||||
never ever touch this folder).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
HOW TO INCLUDE A TYPE INTO UPSTREAM CDIST
 | 
			
		||||
-----------------------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
If you think your type may be useful for others, ensure it works with the
 | 
			
		||||
current master branch of cdist and have a look at cdist-hacker(7) on
 | 
			
		||||
how to submit it.
 | 
			
		||||
