Best practice
=============
Practices used in real environments
Passwordless connections
------------------------
It is recommended to run cdist with public key authentication.
This requires a private/public key pair and the entry
"PermitRootLogin without-password" in the sshd server.
See sshd_config(5) and ssh-keygen(1).
Speeding up ssh connections
---------------------------
When connecting to a new host, the initial delay with ssh connections
is pretty big. As cdist makes many connections to each host successive
connections can be sped up by "sharing of multiple sessions over a single
network connection" (quote from ssh_config(5)). This is also called "connection
multiplexing".
Cdist implements this since v4.0.0 by executing ssh with the appropriate
options (`-o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPath=/tmp/<tmpdir>/s -o
ControlPersist=2h`).
Note that the sshd_config on the server can configure the maximum number of
parallel multiplexed connections this with `MaxSessions N` (N defaults to 10
for OpenSSH v7.4).
Speeding up shell execution
----------------------------
On the source host, ensure that /bin/sh is *not* bash: bash is quite slow for
script execution. Instead, you could use dash after installing it::
ln -sf /bin/dash /bin/sh
Multi master or environment setups
----------------------------------
If you plan to distribute cdist among servers or use different
environments, you can do so easily with the included version
control git. For instance if you plan to use the typical three
environments production, integration and development, you can
realise this with git branches::
# Go to cdist checkout
cd /path/to/cdist
# Create branches
git branch development
git branch integration
git branch production
# Make use of a branch, for instance production
git checkout production
Similar if you want to have cdist checked out at multiple machines,
you can clone it multiple times::
machine-a % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist
machine-b % git clone git://your-git-server/cdist
Separating work by groups
-------------------------
If you are working with different groups on one cdist-configuration,
you can delegate to other manifests and have the groups edit only
their manifests. You can use the following snippet in
**conf/manifests/init**::
# Include other groups
sh -e "$__manifest/systems"
sh -e "$__manifest/cbrg"
Maintaining multiple configurations
-----------------------------------
When you need to manage multiple sites with cdist, like company_a, company_b
and private for instance, you can easily use git for this purpose.
Including a possible common base that is reused across the different sites::
# create branches
git branch company_a company_b common private
# make stuff for company a
git checkout company_a
# work, commit, etc.
# make stuff for company b
git checkout company_b
# work, commit, etc.
# make stuff relevant for all sites
git checkout common
# work, commit, etc.
# change to private and include latest common stuff
git checkout private
git merge common
The following **.git/config** is taken from a real world scenario::
# Track upstream, merge from time to time
[remote "upstream"]
url = git://git.schottelius.org/cdist
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
# Same as upstream, but works when being offline
[remote "local"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/local/*
url = /home/users/nico/p/cdist
# Remote containing various ETH internal branches
[remote "eth"]
url = sans.ethz.ch:/home/services/sans/git/cdist-eth
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/eth/*
# Public remote that contains my private changes to cdist upstream
[remote "nico"]
url = git.schottelius.org:/home/services/git/cdist-nico
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/nico/*
# The "nico" branch will be synced with the remote nico, branch master
[branch "nico"]
remote = nico
merge = refs/heads/master
# ETH stable contains rock solid configurations used in various places
[branch "eth-stable"]
remote = eth
merge = refs/heads/stable
Have a look at git-remote(1) to adjust the remote configuration, which allows
Multiple developers with different trust
----------------------------------------
If you are working in an environment that requires different people to
work on the same configuration, but having different privileges, you can
implement this scenario with a gateway host and sudo:
- Create a dedicated user (for instance **cdist**)
- Setup the ssh-pubkey for this user that has the right to configure all hosts
- Create a wrapper to update the cdist configuration in ~cdist/cdist
- Allow every developer to execute this script via sudo as the user cdist
- Allow run of cdist as user cdist on specific hosts on a per user/group basis.
- f.i. nico ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/cdist/bin/cdist config hostabc
For more details consult sudoers(5)
Templating
----------
* create directory files/ in your type (convention)
* create the template as an executable file like files/basic.conf.sh, it will output text using shell variables for the values
.. code-block:: sh
#!/bin/sh
# in the template, use cat << eof (here document) to output the text
# and use standard shell variables in the template
# output everything in the template script to stdout
cat << EOF
server {
listen 80;
server_name $SERVERNAME;
root $ROOT;
access_log /var/log/nginx/$SERVERNAME_access.log
error_log /var/log/nginx/$SERVERNAME_error.log
}
EOF
* in the manifest, export the relevant variables and add the following lines to your manifest:
.. code-block:: console
# export variables needed for the template
export SERVERNAME='test"
export ROOT='/var/www/test'
# render the template
mkdir -p "$__object/files"
"$__type/files/basic.conf.sh" > "$__object/files/basic.conf"
# send the rendered template
__file /etc/nginx/sites-available/test.conf \
--state present
--source "$__object/files/basic.conf"
Testing a new type
------------------
If you want to test a new type on a node, you can tell cdist to only use an
object of this type: Use the '--initial-manifest' parameter
with - (stdin) as argument and feed object into stdin
of cdist:
.. code-block:: sh
# Singleton type without parameter
echo __ungleich_munin_server | cdist --initial-manifest - munin.panter.ch
# Singleton type with parameter
echo __ungleich_munin_node --allow 1.2.3.4 | \
cdist --initial-manifest - rails-19.panter.ch
# Normal type
echo __file /tmp/stdintest --mode 0644 | \
cdist --initial-manifest - cdist-dev-01.ungleich.ch
Other content in cdist repository
---------------------------------
Usually the cdist repository contains all configuration
items. Sometimes you may have additional resources that
you would like to store in your central configuration
repository (like password files from KeepassX,
Libreoffice diagrams, etc.).
It is recommended to use a subfolder named "non-cdist"
in the repository for such content: It allows you to
easily distinguish what is used by cdist and what is not
and also to store all important files in one
repository.
Notes on CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
-------------------------------
With CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY all types are executed in the order in which they
are created in the manifest. The current created object automatically depends
on the previously created object.
It essentially helps you to build up blocks of code that build upon each other
(like first creating the directory xyz than the file below the directory).
This can be helpful, but one must be aware of its side effects.
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY kills parallelization
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose you have defined CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY and then, among other things,
you specify creation of three, by nature independent, files.
**init**
.. code-block:: sh
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
...
__file /tmp/file1
__file /tmp/file2
__file /tmp/file3
...
Due to defined CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY cdist will execute them in specified order.
It is better to use CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY in well defined blocks:
**init**
.. code-block:: sh
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
...
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__file /tmp/file1
__file /tmp/file2
__file /tmp/file3
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
...
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY

Bootstrap
=========
This document describes the usual steps recommended for a new
cdist setup. It is recommended that you have read and understood
`cdist quickstart <cdist-quickstart.html>`_ before digging into this.
Location
---------
First of all, you should think about where to store your configuration
database and who will be accessing or changing it. Secondly you have to
think about where to configure your hosts from, which may be a different
location.
For starters, having cdist (which includes the configuration database) on
your notebook should be fine.
Additionally an external copy of the git repository the configuration
relies on is recommended, for use as backup as well as to allow easy collaboration
with others.
For more sophisticated setups developing cdist configurations with multiple
people, have a look at `cdist best practice <cdist-best-practice.html>`_.
Setup working directory and branch
----------------------------------
I assume you have a fresh copy of the cdist tree in ~/cdist, cloned from
one of the official urls (see `cdist quickstart <cdist-quickstart.html>`_ if you don't).
Entering the command "git branch" should show you "* master", which indicates
you are on the **master** branch.
The master branch reflects the latest development of cdist. As this is the
development branch, it may or may not work. There are also version branches
available, which are kept in a stable state. Let's use **git branch -r**
to list all branches::
cdist% git branch -r
origin/1.0
origin/1.1
origin/1.2
origin/1.3
origin/1.4
origin/1.5
origin/1.6
origin/1.7
origin/2.0
origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/archive_shell_function_approach
origin/master
So **2.0** is the latest version branch in this example.
All versions (2.0.x) within one version branch (2.0) are compatible to each
other and won't break your configuration when updating.
It's up to you to decide which branch you want to base your own work on:
master contains more recent changes, newer types, but may also break.
The version branches are stable, but may lack the latest features.
Your decision can be changed later on, but may result in merge conflicts,
which you will need to solve.
Let's assume you want latest stuff and select the master branch as base for
your own work. Now it's time to create your branch, which contains your
local changes. I usually name it by the company/area I am working for:
ethz-systems, localch, customerX, ... But this is pretty much up to you.
In this tutorial I use the branch **mycompany**::
cdist% git checkout -b mycompany origin/master
Branch mycompany set up to track remote branch master from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'mycompany'
cdist-user% git branch
master
* mycompany
From now on, you can use git as usual to commit your changes in your own branch.
Publishing the configuration
----------------------------
Usually a development machine like a notebook should be considered
temporary only. For this reason and to enable shareability, the configuration
should be published to another device as early as possible. The following
example shows how to publish the configuration to another host that is
reachable via ssh and has git installed::
# Create bare git repository on the host named "loch"
cdist% ssh loch "GIT_DIR=/home/nutzer/cdist git init"
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/nutzer/cdist/
# Add remote git repo to git config
cdist% git remote add loch loch:/home/nutzer/cdist
# Configure the mycompany branch to push to loch
cdist% git config branch.mycompany.remote loch
# Configure mycompany branch to push into remote master branch
cdist% git config branch.mycompany.merge refs/heads/master
# Push mycompany branch to remote branch master initially
cdist% git push loch mycompany:refs/heads/master
Now you have setup the git repository to synchronise the **mycompany**
branch with the **master** branch on the host **loch**. Thus you can commit
as usual in your branch and push out changes by entering **git push**.
Updating from origin
--------------------
Whenever you want to update your cdist installation, you can use git to do so::
# Update git repository with latest changes from origin
cdist% git fetch origin
# Update current branch with master branch from origin
cdist% git merge origin/master
# Alternative: Update current branch with 2.0 branch from origin
cdist% git merge origin/2.0

Local cache overview
====================
Description
-----------
While executing, cdist stores data to local cache. Currently this feature is
one way only. That means that cdist does not use stored data for future runs.
Anyway, those data can be used for debugging cdist, debugging types and
debugging after host configuration fails.
Local cache is saved under $HOME/.cdist/cache directory, one directory entry
for each host. Subdirectory path is specified by
:strong:`-C/--cache-path-pattern` option, :strong:`cache_path_pattern`
configuration option or by using :strong:`CDIST_CACHE_PATH_PATTERN`
environment variable.
For more info on cache path pattern see :strong:`CACHE PATH PATTERN FORMAT`
section in cdist man page.
Cache overview
--------------
As noted above each configured host has got its subdirectory in local cache.
