-cdist-type__haproxy_dualstack(7)
-================================
-
-
-NAME
-----
-cdist-type__haproxy_dualstack - Proxy services from a dual-stack server
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-This (singleton) type installs and configures haproxy to act as a dual-stack
-proxy for single-stack services.
-
-This can be useful to add IPv4 support to IPv6-only services while only using
-one IPv4 for many such services.
-
-By default this type uses the plain TCP proxy mode, which means that there is no
-need for TLS termination on this host when SNI is supported.
-This also means that proxied services will not receive the client's IP address,
-but will see the proxy's IP address instead (that of `$__target_host`).
-
-This can be solved by using the PROXY protocol, but do take into account that,
-e.g. nginx cannot serve both regular HTTP(S) and PROXY protocols on the same
-port, so you will need to use other ports for that.
-
-As a recommendation in this type: use TCP ports 8080 and 591 respectively to
-serve HTTP and HTTPS using the PROXY protocol.
-
-See the EXAMPLES for more details.
-
-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
--------------------
-v4proxy
-    Proxy incoming IPv4 connections to the equivalent IPv6 endpoint.
-    In its simplest use, it must be a NAME with an `AAAA` DNS entry, which is
-    the IP address actually providing the proxied services.
-    The full format of this argument is:
-    `[proxy:]NAME[[:PROTOCOL_1=PORT_1]...[:PROTOCOL_N=PORT_N]]`
-    Where starting with `proxy:` determines that the PROXY protocol must be
-    used and each `:PROTOCOL=PORT` (e.g. `:http=8080` or `:https=591`) is a PORT
-    override for the given PROTOCOL (see `--protocol`), if not present the
-    PROTOCOL's default port will be used.
-
-
-v6proxy
-    Proxy incoming IPv6 connections to the equivalent IPv4 endpoint.
-    In its simplest use, it must be a NAME with an `A` DNS entry, which is
-    the IP address actually providing the proxied services.
-    See `--v4proxy` for more options and details.
-
-protocol
-    Can be passed multiple times or as a space-separated list of protocols.
-    Currently supported protocols are: `http`, `https`, `imaps`, `smtps`.
-    This defaults to: `http https imaps smtps`.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-    # Proxy the IPv6-only services so IPv4-only clients can access them
-    # This uses HAProxy's TCP mode for http, https, imaps and smtps
-    __haproxy_dualstack \
-        --v4proxy ipv6.chat \
-        --v4proxy matrix.ungleich.ch
-
-    # Proxy the IPv6-only HTTP(S) services so IPv4-only clients can access them
-    # Note this means that the backend IPv6-only server will only see
-    # the IPv6 address of the haproxy host managed by cdist, which can be
-    # troublesome if this information is relevant for analytics/security/...
-    # See the PROXY example below
-    __haproxy_dualstack \
-        --protocol http --protocol https \
-        --v4proxy ipv6.chat \
-        --v4proxy matrix.ungleich.ch
-
-    # Use the PROXY protocol to proxy the IPv6-only HTTP(S) services enabling
-    # IPv4-only clients to access them while maintaining the client's IP address
-    __haproxy_dualstack \
-        --protocol http --protocol https \
-        --v4proxy proxy:ipv6.chat:http=8080:https=591 \
-        --v4proxy proxy:matrix.ungleich.ch:http=8080:https=591
-    # Note however that the PROXY protocol is not compatible with regular
-    # HTTP(S) protocols, so your nginx will have to listen on different ports
-    # with the PROXY settings.
-    # Note that you will need to restrict access to the 8080 port to prevent
-    # Client IP spoofing.
-    # This can be something like:
-    # server {
-    #     # listen for regular HTTP connections
-    #     listen [::]:80 default_server;
-    #     listen 80 default_server;
-    #     # listen for PROXY HTTP connections
-    #     listen [::]:8080 proxy_protocol;
-    #     # Accept the Client's IP from the PROXY protocol
-    #     real_ip_header proxy_protocol;
-    # }