Entries in host's cache directory are as follows.
bin
directory with cdist type emulators
conf
dynamically determined cdist conf directory, union of all specified
conf directories
explorer
directory containing global explorer named files containing explorer output
after running on target host
messages
file containing messages
object
directory containing subdirectory for each cdist object
object_marker
object marker for this particular cdist run
stderr
directory containing init manifest and remote stderr stream output
stdout
directory containing init manifest and remote stdout stream output
target_host
file containing target host of this cdist run, as specified when running
cdist
typeorder
file containing types in order of execution.
Object cache overview
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each object under :strong:`object` directory has its own structurue.
code-local
code generated from gencode-local, present only if something is
generated
code-remote
code generated from gencode-remote, present only if something is
generated
explorer
directory containing type explorer named files containing explorer output
after running on target host
files
directory with object files created during type execution
parameter
directory containing type parameter named files containing parameter
values
source
this type's source (init manifest)
state
this type execution state ('done' when finished)
stderr
directory containing type's manifest, gencode-* and code-* stderr stream
outputs
stdin
this type stdin content
stdout
directory containing type's manifest, gencode-* and code-* stdout stream
outputs.

Configuration
=============
Description
-----------
cdist obtains configuration data from the following sources in the following
order:
#. command-line options
#. configuration file specified at command-line using -g command line option
#. configuration file specified in CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable
#. environment variables
#. user's configuration file (first one found of ~/.cdist.cfg, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg, in specified order)
#. in-distribution configuration file (cdist/conf/cdist.cfg)
#. system-wide configuration file (/etc/cdist.cfg)
if one exists.
Configuration source with lower ordering number from above has a higher
precedence. Configuration option value read from source with higher
precedence will overwrite option value, if exists, read from source with
lower precedence. That means that command-line option wins them all.
Users can decide on the local conifguration file location. It can be either
~/.cdist.cfg or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cdist/cdist.cfg. Note that, if both exist,
then ~/.cdist.cfg is used.
For a per-project configuration, particular environment variables or better,
CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable or -g CONFIG_FILE command line option,
can be used.
Config file format
------------------
cdist configuration file is in the INI file format. Currently it supports
only [GLOBAL] section.
Here you can find configuration file skeleton:
.. literalinclude:: cdist.cfg.skeleton
:language: ini

Explorer
========
Description
-----------
Explorers are small shell scripts, which will be executed on the target
host. The aim of each explorer is to give hints to types on how to act on the
target system. An explorer outputs the result to stdout, which is usually
a one liner, but may be empty or multi line especially in the case of
type explorers.
There are general explorers, which are run in an early stage, and
type explorers. Both work almost exactly the same way, with the difference
that the values of the general explorers are stored in a general location and
the type specific below the object.
Explorers can reuse other explorers on the target system by calling
::
$__explorer/<explorer_name> (general and type explorer)
or
::
$__type_explorer/<explorer name> (type explorer).
In case of significant errors, the explorer may exit non-zero and return an
error message on stderr, which will cause cdist to abort.
You can also use stderr for debugging purposes while developing a new
explorer.
Examples
--------
A very simple explorer may look like this::
hostname
Which is in practise the **hostname** explorer.
A type explorer, which could check for the status of a package may look like this:
.. code-block:: sh
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/name" ]; then
name="$(cat "$__object/parameter/name")"
else
name="$__object_id"
fi
# Expect dpkg failing, if package is not known / installed
dpkg -s "$name" 2>/dev/null || exit 0

Features
========
But cdist ticks differently, here is the feature set that makes it unique:
Simplicity
There is only one type to extend cdist called **type**
Design
+ Type and core cleanly separated
+ Sticks completely to the KISS (keep it simple and stupid) paradigm
+ Meaningful error messages - do not lose time debugging error messages
+ Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation
+ No surprise factor: Only do what is obviously clear, no magic
+ Define target state, do not focus on methods or scripts
+ Push architecture: Instantly apply your changes
Small core
cdist's core is very small - less code, less bugs
Fast development
Focus on straightforwardness of type creation is a main development objective
Batteries included: A lot of requirements can be solved using standard types
Modern Programming Language
cdist is written in Python
Requirements, Scalability
No central server needed, cdist operates in push mode and can be run from any computer
Requirements, Scalability, Upgrade
cdist only needs to be updated on the master, not on the target hosts
Requirements, Security
Uses well-know `SSH <http://www.openssh.com/>`_ as transport protocol
Requirements, Simplicity
Requires only shell and SSH server on the target
UNIX
Reuse of existing tools like cat, find, mv, ...
UNIX, familiar environment, documentation
Is available as manpages and HTML
UNIX, simplicity, familiar environment

Hacking
=======
Welcome
-------
Welcome dear hacker! I invite you to a tour of pointers to
get into the usable configuration management system, cdist.
The first thing to know is probably that cdist is brought to
you by people who care about how code looks like and who think
twice before merging or implementing a feature: Less features
with good usability are far better than the opposite.
Reporting bugs
--------------
If you believe you've found a bug and verified that it is
in the latest version, drop a mail to the cdist mailing list,
subject prefixed with "[BUG] " or create an issue on code.ungleich.ch.
Coding conventions (everywhere)
-------------------------------
If something should be improved or needs to be fixed, add the word FIXME
nearby, so grepping for FIXME gives all positions that need to be fixed.
Indentation is 4 spaces (welcome to the python world).
How to submit stuff for inclusion into upstream cdist
-----------------------------------------------------
If you did some cool changes to cdist, which you think might be of benefit to other
cdist users, you're welcome to propose inclusion into upstream.
There are some requirements to ensure your changes don't break other peoples
work nor kill the authors brain:
- All files should contain the usual header (Author, Copying, etc.)
- Code submission must be done via git
- Do not add cdist/conf/manifest/init - This file should only be touched in your
private branch!
- Code to be included should be branched of the upstream "master" branch
- Exception: Bugfixes to a version branch
- On a merge request, always name the branch I should pull from
- Always ensure **all** manpages build. Use **./build man** to test.
- If you developed more than **one** feature, consider submitting them in
separate branches. This way one feature can already be included, even if
the other needs to be improved.
As soon as your work meets these requirements, write a mail
for inclusion to the mailinglist **cdist-configuration-management at googlegroups.com**
or open a merge request at https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist.
How to submit a new type
------------------------
For detailed information about types, see `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
Submitting a type works as described above, with the additional requirement
that a corresponding manpage named man.rst in ReSTructured text format with
the manpage-name "cdist-type__NAME" is included in the type directory
AND the manpage builds (`make man`).
Warning: Submitting "exec" or "run" types that simply echo their parameter in
**gencode** will not be accepted, because they are of no use. Every type can output
code and thus such a type introduces redundant functionality that is given by
core cdist already.
Example git workflow
---------------------
The following workflow works fine for most developers
.. code-block:: sh
# get latest upstream master branch
git clone https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist.git
# update if already existing
cd cdist; git fetch -v; git merge origin/master
# create a new branch for your feature/bugfix
cd cdist # if you haven't done before
git checkout -b documentation_cleanup
# *hack*
*hack*
# clone the cdist repository on code.ungleich.ch if you haven't done so
# configure your repo to know about your clone (only once)
git remote add ungleich git@code.ungleich.ch:YOURUSERNAME/cdist.git
# push the new branch to ungleich gitlab
git push ungleich documentation_cleanup
# (or everything)
git push --mirror ungleich
# create a merge request at ungleich gitlab (use a browser)
# *fixthingsbecausequalityassurancefoundissuesinourpatch*
*hack*
# push code to ungleich gitlab again
git push ... # like above
# add comment that everything should be green now (use a browser)
# go back to master branch
git checkout master
# update master branch that includes your changes now
git fetch -v origin
git diff master..origin/master
git merge origin/master
If at any point you want to go back to the original master branch, you can
use **git stash** to stash your changes away::
.. code-block:: sh
# assume you are on documentation_cleanup
git stash
# change to master and update to most recent upstream version
git checkout master
git fetch -v origin
git merge origin/master
Similarly when you want to develop another new feature, you go back
to the master branch and create another branch based on it::
.. code-block:: sh
# change to master and update to most recent upstream version
git checkout master
git fetch -v origin
git merge origin/master
git checkout -b another_feature
(you can repeat the code above for as many features as you want to develop
in parallel)

How to install cdist
====================
Requirements
-------------
Source Host
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the machine from which you will configure target hosts.
* /bin/sh: A posix like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
* Python >= 3.2
* SSH client
* sphinx (for building html docs and/or the man pages)
Target Hosts
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* /bin/sh: A posix like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
* SSH server
Install cdist
-------------
From git
~~~~~~~~
Cloning cdist from git gives you the advantage of having
a version control in place for development of your own stuff
immediately.
To install cdist, execute the following commands:
.. code-block:: sh
git clone https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist.git
cd cdist
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin
From version 4.2.0 cdist tags and releases are signed.
You can get GPG public key used for signing `here <_static/pgp-key-EFD2AE4EC36B6901.asc>`_.
It is assumed that you are familiar with *git* ways of signing and verification.
You can also get cdist from `github mirror <https://github.com/ungleich/cdist>`_.
To install cdist with distutils from cloned repository, first you have to
create version.py:
.. code-block:: sh
./bin/build-helper version
Then you install it with:
.. code-block:: sh
make install
or with:
.. code-block:: sh
make install-user
to install it into user *site-packages* directory.
Or directly with distutils:
.. code-block:: sh
python setup.py install
Note that `bin/build-helper` script is intended for cdist maintainers.
Available versions in git
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* The active development takes place in the **master** branch
* The released versions can be found in the tags
Other branches may be available for features or bugfixes, but they
may vanish at any point. To select a specific branch use
.. code-block:: sh
# Generic code
git checkout -b <localbranchname> origin/<branchname>
So for instance if you want to use and stay with version 4.1, you can use
.. code-block:: sh
git checkout -b 4.1 origin/4.1
Building and using documentation (man and html)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to build and use the documentation, run:
.. code-block:: sh
make docs
Documentation comes in two formats, man pages and full HTML
documentation. Documentation is built into distribution's
docs/dist directory. man pages are in docs/dist/man and
HTML documentation in docs/dist/html.
If you want to use man pages, run:
.. code-block:: sh
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/docs/dist/man
Or you can move man pages from docs/dist/man directory to some
other directory and add it to MANPATH.
Full HTML documentation can be accessed at docs/dist/html/index.html.
You can also build only man pages or only html documentation, for
only man pages run:
.. code-block:: sh
make man
for only html documentation run:
.. code-block:: sh
make html
You can also build man pages for types in your ~/.cdist directory:
.. code-block:: sh
make dotman
Built man pages are now in docs/dist/man directory. If you have
some other custom .cdist directory, e.g. /opt/cdist then use:
.. code-block:: sh
make DOT_CDIST_PATH=/opt/cdist dotman
Note that `dotman`-target has to be built before a `make docs`-run, otherwise
the custom man-pages are not picked up.
Python package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cdist is available as a python package at
`PyPi <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdist/>`_. You can install it using
.. code-block:: sh
pip install cdist
Installing from source with signature verification
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to install cdist from signed source and verify it, first you need to
download cdist archive and its detached signature.
Get both, *cdist-x.y.z.tar.gz* and *cdist-x.y.z.tar.gz.asc* from release
notes of the desired tag *x.y.z* at
`cdist git repository <https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist/-/tags>`_.
Get GPG public key used for signing `here <_static/pgp-key-EFD2AE4EC36B6901.asc>`_
and import it into GPG.
Now cdist source archive can be verified using `gpg`, e.g. to verify `cdist-6.2.0`:
.. code-block:: sh
$ gpg --verify cdist-6.2.0.tar.gz.asc cdist-6.2.0.targ.gz
gpg: Signature made Sat Nov 30 23:14:19 2019 CET
gpg: using RSA key 69767822F3ECC3C349C1EFFFEFD2AE4EC36B6901
gpg: Good signature from "ungleich GmbH (ungleich FOSS) <foss@ungleich.ch>" [ultimate]
Further steps are the same as for `installing from git <cdist-install.html#from-git>`_.

cdist integration / using cdist as library
==========================================
Description
-----------
cdist can be integrate with other applications by importing cdist and other
cdist modules and setting all by hand. There are also helper functions which
aim to ease this integration. Just import **cdist.integration** and use its
functions:
* :strong:`cdist.integration.configure_hosts_simple` for configuration
* :strong:`cdist.integration.install_hosts_simple` for installation.
Functions require `host` and `manifest` parameters.
`host` can be specified as a string representing host or as iterable
of hosts. `manifest` is a path to initial manifest. For other cdist
options default values will be used. `verbose` is a desired verbosity
level which defaults to VERBOSE_INFO. `cdist_path` parameter specifies
path to cdist executable, if it is `None` then functions will try to
find it first from local lib directory and then in PATH.
In case of cdist error :strong:`cdist.Error` exception is raised.
:strong:`WARNING`: cdist integration helper functions are not yet stable!
Examples
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# configure host from python interactive shell
>>> import cdist.integration
>>> cdist.integration.configure_hosts_simple('185.203.114.185',
... '~/.cdist/manifest/init')
# configure host from python interactive shell, specifying verbosity level
>>> import cdist.integration
>>> cdist.integration.configure_hosts_simple(
... '185.203.114.185', '~/.cdist/manifest/init',
... verbose=cdist.argparse.VERBOSE_TRACE)
# configure specified dns hosts from python interactive shell
>>> import cdist.integration
>>> hosts = ('dns1.ungleich.ch', 'dns2.ungleich.ch', 'dns3.ungleich.ch', )
>>> cdist.integration.configure_hosts_simple(hosts,
... '~/.cdist/manifest/init')

Inventory
=========
Introduction
------------
cdist comes with simple built-in tag based inventory. It is a simple inventory
with list of hosts and a host has a list of tags.
Inventory functionality is still in **beta** so it can be used only if beta
command line flag is specified (-b, --beta) or setting CDIST_BETA env var.
Description
-----------
The idea is to have simple tagging inventory. There is a list of hosts and for
each host there are tags. Inventory database is a set of files under inventory
database base directory. Filename equals hostname. Each file contains tags for
hostname with each tag on its own line.
Using inventory you can now configure hosts by selecting them by tags.
Tags have no values, as tags are just tags. Tag name-value would in this
context mean that host has two tags and it is selected by specifying that both
tags are present.
This inventory is **KISS** cdist built-in inventory database. You can maintain it
using cdist inventory interface or using standard UNIX tools.
cdist inventory interface
-------------------------
With cdist inventory interface you can list host(s) and tag(s), add host(s),
add tag(s), delete host(s) and delete tag(s).
Configuring hosts using inventory
---------------------------------
config command now has new options, **-t**, **-a** and **-A**.
**-A** means that all hosts in tag db is selected.
**-a** means that selected hosts must contain ALL specified tags.
**-t** means that host specifies tag - all hosts that have specified tags are
selected.
Examples
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# List inventory content
$ cdist inventory list -b
# List inventory for specified host localhost
$ cdist inventory list -b localhost
# List inventory for specified tag loadbalancer
$ cdist inventory list -b -t loadbalancer
# Add hosts to inventory
$ cdist inventory add-host -b web1 web2 web3
# Delete hosts from file old-hosts from inventory
$ cdist inventory del-host -b -f old-hosts
# Add tags to specified hosts
$ cdist inventory add-tag -b -t europe,croatia,web,static web1 web2
# Add tag to all hosts in inventory
$ cdist inventory add-tag -b -t vm
# Delete all tags from specified host
$ cdist inventory del-tag -b -a localhost
# Delete tags read from stdin from hosts specified by file hosts
$ cdist inventory del-tag -b -T - -f hosts
# Configure hosts from inventory with any of specified tags
$ cdist config -b -t web dynamic
# Configure hosts from inventory with all specified tags
$ cdist config -b -t -a web dynamic
# Configure all hosts from inventory db
$ cdist config -b -A

Using external inventory
------------------------
cdist can be used with any external inventory where external inventory is
some storage or database from which you can get a list of hosts to configure.
cdist can then be fed with this list of hosts through stdin or file using
**-f** option. For example, if your host list is stored in sqlite3 database
hosts.db and you want to select hosts which purpose is **django** then you
can use it with cdist like:
.. code-block:: sh
$ sqlite3 hosts.db "select hostname from hosts where purpose = 'django';" | cdist config

Manifest
========
Description
-----------
Manifests are used to define which objects to create.
Objects are instances of **types**, like in object oriented programming languages.
An object is represented by the combination of
**type + slash + object name**: **\__file/etc/cdist-configured** is an
object of the type **__file** with the name **etc/cdist-configured**.
All available types can be found in the **cdist/conf/type/** directory,
use **ls cdist/conf/type** to get the list of available types. If you have
setup the MANPATH correctly, you can use **man cdist-reference** to access
the reference with pointers to the manpages.
Types in manifests are used like normal command line tools. Let's have a look
at an example::
# Create object of type __package with the parameter state = absent
__package apache2 --state absent
# Same with the __directory type
__directory /tmp/cdist --state present
These two lines create objects, which will later be used to realise the
configuration on the target host.
Manifests are executed locally as a shell script using **/bin/sh -e**.
The resulting objects are stored in an internal database.
The same object can be redefined in multiple different manifests as long as
the parameters are exactly the same.
In general, manifests are used to define which types are used depending
on given conditions.
Initial and type manifests
--------------------------
Cdist knows about two types of manifests: The initial manifest and type
manifests. The initial manifest is used to define, which configurations
to apply to which hosts. The type manifests are used to create objects
from types. More about manifests in types can be found in `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
Define state in the initial manifest
------------------------------------
The **initial manifest** is the entry point for cdist to find out, which
**objects** to configure on the selected host.
Cdist expects the initial manifest at **cdist/conf/manifest/init**.
Within this initial manifest you define which objects should be
created on which host. To distinguish between hosts, you can use the
environment variable **__target_host** and/or **__target_hostname** and/or
**__target_fqdn**. Let's have a look at a simple example::
__cdistmarker
case "$__target_host" in
localhost)
__directory /home/services/kvm-vm --parents yes
;;
esac
This manifest says: Independent of the host, always use the type
**__cdistmarker**, which creates the file **/etc/cdist-configured**,
with the timestamp as content.
The directory **/home/services/kvm-vm**, including all parent directories,
is only created on the host **localhost**.
As you can see, there is no magic involved, the manifest is simple shell code that
utilises cdist types. Every available type can be executed like a normal
command.
Splitting up the initial manifest
---------------------------------
If you want to split up your initial manifest, you can create other shell
scripts in **cdist/conf/manifest/** and include them in **cdist/conf/manifest/init**.
Cdist provides the environment variable **__manifest** to reference
the directory containing the initial manifest (see `cdist reference <cdist-reference.html>`_).
The following example would include every file with a **.sh** suffix::
# Include *.sh
for manifest in $__manifest/*.sh; do
# And source scripts into our shell environment
. "$manifest"
done
Dependencies
------------
If you want to describe that something requires something else, just
setup the variable "require" to contain the requirements. Multiple
requirements can be added white space separated.
::
1 # No dependency
2 __file /etc/cdist-configured
3
4 # Require above object
5 require="__file/etc/cdist-configured" __link /tmp/cdist-testfile \
6 --source /etc/cdist-configured --type symbolic
7
8 # Require two objects
9 require="__file/etc/cdist-configured __link/tmp/cdist-testfile" \
10 __file /tmp/cdist-another-testfile
Above the "require" variable is only set for the command that is
immediately following it. Dependencies should always be declared that way.
On line 4 you can see that the instantiation of a type "\__link" object needs
the object "__file/etc/cdist-configured" to be present, before it can proceed.
This also means that the "\__link" command must make sure, that either
"\__file/etc/cdist-configured" already is present, or, if it's not, it needs
to be created. The task of cdist is to make sure, that the dependency will be
resolved appropriately and thus "\__file/etc/cdist-configured" be created
if necessary before "__link" proceeds (or to abort execution with an error).
If you really need to make all types depend on a common dependency, you can
export the "require" variable as well. But then, if you need to add extra
dependencies to a specific type, you have to make sure that you append these
to the globally already defined one.
::
# First of all, update the package index
__package_update_index
# Upgrade all the installed packages afterwards
require="__package_update_index" __package_upgrade_all
# Create a common dependency for all the next types so that they get to
# be executed only after the package upgrade has finished
export require="__package_upgrade_all"
# Ensure that lighttpd is installed after we have upgraded all the packages
__package lighttpd --state present
# Ensure that munin is installed after lighttpd is present and after all
# the packages are upgraded
require="$require __package/lighttpd" __package munin --state present
All objects that are created in a type manifest are automatically required
from the type that is calling them. This is called "autorequirement" in
cdist jargon.
You can find a more in depth description of the flow execution of manifests
in `cdist execution stages <cdist-stages.html>`_ and of how types work in `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
Create dependencies from execution order
-----------------------------------------
You can tell cdist to execute all types in the order in which they are created
in the manifest by setting up the variable CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY.
When cdist sees that this variable is setup, the current created object
automatically depends on the previously created object.
It essentially helps you to build up blocks of code that build upon each other
(like first creating the directory xyz than the file below the directory).
Read also about `notes on CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY <cdist-best-practice.html#notes-on-cdist-order-dependency>`_.
In version 6.2.0 semantic CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is finally fixed and well defined.