-    Allow installing new packages when used in conjunction with
-    upgrade. This is useful if the update of an installed package
-    requires new dependencies to be installed. Instead of holding the
-    package back upgrade will upgrade the package and install the new

+Trigger
+=======
+
+Description
+-----------
+cdist supports triggering for host installation/configuration using trigger command.
+This command starts trigger server at management node, for example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    $ cdist trigger -b -v
+
+This will start cdist trigger server in verbose mode. cdist trigger server accepts
+simple requests for configuration and for installation:
+
+* :strong:`/cdist/install/` for installation

@@ -522,3 +522,92 @@ 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 hacking <cdist-hacker.html>`_ on
 how to submit it.

+
+Python types
+------------
+From version/branch **beta** cdist support python types, types that are written
+in python language with cdist's core support. cdist detects such type if type is
+detectable as a python package, i.e. if **__init__.py** file is present in type's
+root directory. Upon that detection cdist will try to run such type as core python
+type.
+
+Note that this differs from plain cdist type where scripts are written in pure
+python and have a proper shebang.
+
+Core python types replace manifest and gencode scripts. Parameters, singleton,
+nonparallel are still defined as for common types. Explorer code is also written
+in shell, since this is the code that is directly executed at target host.
+
+When writing python type you can extend **cdist.core.pytypes.PythonType** class.
+You need to implement the following methods:
+
+* **get_args_parser**: implementation should return **argparse.ArgumentParser** and if
+  it is undefined or returned None then cdist falls back to classic type parameter
+  definition and argument parsing
+* **type_manifest**: implementation should yield **cdist.core.pytypes.<type-name>**
+  attribute function call result, or **yield from ()** if type does not use other types
+* **type_gencode**: implementation should return a string consisting of lines
+  of shell code that will be executed at target host.
+
+**cdist.core.pytypes.<type-name>** attributes correspond to detected python types.
+**Note** that double underscore ('__') at the beginning of type name is removed.
+
+Example:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    import os
+    import sys
+    from cdist.core.pytypes import *
+
+
+    class DummyConfig(PythonType):
+        def type_manifest(self):
+            print('dummy manifest stdout')
+            print('dummy manifest stderr\n', file=sys.stderr)
+            yield file_py('/root/dummy1.conf',
+                          mode='0640',
+                          owner='root',
+                          group='root',
+                          source='-').feed_stdin('dummy=1\n')
+
+            self_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
+            conf_path = os.path.join(self_path, 'files', 'dummy.conf')
+            yield file_py('/root/dummy2.conf',
+                          mode='0640',
+                          owner='root',
+                          group='root',
+                          source=conf_path)
+
+**cdist.core.PythonType** class provides the following methods:
+
+* **get_parameter**: get type parameter
+* **get_explorer_file**: get path to file for specified explorer
+* **get_explorer**: get value for specified explorer
+* **run_local**: run specified command locally
+* **run_remote**: run specified command remotely
+* **transfer**: transfer specified source to the remote
+* **die**: raise error
+* **send_message**: send message
+* **receive_message**: get message.
+
+When running python type, cdist will save output streams to **gencode-py**,
+stdout and stderr output files.
+
+As a reference implementation you can take a look at **__file_py** type,
+which is re-implementation of **__file** type.
+
+Furthermore, under **docs/dev/python-types** there are sample cdist conf directory,
+init manifests and scripts for running and measuring duration of samples.
+There, under **conf/type/__dummy_config** you can find another example of
+python type, which (unlike **__file_py** type) also uses new manifest implementation
+that yields **cdist.core.pytypes.<type-name>** attribute function call results.
+
+**NOTE** that python types implementation is under the beta, not directly controled by
+the **-b/--beta** option. It is controled by the explicit usage of python types in
+your config.
+
+Also, this documenation is only an introduction, and not a complete guide to python
+types. Currently, it is just a short introduction so one can start to write and use
+python types.