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY defines type order dependency context. Order dependency context
starts when CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is set, and ends when it is unset. After each
manifest execution finishes, any existing order dependency context is automatically
unset. This ensures that CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY is valid within the manifest where it
is used. When order dependency context is defined then cdist executes types in the
order in which they are created in the manifest inside order dependency context.
Sometimes the best way to see how something works is to see examples.
Suppose you have defined **initial manifest**:
.. code-block:: sh
__cycle1 cycle1
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__cycle2 cycle2
__cycle3 cycle3
with types **__cycle1**:
.. code-block:: sh
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/cycle11
__file /tmp/cycle12
__file /tmp/cycle13
**__cycle2**:
.. code-block:: sh
__file /tmp/cycle21
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/cycle22
__file /tmp/cycle23
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__file /tmp/cycle24
**__cycle3**:
.. code-block:: sh
__file /tmp/cycle31
__file /tmp/cycle32
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/cycle33
__file /tmp/cycle34
For the above config, cdist results in the following expected *dependency graph*
(type *__cycleX* is shown as *cX*, *__file/tmp/cycleXY* is shown as *fcXY*):
::
c1---->fc11
| /\
| |
+----->fc12
| /\
| |
+----->fc13
c2--+--->fc21
/\ |
| |
| +----->fc22
| | /\
| | |
| +----->fc23
| |
| |
| +----->fc24
|
|
c3---->fc31
|
|
+----->fc32
|
|
+----->fc33
| /\
| |
+----->fc34
Before version 6.2.0 the above configuration would result in cycle:
::
ERROR: 185.203.112.26: Cycle detected in object dependencies:
__file/tmp/cycle11 -> __cycle3/cycle3 -> __cycle2/cycle2 -> __cycle1/cycle1 -> __file/tmp/cycle11!
The following manifest shows an example for order dependency contexts:
.. code-block:: sh
__file /tmp/fileA
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/fileB
__file /tmp/fileC
__file /tmp/fileD
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__file /tmp/fileE
__file /tmp/fileF
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=1
__file /tmp/fileG
__file /tmp/fileH
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
__file /tmp/fileI
This means:
* C depends on B
* D depends on C
* H depends on G
and there are no other dependencies from this manifest.
Overrides
---------
In some special cases, you would like to create an already defined object
with different parameters. In normal situations this leads to an error in cdist.
If you wish, you can setup the environment variable CDIST_OVERRIDE
(any value or even empty is ok) to tell cdist, that this object override is
wanted and should be accepted.
ATTENTION: Only use this feature if you are 100% sure in which order
cdist encounters the affected objects, otherwise this results
in an undefined situation.
If CDIST_OVERRIDE and CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY are set for an object,
CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY will be ignored, because adding a dependency in case of
overrides would result in circular dependencies, which is an error.
Examples
--------
The initial manifest may for instance contain the following code:
.. code-block:: sh
# Always create this file, so other sysadmins know cdist is used.
__file /etc/cdist-configured
case "$__target_host" in
my.server.name)
__directory /root/bin/
__file /etc/issue.net --source "$__manifest/issue.net
;;
esac
The manifest of the type "nologin" may look like this:
.. code-block:: sh
__file /etc/nologin --source "$__type/files/default.nologin"
This example makes use of dependencies:
.. code-block:: sh
# Ensure that lighttpd is installed
__package lighttpd --state present
# Ensure that munin makes use of lighttpd instead of the default webserver
# package as decided by the package manager
require="__package/lighttpd" __package munin --state present
How to override objects:
.. code-block:: sh
# for example in the initial manifest
# create user account foobar with some hash for password
__user foobar --password 'some_fancy_hash' --home /home/foobarexample
# ... many statements and includes in the manifest later ...
# somewhere in a conditionally sourced manifest
# (e.g. for example only sourced if a special application is on the target host)
# this leads to an error ...
__user foobar --password 'some_other_hash'
# this tells cdist, that you know that this is an override and should be accepted
CDIST_OVERRIDE=yes __user foobar --password 'some_other_hash'
# it's only an override, means the parameter --home is not touched
# and stays at the original value of /home/foobarexample
Dependencies defined by execution order work as following:
.. code-block:: sh
# Tells cdist to execute all types in the order in which they are created ...
export CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY=on
__sample_type 1
require="__some_type_somewhere/id" __sample_type 2
__example_type 23
# Now this types are executed in the creation order until the variable is unset
unset CDIST_ORDER_DEPENDENCY
# all now following types cdist makes the order ..
__not_in_order_type 42
# how it works :
# this lines above are translated to:
__sample_type 1
require="__some_type_somewhere/id __sample_type/1" __sample_type 2
require="__sample_type/2" __example_type 23
__not_in_order_type 42

Messaging
=========
Description
-----------
cdist has a simple but powerful way of allowing communication between
the initial manifest and types as well as types and types.
Whenever execution is passed from cdist to one of the
scripts described below, cdist generate 2 new temporary files
and exports the environment variables **__messages_in** and
**__messages_out** to point to them.
Before handing over the control, the content of the global message
file is copied into the file referenced by **$__messages_in**.
After cdist gained control back, the content of the file referenced
by **$__messages_out** is appended to the global message file.
This way overwriting any of the two files by accident does not
interfere with other types.
The order of execution is not defined unless you create dependencies
between the different objects (see `cdist manifest <cdist-manifest.html>`_) and thus you
can only react reliably on messages by objects that you depend on.
Availability
------------
Messaging is possible between all **local** scripts:
- initial manifest
- type/manifest
- type/gencode-local
- type/gencode-remote
Examples
--------
When you want to emit a message use:
.. code-block:: sh
echo "something" >> "$__messages_out"
When you want to react on a message use:
.. code-block:: sh
if grep -q "^__your_type/object/id:something" "$__messages_in"; then
echo "I do something else"
fi
Some real life examples:
.. code-block:: sh
# Reacting on changes from block for keepalive
if grep -q "^__block/keepalive-vrrp" "$__messages_in"; then
echo /etc/init.d/keepalived restart
fi
# Reacting on changes of configuration files
if grep -q "^__file/etc/one" $__messages_in; then
echo 'for init in /etc/init.d/opennebula*; do $init restart; done'
fi
Restart sshd on changes
.. code-block:: sh
os="$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")"
case "$os" in
centos|redhat|suse)
restart="/etc/init.d/sshd restart"
;;
debian|ubuntu)
restart="/etc/init.d/ssh restart"
;;
*)
cat << eof >&2
Unsupported os $os.
If you would like to have this type running on $os,
you can either develop the changes and send a pull
request or ask for a quote at www.ungleich.ch
eof
exit 1
;;
esac
if grep -q "^__key_value/PermitRootLogin" "$__messages_in"; then

Parallelization
===============
Description
-----------
cdist has two modes of parallel operation.
One of them is to operate on each host in separate process. This is enabled
with :strong:`-p/--parallel` option.
The other way is to operate in parallel within one host where you specify
the number of jobs. This is enabled with :strong:`-j/--jobs` option where you
can specify the number of parallel jobs. By default,
:strong:`multiprocessing.cpu_count()` is used. For this mode global explorers,
object preparation and object run are supported.
You can, of course, use those two options together. This means that each host
will be processed by its own process. Within each process cdist will operate
using specified number of parallel jobs.
For more info on those options see :strong:`cdist`\ (1).
Examples
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Configure hosts read from file hosts.file in parallel
$ cdist config -p -f hosts.file
# Configure hosts read from file hosts.file sequentially but using default
# number of parallel jobs
$ cdist config -j -f hosts.file
# Configure hosts read from file hosts.file in parallel using 16
# parallel jobs
$ cdist config -j 16 -p -f hosts.file
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).
For example, if you reach :strong:`MaxSessions` sessions you may get the
following output:
.. code-block:: sh
$ cdist config -b -j 11 -v 78.47.116.244

PreOS
=====
Description
-----------
With cdist you can install and configure new machines. You can use cdist to
create PreOS, minimal OS whose purpose is to boot a new machine.
After PreOS is booted, the machine is ready for installing the desired OS and
afterwards it is ready for configuration.
PreOS creation
--------------
With cdist you can create PreOS.
Currently supported PreOS-es include:
* debian
* ubuntu
* devuan
PreOS is created using the ``cdist preos`` command.
This command has subcommands that determine the desired PreOS.
For example, to create an ubuntu PreOS:
.. code-block:: sh
$ cdist preos ubuntu /preos/preos-ubuntu -B -C \
-k ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -p /preos/pxe-ubuntu
For more info about the available options see the cdist manual page.
This will bootstrap (``-B``) ubuntu PreOS in the ``/preos/preos-ubuntu``
directory, it will be configured (``-C``) using default the built-in initial
manifest and with specified ssh authorized key (``-k``).
After bootstrapping and configuration, the PXE boot directory will be
created (``-p``) in ``/preos/pxe-ubuntu``.
After PreOS is created, new machines can be booted using the created PXE
(after proper dhcp and tftp settings).
Since PreOS is configured with ssh authorized key it can be accessed through
ssh, i.e. it can be further installed and configured with cdist.
Implementing a new PreOS sub-command
------------------------------------
preos command is implemented as a plugin system. This plugin system scans for
preos subcommands in the ``cdist/preos/`` distribution directory and also in
``~/.cdist/preos/`` directory if it exists.
preos subcommand is a module or a class that satisfies the following:
* it has the attribute ``_cdist_preos`` set to ``True``
* it defines a function/method ``commandline``.
For a module-based preos subcommand, the ``commandline`` function accepts a
module object as its first argument and the list of command line
arguments (``sys.argv[2:]``).
For a class-based preos subcommand ``commandline`` method should be
static-method and must accept a class as its first argument and the
list of command line arguments (``sys.argv[2:]``).
If preos scanning finds a module/class that has ``_cdist_preos`` set
to ``True`` and a function/method ``commandline`` then this module/class is
registered to preos subcommands. The name of the command is set to ``_preos_name``
attribute if defined in the module/class, defaulting to the module/class name in lowercase.
When a registered preos subcommand is specified, ``commandline``
will be called with the first argument set to module/class and the second
argument set to ``sys.argv[2:]``.
Example of writing new dummy preos sub-command
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Module-based preos:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#. Create directory ``~/.cdist/preos/`` if it does not exist
#. Create ``~/.cdist/preos/netbsd.py`` with the following contents:
.. code-block:: python
_preos_name = 'netbsd'
_cdist_preos = True
def commandline(cls, args):
print("NetBSD PreOS: {}".format(args))
When you try to run this new preos you will get:
.. code-block:: sh
$ cdist preos -L
Available PreOS-es:
- debian
- devuan
- netbsd
- ubuntu
$ cdist preos netbsd
NetBSD PreOS: []
Class based preos:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#. Create directory ``~/.cdist/preos/`` if it does not exist
#. Create ``~/.cdist/preos/freebsd.py`` with the following contents:
.. code-block:: python
class FreeBSD(object):
_cdist_preos = True
@classmethod
def commandline(cls, args):
print("FreeBSD dummy preos: {}".format(args))
When you try to run this new preos you will get:
.. code-block:: sh
$ cdist preos -h
Available PreOS-es:
- debian
- devuan
- freebsd
- ubuntu
$ cdist preos freebsd
FreeBSD dummy preos: []
In the ``commandline`` function/method you have all the freedom to actually create
a PreOS.

Quickstart
==========
This tutorial is aimed at people learning cdist and shows
typical approaches as well as gives an easy start into
the world of configuration management.
For those who just want to configure a system with the
cdist configuration management and do not need (or want)
to understand everything.
This tutorial assumes you are configuring **localhost**, because
it is always available. Just replace **localhost** with your target
host for real life usage.
Cdist uses **ssh** for communication and transportation
and usually logs into the **target host** as the
**root** user. So you need to configure the **ssh server**
of the target host to allow root logins: Edit
the file **/etc/ssh/sshd_config** and add one of the following
lines::
# Allow login only via public key
PermitRootLogin without-password
# Allow login via password and public key
PermitRootLogin yes
As cdist uses ssh intensively, it is recommended to setup authentication
with public keys::
# Generate pubkey pair as a normal user
ssh-keygen
# Copy pubkey over to target host
ssh-copy-id root@localhost
Have a look at ssh-agent(1) and ssh-add(1) on how to cache the password for
your public key. Usually it looks like this::
# Start agent and export variables
eval `ssh-agent`
# Add keys (requires password for every identity file)
ssh-add
At this point you should be able to **ssh root@localhost** without
re-entering the password. If something failed until here, ensure that
all steps went successfully and you have read and understood the
documentation.
As soon as you are able to login without password to localhost,
we can use cdist to configure it. You can copy and paste the following
code into your shell to get started and configure localhost::
# Get cdist
git clone git@code.ungleich.ch:ungleich-public/cdist.git
# Create manifest (maps configuration to host(s)
cd cdist
echo '__file /etc/cdist-configured' > cdist/conf/manifest/init
# Configure localhost in verbose mode
./bin/cdist config -v localhost
# Find out that cdist created /etc/cdist-configured
ls -l /etc/cdist-configured
Note: cdist/conf is configuration directory shipped with cdist distribution.
If exists, ~/.cdist, is also automatically used as cdist configuration
directory. So in the above example you could create ~/.cdist directory,
then ~/.cdist/manifest sub-directory and create init manifest
~/.cdist/manifest/init.
That's it, you've successfully used cdist to configure your first host!
Continue reading the next sections, to understand what you did and how
to create a more sophisticated configuration.

Dive into real world cdist
==========================
Introduction
------------
This walkthrough shows real world cdist configuration example.
Sample target host is named **test.ungleich.ch**.
Just replace **test.ungleich.ch** with your target hostname.
Our goal is to configure python application hosting. For writing sample
application we will use `Bottle <http://bottlepy.org>`_ WSGI micro web-framework.
It will use PostgreSQL database and it will list items from **items** table.
It will be served by uWSGI server. We will also use the Nginx web server
as a reverse proxy and we want HTTPS.
For HTTPS we will use Let's Encrypt certificate.
For setting up hosting we want to use cdist so we will write a new type
for that. This type will:
- install required packages
- create OS user, user home directory and application home directory
- create PostgreSQL database
- configure uWSGI
- configure Let's Encrypt certificate
- configure nginx.
Our type will not create the actual python application. Its intention is only
to configure hosting for specified user and project. It is up to the user to
create his/her applications.
So let's start.
Creating type layout
--------------------
We will create a new custom type. Let's call it **__sample_bottle_hosting**.
Go to **~/.cdist/type** directory (create it if it does not exist) and create
new type layout::
cd ~/.cdist/type
mkdir __sample_bottle_hosting
cd __sample_bottle_hosting
touch manifest gencode-remote
mkdir parameter
touch parameter/required
Creating __sample_bottle_hosting type parameters
------------------------------------------------
Our type will be configurable through the means of parameters. Let's define
the following parameters:
projectname
name for the project, needed for uWSGI ini file
user
user name
domain
target host domain, needed for Let's Encrypt certificate.
We define parameters to make our type reusable for different projects, user and domain.
Define required parameters::
printf "projectname\n" >> parameter/required
printf "user\n" >> parameter/required
printf "domain\n" >> parameter/required
For details on type parameters see `Defining parameters <cdist-type.html#defining-parameters>`_.
Creating __sample_bottle_hosting type manifest
----------------------------------------------
Next step is to define manifest (~/.cdist/type/__sample_bottle_hosting/manifest).
We also want our type to currently support only Devuan. So we will start by
checking target host OS. We will use `os <cdist-reference.html#explorers>`_
global explorer::
os=$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")
case "$os" in
devuan)
:
;;
*)
echo "OS $os currently not supported" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
If target host OS is not Devuan then we print error message to stderr
and exit. For other OS-es support we should check and change package names
we should install, because packages differ in different OS-es and in different
OS distributions like GNU/Linux distributions. There can also be a different
configuration locations (e.g. nginx config directory could be in /usr/local tree).
If we detected unsupported OS we should error out. cdist will stop configuration
process and output error message.
Creating user and user directories
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then we create user and his/her home directory and application home directory.
We will use existing cdist types `__user <man7/cdist-type__user.html>`_ and `__directory <man7/cdist-type__directory.html>`_::
user="$(cat "$__object/parameter/user")"
home="/home/$user"
apphome="$home/app"
# create user
__user "$user" --home "$home" --shell /bin/bash
# create user home dir
require="__user/$user" __directory "$home" \
--owner "$user" --group "$user" --mode 0755
# create app home dir
require="__user/$user __directory/$home" __directory "$apphome" \
--state present --owner "$user" --group "$user" --mode 0755
First we define *user*, *home* and *apphome* variables. User is defined by type's
**user** parameter. Here we use **require** which is cdist's way to define dependencies.
User home directory should be created **after** user is created. And application
home directory is created **after** both user and user home directory are created.
For details on **require** see `Dependencies <cdist-manifest.html#dependencies>`_.
Installing packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Install required packages using existing `__package <man7/cdist-type__package.html>`_ type.
Before installing package we want to update apt package index using
`__apt_update_index <man7/cdist-type__apt_update_index.html>`_::
# define packages that need to be installed
packages_to_install="nginx uwsgi-plugin-python3 python3-dev python3-pip postgresql postgresql-contrib libpq-dev python3-venv uwsgi python3-psycopg2"
# update package index
__apt_update_index
# install packages
for package in $packages_to_install
do require="__apt_update_index" __package $package --state=present
done
Here we use shell for loop. It executes **require="__apt_update_index" __package**
for each member in a list we define in **packages_to_install** variable.
This is much nicer then having as many **require="__apt_update_index" __package**
lines as there are packages we want to install.
For python packages we use `__package_pip <man7/cdist-type__package_pip.html>`_::
# install pip3 packages
for package in bottle bottle-pgsql; do
__package_pip --pip pip3 $package
done
Creating PostgreSQL database
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Create PostgreSQL database using `__postgres_database <man7/cdist-type__postgres_database.html>`_
and `__postgres_role <man7/cdist-type__postgres_role.html>`_ for creating database user::
#PostgreSQL db & user
postgres_server=postgresql
# create PostgreSQL db user
require="__package/postgresql" __postgres_role $user --login --createdb
# create PostgreSQL db
require="__postgres_role/$user __package/postgresql" __postgres_database $user \
--owner $user
Configuring uWSGI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configure uWSGI using `__file <man7/cdist-type__file.html>`_ type::
# configure uWSGI
projectname="$(cat "$__object/parameter/projectname")"
require="__package/uwsgi" __file /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/$user.ini \
--owner root --group root --mode 0644 \
--state present \
--source - << EOF
[uwsgi]
socket = $apphome/uwsgi.sock
chdir = $apphome
wsgi-file = $projectname/wsgi.py
touch-reload = $projectname/wsgi.py
processes = 4
threads = 2
chmod-socket = 666
daemonize=true
vacuum = true
uid = $user
gid = $user
EOF
We require package uWSGI present in order to create **/etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/$user.ini** file.
Installation of uWSGI also creates configuration layout: **/etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled**.
If this directory does not exist then **__file** type would error.
We also use stdin as file content source. For details see `Input from stdin <cdist-type.html#input-from-stdin>`_.
For feading stdin we use here-document (**<<** operator). It allows redirection of subsequent
lines read by the shell to the input of a command until a line containing only the delimiter
and a newline, with no blank characters in between (EOF in our case).
Configuring nginx for Let's Encrypt and HTTPS redirection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next configure nginx for Let's Encrypt and for HTTP -> HTTPS redirection. For this
purpose we will create new type **__sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect**
and use it here::
domain="$(cat "$__object/parameter/domain")"
webroot="/var/www/html"
__sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect "$domain" --webroot "$webroot"
Configuring certificate creation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After HTTP nginx configuration we will create Let's Encrypt certificate using
`__letsencrypt_cert <man7/cdist-type__letsencrypt_cert.html>`_ type.
For Let's Encrypt cert configuration ensure that there is a DNS entry for your
domain. We assure that cert creation is applied after nginx HTTP is configured
for Let's Encrypt to work::
# create SSL cert
require="__package/nginx __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect/$domain" \
__letsencrypt_cert --admin-email admin@test.ungleich.ch \
--webroot "$webroot" \
--automatic-renewal \
--renew-hook "service nginx reload" \
--domain "$domain" \
"$domain"
Configuring nginx HTTPS server with uWSGI upstream
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then we can configure nginx HTTPS server that will use created Let's Encrypt certificate::
# configure nginx
require="__package/nginx __letsencrypt_cert/$domain" \
__file "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/https-$domain" \
--source - --mode 0644 << EOF
upstream _bottle {
server unix:$apphome/uwsgi.sock;
}
server {
listen 443;
listen [::]:443;
server_name $domain;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/$domain/privkey.pem;
client_max_body_size 256m;
location / {
try_files \$uri @uwsgi;
}
location @uwsgi {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass _bottle;
}
}
EOF
Now our manifest is finished.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is complete __sample_bottle_hosting type manifest listing,
located in ~/.cdist/type/__sample_bottle_hosting/manifest::

}
}
EOF
Creating __sample_bottle_hosting type gencode-remote
----------------------------------------------------
Now define **gencode-remote** script: ~/.cdist/type/__sample_bottle_hosting/gencode-remote.
After manifest is applied it should restart uWSGI and nginx services so that our
configuration is active. Our gencode-remote looks like the following::
echo "service uwsgi restart"
echo "service nginx restart"
Our **__sample_bottle_hosting** type is now finished.
Creating __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect type
--------------------------------------------------------------
Let's now create **__sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect** type::
cd ~/.cdist/type
mkdir __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect
cd __sample_nginx_http_letsencrypt_and_ssl_redirect
mkdir parameter
echo webroot > parameter/required
touch manifest
touch gencode-remote
Edit manifest::
domain="$__object_id"
webroot="$(cat "$__object/parameter/webroot")"
# make sure we have nginx package
__package nginx
# setup Let's Encrypt HTTP acme challenge, redirect HTTP to HTTPS
require="__package/nginx" __file "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/http-$domain" \
--source - --mode 0644 << EOF
server {
listen *:80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name $domain;
# Let's Encrypt
location /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
root $webroot;
}
# Everything else -> SSL
location / {
return 301 https://\$host\$request_uri;
}
}
EOF
Edit gencode-remote::
echo "service nginx reload"
Creating init manifest
----------------------
Next create init manifest::
cd ~/.cdist/manifest
printf "__sample_bottle_hosting --projectname sample --user app --domain \$__target_host sample\n" > sample
Using this init manifest our target host will be configured using our **__sample_bottle_hosting**
type with projectname *sample*, user *app* and domain equal to **__target_host**.
Here the last positional argument *sample* is type's object id. For details on
**__target_host** and **__object_id** see
`Environment variables (for reading) <cdist-reference.html#environment-variables-for-reading>`_
reference.
Configuring host
----------------
Finally configure test.ungleich.ch::
cdist config -v -i ~/.cdist/manifest/sample test.ungleich.ch
After cdist configuration is successfully finished our host is ready.
Creating python bottle application
----------------------------------
We now need to create Bottle application. As you remember from the beginning
of this walkthrough our type does not create the actual python application,
its intention is only to configure hosting for specified user and project.
It is up to the user to create his/her applications.
Become app user::
su -l app
Preparing database
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need to prepare database for our application. Create table and
insert some items::
psql -c "create table items (item varchar(255));"
psql -c "insert into items(item) values('spam');"
psql -c "insert into items(item) values('eggs');"
psql -c "insert into items(item) values('sausage');"
Creating application
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next create sample app::
cd /home/app/app
mkdir sample
cd sample
Create app.py with the following content::
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import bottle
import bottle_pgsql
app = application = bottle.Bottle()
plugin = bottle_pgsql.Plugin('dbname=app user=app password=')
app.install(plugin)
@app.route('/')
def show_index(db):
db.execute('select * from items')
items = db.fetchall() or []
rv = '<html><body><h3>Items:</h3><ul>'
for item in items:
rv += '<li>' + str(item['item']) + '</li>'
rv += '</ul></body></html>'
return rv
if __name__ == '__main__':
bottle.run(app=app, host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)
Create wsgi.py with the following content::
import os
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(__file__))
import app
application = app.app
We have configured uWSGI with **touch-reload = $projectname/wsgi.py** so after
we have changed our **wsgi.py** file uWSGI reloads the application.
Our application selects and lists items from **items** table.
Openning application
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally try the application::
http://test.ungleich.ch/
It should redirect to HTTPS and return:
.. container:: highlight
.. raw:: html
<h3>Items:</h3>
<ul>
<li>spam</li>
<li>eggs</li>
<li>sausage</li>
</ul>
What's next?

Variable, path and type reference for cdist
Explorers
---------

- kernel_name
- lsb_codename
- lsb_description
- lsb_id
- lsb_release
- machine
- machine_type
- memory
- os
- os_release
- os_version
- runlevel
Paths
-----
$HOME/.cdist
The standard cdist configuration directory relative to your home directory.
This is usually the place you want to store your site specific configuration.
cdist/conf/
The distribution configuration directory.
This contains types and explorers to be used.
cdist/inventory/
The distribution inventory directory.
This path is relative to cdist installation directory.
cdist/preos/
The distribution PreOS plugins directory.
confdir
Cdist will use all available configuration directories and create
a temporary confdir containing links to the real configuration directories.
This way it is possible to merge configuration directories.
By default it consists of everything in $HOME/.cdist and cdist/conf/.
For more details see cdist(1).
confdir/files/
Cdist does not care about this directory besides providing access to it.
It is thought to be a general file storage area.
confdir/manifest/init
This is the central entry point.
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.
Its intent is to used to define mapping from configurations to hosts.
confdir/manifest/*
All other files in this directory are not directly used by cdist, but you
can separate configuration mappings, if you have a lot of code in the
conf/manifest/init file. This may also be helpful to have different admins
maintain different groups of hosts.
confdir/explorer/<name>
Contains explorers to be run on the target hosts, see `cdist explorer <cdist-explorer.html>`_.
confdir/type/
Contains all available types, which are used to provide
some kind of functionality. See `cdist type <cdist-type.html>`_.
confdir/type/<name>/
Home of the type <name>.
This directory is referenced by the variable __type (see below).
confdir/type/<name>/man.rst
Manpage in reStructuredText format (required for inclusion into upstream).
confdir/type/<name>/manifest
Used to generate additional objects from a type.
confdir/type/<name>/gencode-local
Used to generate code to be executed on the source host.
confdir/type/<name>/gencode-remote
Used to generate code to be executed on the target host.
confdir/type/<name>/parameter/required
Parameters required by type, \n separated list.
confdir/type/<name>/parameter/optional
Parameters optionally accepted by type, \n separated list.
confdir/type/<name>/parameter/default/*
Default values for optional parameters.
Assuming an optional parameter name of 'foo', it's default value would
be read from the file confdir/type/<name>/parameter/default/foo.
confdir/type/<name>/parameter/boolean
Boolean parameters accepted by type, \n separated list.
confdir/type/<name>/explorer
Location of the type specific explorers.
This directory is referenced by the variable __type_explorer (see below).
See `cdist explorer <cdist-explorer.html>`_.
confdir/type/<name>/files
This directory is reserved for user data and will not be used
by cdist at any time. It can be used for storing supplementary
files (like scripts to act as a template or configuration files).
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.

Objects
-------
For object to object communication and tests, the following paths are
usable within a object directory:
files
This directory is reserved for user data and will not be used
by cdist at any time. It can be used freely by the type
(for instance to store template results).
changed
This empty file exists in an object directory, if the object has
code to be executed (either remote or local).
stdin
This file exists and contains data, if data was provided on stdin
when the type was called.
Environment variables (for reading)
-----------------------------------
The following environment variables are exported by cdist:
__cdist_log_level, __cdist_log_level_name
cdist log level value and cdist log level name. One of:
+----------------+-----------------+
| Log level name | Log level value |
+================+=================+

type gencode.
__explorer
Directory that contains all global explorers.
Available for: initial manifest, explorer, type explorer, shell.
__files
Directory that contains content from the "files" subdirectories
from the configuration directories.
Available for: initial manifest, type manifest, type gencode, shell.
__manifest
Directory that contains the initial manifest.
Available for: initial manifest, type manifest, shell.
__global
Directory that contains generic output like explorer.
Available for: initial manifest, type manifest, type gencode, shell.
__messages_in
File to read messages from.
Available for: initial manifest, type manifest, type gencode.
__messages_out
File to write messages.

Remote exec and copy commands
=============================
Cdist interacts with the target host in two ways:
- it executes code (__remote_exec)
- and it copies files (__remote_copy)
By default this is accomplished with ssh and scp respectively.
The default implementations used by cdist are::
__remote_exec: ssh -o User=root
__remote_copy: scp -o User=root
The user can override these defaults by providing custom implementations and
passing them to cdist with the --remote-exec and/or --remote-copy arguments.
For __remote_exec, the custom implementation must behave as if it where ssh.
For __remote_copy, it must behave like scp.
Please notice, custom implementations should work like ssh/scp so __remote_copy
must support IPv6 addresses enclosed in square brackets. For __remote_exec you
must take into account that for some options (like -L) IPv6 addresses can be
specified by enclosed in square brackets (see :strong:`ssh`\ (1) and
:strong:`scp`\ (1)).
With this simple interface the user can take total control of how cdist
interacts with the target when required, while the default implementation
remains as simple as possible.

Saving output streams
=====================
Description
-----------
Since version 4.8.0 cdist, by default, saves output streams to local cache.
Saving output streams is implemented because important information was lost
during a config run, hidden in all other output.
Now all created output is bound to the context where it was produced.
Saving output streams include stdout and stderr of init manifest, remote
commands and for each object stdout and stderr of manifest, gencode-\* and code-\*.
Output stream files are created only if some output is produced. For more info
on these cache files see `Local cache overview <cdist-cache.html>`_.
Also, in case of an error, cdist can now exit and show all information it has
about the error.
For example:
.. code-block:: sh
$ ./bin/cdist config -v -i ~/.cdist/manifest/init-output-streams $(cat ~/ungleich/data/opennebula-debian9-test )

Execution stages
================
Description
-----------
When cdist is started, it passes through different stages.
Stage 1: target information retrieval
-------------------------------------
In this stage information is collected about the target host using so called
explorers. Every existing explorer is run on the target and the output of all
explorers are copied back into the local cache. The results can be used by
manifests and types.
Stage 2: run the initial manifest
---------------------------------
The initial manifest, which should be used for mappings of hosts to types,
is executed. This stage creates objects in a cconfig database that contains
the objects as defined in the manifest for the specific host. In this stage,
no conflicts may occur, i.e. no object of the same type with the same id may
be created, if it has different parameters.
Stage 3: object information retrieval
-------------------------------------
Every object is checked whether its type has explorers and if so, these are
executed on the target host. The results are transferred back
and can be used in the following stages to decide what changes need to be made
on the target to implement the desired state.
Stage 4: run the object manifest
--------------------------------
Every object is checked whether its type has a executable manifest. The
manifest script may generate and change the created objects. In other words,
one type can reuse other types.
For instance the object __apache/www.example.org is of type __apache, which may
contain a manifest script, which creates new objects of type __file.
The newly created objects are merged back into the existing tree. No conflicts
may occur during the merge. A conflict would mean that two different objects
try to create the same object, which indicates a broken configuration.
Stage 5: code generation
------------------------
In this stage for every created object its type is checked for executable
gencode scripts. The gencode scripts generate the code to be executed on the
target on stdout. If the gencode executables fail, they must print diagnostic
messages on stderr and exit non-zero.
Stage 6: code execution
-----------------------
For every object the resulting code from the previous stage is transferred to
the target host and executed there to apply the configuration changes.
Stage 7: cache
--------------
The cache stores the information from the current run for later use.
Summary
-------
If, and only if, all the stages complete without errors, the configuration
will be applied to the target.

Troubleshooting
===============
Error in manifest is not considered an error by cdist
-----------------------------------------------------
Situation: You are executing other scripts from a manifest.
This script fails, but cdist does not recognise the error.
An example script would be something like this:
.. code-block:: sh
% cat ~/.cdist/manifest/init
"$__manifest/special"
% cat ~/.cdist/manifest/special
#!/bin/sh
echo "Here is an unclean exiting script"
somecommandthatdoesnotexist
echo "I continue here although previous command failed"
We can clearly see that **somecommandthatdoesnotexist**
will fail in ~/.cdist/manifest/special. But as the custom
script is not called with the -e flag (exit on failure) of shell,
it does not lead to an error. And thus cdist sees the exit 0
code of the last echo line instead of the failing command.
All scripts executed by cdist carry the -e flag.
To prevent the above from happening, there are three solutions available,
two of which can be used in the calling script:
.. code-block:: sh
# Execute as before, but abort on failure
sh -e "$__manifest/special"
# Source the script in our namespace, runs in a set -e environment:
. "$__manifest/special"
The third solution is to include a shebang header in every script
you write to use the -e flag:
.. code-block:: sh
% cat ~/.cdist/manifest/special
#!/bin/sh -e
...
Using debug dump helper script
------------------------------
Since cdist stores data to local cache that can be used for debugging there
is a helper script that dumps data from local cache,
`cdist-dump <man1/cdist-dump.html>`_.
For more info see:
.. code-block:: sh
cdist-dump -h
Or from cdist git cloned directory:
.. code-block:: sh
./scripts/cdist-dump -h

cdist type
==========
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.
Synopsis
--------
.. code-block:: sh
__TYPE ID --parameter value [--parameter value ...]
__TYPE --parameter value [--parameter value ...] (for singletons)
How to use a type
-----------------
You can use types from the initial manifest or the type manifest like a
normal shell command:
.. code-block:: sh
# 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 <cdist-reference.html>`_ 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:
.. code-block:: sh
# __issue type manages /etc/issue
__issue
# Probably your own type - singletons may use parameters
__myfancysingleton --colour green
Config types
------------
By default types are used with config command. These are types that are not
flagged by any known command flag. If a type is marked then it will be skipped
with config command.
Install types
-------------
If a type is flagged with 'install' flag then it is used only with install command.
With other commands, i.e. config, these types are skipped if used.
Nonparallel types
-----------------
If a type is flagged with 'nonparallel' flag then its objects cannot be run in parallel
when using -j option. Example of such a type is __package_dpkg type where dpkg itself
prevents to be run in more than one instance.
Deprecated types
-----------------
If a type is flagged with 'deprecated' marker then it is considered deprecated.
When it is used cdist writes warning line. If 'deprecated' marker has content
then this content is printed as a deprecation messages, e.g.:
.. code-block:: sh
$ ls -l deprecated
-rw-r--r-- 1 darko darko 71 May 20 18:30 deprecated
$ cat deprecated
This type is deprecated. It will be removed in the next minor release.
$ echo '__foo foo' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
WARNING: 185.203.112.26: Type __foo is deprecated: This type is deprecated. It will be removed in the next minor release.
If 'deprecated' marker has no content then general message is printed, e.g.:
.. code-block:: sh
$ ls -l deprecated
-rw-r--r-- 1 darko darko 0 May 20 18:36 deprecated
$ echo '__bar foo' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
WARNING: 185.203.112.26: Type __bar is deprecated.
How to write a new type
-----------------------
A type consists of
- parameter (optional)
- manifest (optional)
- singleton (optional)
- explorer (optional)
- gencode (optional)
- nonparallel (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**.
Type manifest and gencode can be written in any language. They just need to be
executable and have a proper shebang. If they are not executable then cdist assumes
they are written in shell so they are executed using '/bin/sh -e' or 'CDIST_LOCAL_SHELL'.
For executable shell code it is suggested that shebang is '#!/bin/sh -e'.
For creating type skeleton you can use helper script
`cdist-new-type <man1/cdist-new-type.html>`_.
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.
Default values for optional parameters can be predefined in
**parameter/default/<name>**.
Example:
.. code-block:: sh
echo servername >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/required
echo logdirectory >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional
echo loglevel >> cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/optional
mkdir cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/default
echo warning > cdist/conf/type/__nginx_vhost/parameter/default/loglevel
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)
.. code-block:: sh
# required parameter
servername="$(cat "$__object/parameter/servername")"
# optional parameter
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/logdirectory" ]; then
logdirectory="$(cat "$__object/parameter/logdirectory")"
fi
# optional parameter with predefined default
loglevel="$(cat "$__object/parameter/loglevel")"
# 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/useful
done
fi
Deprecated parameters
---------------------
To deprecate type parameters one can declare a file for each deprecated
parameter under **parameter/deprecated** directory.
When such parameter is used cdist writes warning line with deprecation message.
If such file has content then this content is printed as deprecation message.
If there is no content then generic parameter deprecation message is printed.
Example:
.. code-block:: sh
$ ls parameter/deprecated/
eggs spam
$ cat parameter/deprecated/eggs
eggs parameter is deprecated, please use multiple egg parameter.
$ cat parameter/deprecated/spam
$ echo '__foo foo --foo foo --eggs eggs' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
WARNING: 185.203.112.26: eggs parameter of type __foo is deprecated: eggs parameter is deprecated, please use multiple egg parameter.
$ echo '__foo foo --foo foo --eggs eggs --spam spam' | ./bin/cdist config -i - 185.203.112.26
WARNING: 185.203.112.26: spam parameter of type __foo is deprecated.
WARNING: 185.203.112.26: eggs parameter of type __foo is deprecated: eggs parameter is deprecated, please use multiple egg parameter.
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)
.. code-block:: sh
__file /etc/rc.conf --source - << eof
...
HOSTNAME="$__target_host"
...
eof
If you have not seen this syntax (<< eof) before, it may help you to read
about "here documents".
In the __file type, stdin is used as source for the file, if - is used for source:
.. code-block:: sh
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/source" ]; then
source="$(cat "$__object/parameter/source")"
if [ "$source" = "-" ]; then
source="$__object/stdin"
fi
....
Stdin inside a loop
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since cdist saves type's stdin content in the object as **$__object/stdin**,
so it can be accessed in manifest and gencode-* scripts, this can lead to
unexpected behavior. For example, suppose you have some type with the following
in its manifest:
.. code-block:: sh
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/foo" ]
then
while read -r l
do
__file "$l"
echo "$l" >&2
done < "$__object/parameter/foo"
fi
and init manifest:
.. code-block:: sh
__foo foo --foo a --foo b --foo c
You expect that manifest stderr content is:
.. code-block:: sh
a
b
c
and that files *a*, *b* and *c* are created. But all you get in manifest stderr
is:
.. code-block:: sh
a
and only *a* file is created.
When redirecting parameter *foo* file content to while's stdin that means that all
commands in while body have this same stdin. So when *__file* type gets executed,
cdist saves its stdin which means it gets the remaining content of parameter *foo*
file, i.e.:
.. code-block:: sh
b
c
The solution is to make sure that your types inside such loops get their stdin
from somewhere else, e.g. for the above problem *__file* type can get empty
stdin from */dev/null*:
.. code-block:: sh
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/foo" ]
then
while read -r l
do
__file "$l" < /dev/null
echo "$l" >&2
done < "$__object/parameter/foo"
fi
Writing the manifest
--------------------
In the manifest of a type you can use other types, so your type extends
their functionality. A good example is the __package type, which in
a shortened version looks like this:
.. code-block:: sh
os="$(cat "$__global/explorer/os")"
case "$os" in
archlinux) type="pacman" ;;
debian|ubuntu) type="apt" ;;
gentoo) type="emerge" ;;
*)
echo "Don't know how to manage packages on: $os" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
__package_$type "$@"
As you can see, the type can reference different environment variables,
which are documented in `cdist reference <cdist-reference.html>`_.
Always ensure the manifest is executable, otherwise cdist will not be able
to execute it. For more information about manifests see `cdist manifest <cdist-manifest.html>`_.
Singleton - one instance only
-----------------------------
If you want to ensure that a type can only be used once per target, you can
mark it as a singleton: Just create the (empty) file "singleton" in your type
directory:
.. code-block:: sh
touch cdist/conf/type/__NAME/singleton
This will also change the way your type must be called:
.. code-block:: sh
__YOURTYPE --parameter value
As you can see, the object ID is omitted, because it does not make any sense,
if your type can be used only once.
Install - type with install command
-----------------------------------
If you want a type to be used with install command, you must mark it as
install: create the (empty) file "install" in your type directory:
.. code-block:: sh
touch cdist/conf/type/__install_NAME/install
With other commands, i.e. config, it will be skipped if used.
Nonparallel - only one instance can be run at a time
----------------------------------------------------
If objects of a type must not or cannot be run in parallel when using -j
option, you must mark it as nonparallel: create the (empty) file "nonparallel"
in your type directory:
.. code-block:: sh
touch cdist/conf/type/__NAME/nonparallel
For example, package types are nonparallel types.
The type explorers
------------------
If a type needs to explore specific details, it can provide type specific
explorers, which will be executed on the target for every created object.
The explorers are stored under the "explorer" directory below the type.
It could for instance contain code to check the md5sum of a file on the
client, like this (shortened version from the type __file):
.. code-block:: sh
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/destination" ]; then
destination="$(cat "$__object/parameter/destination")"
else
destination="/$__object_id"
fi
if [ -e "$destination" ]; then
md5sum < "$destination"
fi
Writing the gencode script
--------------------------
There are two gencode scripts: **gencode-local** and **gencode-remote**.
The output of gencode-local is executed locally, whereas
the output of gencode-remote is executed on the target.
The gencode scripts can make use of the parameters, the global explorers
and the type specific explorers.
If the gencode scripts encounters an error, it should print diagnostic
messages to stderr and exit non-zero. If you need to debug the gencode
script, you can write to stderr:
.. code-block:: sh
# Debug output to stderr
echo "My fancy debug line" >&2
# Output to be saved by cdist for execution on the target
echo "touch /etc/cdist-configured"
Notice: if you use __remote_copy or __remote_exec directly in your scripts
then for IPv6 address with __remote_copy execution you should enclose IPv6
address in square brackets. The same applies to __remote_exec if it behaves
the same as ssh for some options where colon is a delimiter, as for -L ssh
option (see :strong:`ssh`\ (1) and :strong:`scp`\ (1)).
Variable access from the generated scripts
------------------------------------------
In the generated scripts, you have access to the following cdist variables
- __object
- __object_id
but only for read operations, means there is no back copy of this
files after the script execution.
So when you generate a script with the following content, it will work:
.. code-block:: sh
if [ -f "$__object/parameter/name" ]; then
name="$(cat "$__object/parameter/name")"
else
name="$__object_id"
fi
Environment variable usage idiom
--------------------------------
In type scripts you can support environment variables with default values if
environment variable is unset or null by using **${parameter:-[word]}**
parameter expansion.
Example using mktemp in a portable way that supports TMPDIR environment variable.
.. code-block:: sh
tempfile=$(mktemp "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/cdist.XXXXXXXXXX")
Log level in types
------------------
cdist log level can be accessed from __cdist_log_level variable.One of:
+----------------+-----------------+
| Log level | Log level value |
+================+=================+
| OFF | 60 |
+----------------+-----------------+
| ERROR | 40 |
+----------------+-----------------+
| WARNING | 30 |
+----------------+-----------------+
| INFO | 20 |
+----------------+-----------------+
| VERBOSE | 15 |
+----------------+-----------------+
| DEBUG | 10 |
+----------------+-----------------+
| TRACE | 5 |
+----------------+-----------------+
It is available for initial manifest, explorer, type manifest,
type explorer, type gencode.
Detecting dry run
-----------------
If ``$__cdist_dry_run`` environment variable is set, then it's dry run.
It is available for initial manifest, explorer, type manifest,
type explorer, type gencode.
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 hacking <cdist-hacker.html>`_ on
how to submit it.

How to upgrade cdist
====================
Update the git installation
---------------------------
To upgrade cdist in the current branch use
.. code-block:: sh
git pull
# Also update the manpages
make man
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/doc/man
If you stay on a version branche (i.e. 1.0, 1.1., ...), nothing should break.
The master branch on the other hand is the development branch and may not be
working, break your setup or eat the tree in your garden.
Safely upgrading to new versions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To upgrade to **any** further cdist version, you can take the
following procedure to do a safe upgrade:
.. code-block:: sh
# Create new branch to try out the update
git checkout -b upgrade_cdist
# Get latest cdist version in git database
git fetch -v
# see what will happen on merge - replace
# master with the branch you plan to merge
git diff upgrade_cdist..origin/master
# Merge the new version
git merge origin/master
Now you can ensure all custom types work with the new version.
Assume that you need to go back to an older version during
the migration/update, you can do so as follows:
.. code-block:: sh
# commit changes
git commit -m ...
# go back to original branch
git checkout master
After that, you can go back and continue the upgrade:
.. code-block:: sh
# git checkout upgrade_cdist
Update the python package
-------------------------
To upgrade to the lastet version do
.. code-block:: sh
pip install --upgrade cdist
General update instructions
---------------------------
Updating from 3.0 to 3.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The type **\_\_ssh_authorized_keys** now also manages existing keys,
not only the ones added by cdist.
Updating from 2.3 to 3.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The **changed** attribute of objects has been removed.
Use `messaging </software/cdist/man/3.0.0/man7/cdist-messaging.html>`_ instead.
Updating from 2.2 to 2.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No incompatibilities.
Updating from 2.1 to 2.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starting with 2.2, the syntax for requiring a singleton type changed:
Old format:
.. code-block:: sh
require="__singleton_type/singleton" ...
New format:
.. code-block:: sh
require="__singleton_type" ...
Internally the "singleton" object id was dropped to make life more easy.
You can probably fix your configuration by running the following code
snippet (currently untested, please report back if it works for you):
.. code-block:: sh
find ~/.cdist/* -type f -exec sed -i 's,/singleton,,' {} \;
Updating from 2.0 to 2.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have a look at the update guide for [[2.0 to 2.1|2.0-to-2.1]].
* Type **\_\_package* and \_\_process** use --state **present** or **absent**.
The states **removed/installed** and **stopped/running** have been removed.
Support for the new states is already present in 2.0.
* Type **\_\_directory**: Parameter --parents and --recursive are now boolean
The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
* Type **\_\_rvm_ruby**: Parameter --default is now boolean
The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
* Type **\_\_rvm_gemset**: Parameter --default is now boolean
The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
* Type **\_\_addifnosuchline** and **\_\_removeline** have been replaced by **\_\_line**
* The **conf** directory is now located at **cdist/conf**.
You need to migrate your types, explorers and manifests
manually to the new location.
* Replace the variable **\_\_self** by **\_\_object_name**
Support for the variable **\_\_object_name** is already present in 2.0.
* The types **\_\_autofs**, **\_\_autofs_map** and **\_\_autofs_reload** have been removed
(no maintainer, no users)
* Type **\_\_user**: Parameter --groups removed (use the new \_\_user_groups type)
* Type **\_\_ssh_authorized_key** has been replaced by more flexible type
**\_\_ssh_authorized_keys**
Updating from 1.7 to 2.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Ensure python (>= 3.2) is installed on the source host
* Use "cdist config host" instead of "cdist-deploy-to host"
* Use "cdist config -p host1 host2" instead of "cdist-mass-deploy"
* Use "cdist banner" for fun
* Use **\_\_object_name** instead of **\_\_self** in manifests
Updating from 1.6 to 1.7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* If you used the global explorer **hardware_type**, you need to change
your code to use **machine** instead.
Updating from 1.5 to 1.6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* If you used **\_\_package_apt --preseed**, you need to use the new
type **\_\_debconf_set_selections** instead.
* The **\_\_package** types accepted either --state deinstalled or
--state uninstaaled. Starting with 1.6, it was made consistently
to --state removed.
Updating from 1.3 to 1.5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No incompatibilities.
Updating from 1.2 to 1.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rename **gencode** of every type to **gencode-remote**.
Updating from 1.1 to 1.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No incompatibilities.
Updating from 1.0 to 1.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In 1.1 the type **\_\_file** was split into **\_\_directory**, **\_\_file** and
**\_\_link**. The parameter **--type** was removed from **\_\_file**. Thus you
need to replace **\_\_file** calls in your manifests:
* Remove --type from all \_\_file calls
* If type was symlink, use \_\_link and --type symbolic
* If type was directory, use \_\_directory

Why should I use cdist?
=======================
There are several motivations to use cdist, these
are probably the most popular ones.
Known language
--------------
Cdist is being configured in
`shell script <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script>`_.
Shell script is used by UNIX system engineers for decades.
So when cdist is introduced, your staff does not need to learn a new
`DSL <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language>`_
or programming language.
Powerful language
-----------------
Not only is shell scripting widely known by system engineers,
but it is also a very powerful language. Here are some features
which make daily work easy:
* Configuration can react dynamicly on explored values
* High level string manipulation (using sed, awk, grep)
* Conditional support (**if, case**)
* Loop support (**for, while**)
* Support for dependencies between cdist types
More than shell scripting
-------------------------
If you compare regular shell scripting with cdist, there is one major
difference: When using cdist types,
the results are
`idempotent <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence>`_.
In practise that means it does not matter in which order you
call cdist types, the result is always the same.
Zero dependency configuration management
----------------------------------------
Cdist requires very little on a target system. Even better,
in almost all cases all dependencies are usually fulfilled.
Cdist does not require an agent or high level programming
languages on the target host: it will run on any host that
has a **ssh server running** and a posix compatible shell
(**/bin/sh**). Compared to other configuration management systems,
it does not require to open up an additional port.
Push based distribution
-----------------------
Cdist uses the push based model for configuration. In this
scenario, one (or more) computers connect to the target hosts
and apply the configuration. That way the source host has
very little requirements: Cdist can even run on a sysadmin
notebook that is loosely connected to the network and has
limited amount of resources.
Furthermore, from a security point of view, only one machine
needs access to the target hosts. No target hosts will ever
need to connect back to the source host, which contains the
full configuration.
Highly scalable
---------------
If at some point you manage more hosts than can be handled from
a single source host, you can simply add more resources: Either
add more cores to one host or add hosts.
Cdist will utilise the given resources in parallel.

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:
**-h, --help**
Show the help screen.
**-l LOGLEVEL, --log-level LOGLEVEL**
Set the specified verbosity level. The levels, in
order from the lowest to the highest, are: ERROR (-1),
WARNING (0), INFO (1), VERBOSE (2), DEBUG (3), TRACE (4
or higher). If used along with -v then -v increases
last set value and -l overwrites last set value.
**-q, --quiet**
Quiet mode: disables logging, including WARNING and ERROR.
**-v, --verbose**
Increase the verbosity level. Every instance of -v
increments the verbosity level by one. Its default
value is 0 which includes ERROR and WARNING levels.
The levels, in order from the lowest to the highest,
are: ERROR (-1), WARNING (0), INFO (1), VERBOSE (2),
DEBUG (3), TRACE (4 or higher). If used along with -l
then -l overwrites last set value and -v increases
last set value.
**-V, --version**
Show version and exit.
BANNER
------
Displays the cdist banner. Useful for printing
cdist posters - a must have for every office.

HOSTFILE FORMAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The HOSTFILE contains one host per line.
A comment is started with '#' and continues to the end of the line.
Any leading and trailing whitespace on a line is ignored.
Empty lines are ignored/skipped.
The Hostfile lines are processed as follows. 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.

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 correctly. 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 display a warning message. An example of 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.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Downloads and installs the consul-template binary from
https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template/releases/download/.
Generates a global config file and creates directory for per template config files.
Note that the consul-template binary is downloaded on the server (the machine running
cdist) and then deployed to the target host using the __file type.

The facility to use when sending to syslog. This requires the use of --syslog.
The default value is LOCAL0.
token
the Consul API token.
vault-address

cdist-type__consul_template_template(7)
=======================================
NAME
----
cdist-type__consul_template_template - Manage consul-template templates
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Generate and deploy template definitions for a consul-template.
See https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template#examples for documentation.
Templates are written in the Go template format.
Either the --source or the --source-file parameter must be given.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
destination
the destination where the generated file should go.
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
command
an optional command to run after rendering the template to its destination.
source
path to the template source. Conflicts --source-file.
source-file
path to a local file which is uploaded using the __file type and configured
as the source.
If source is '-' (dash), take what was written to stdin as the file content.
Conflicts --source.
state
if this template is 'present' or 'absent'. Defaults to 'present'.
wait
The `minimum(:maximum)` time to wait before rendering a new template to
disk and triggering a command, separated by a colon (`:`). If the optional
maximum value is omitted, it is assumed to be 4x the required minimum value.
This is a numeric time with a unit suffix ("5s"). There is no default value.
The wait value for a template takes precedence over any globally-configured
wait.
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# configure template on the target
__consul_template_template nginx \
--source /etc/my-consul-templates/nginx.ctmpl \
--destination /etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
--command 'service nginx restart'
# upload a local file to the target and configure it
__consul_template_template nginx \
--wait '2s:6s' \
--source-file "$__manifest/files/nginx.ctmpl" \
--destination /etc/nginx/nginx.conf \
--command 'service nginx restart'

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This type installs a file (=\ *__object_id*) under user's home directory,
providing a way to install per-user configuration files. File owner
and group is deduced from user, for who file is installed.
Unlike regular __file type, you do not need make any assumptions,
where user's home directory is.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
user
User, for who file is installed
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

MESSAGES
--------
This type inherits all messages from :strong:`file` type, and do not add
any new.
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Install .forward file for user 'alice'. Since state is 'present',
# user is not meant to edit this file, all changes will be overridden.
# It is good idea to put warning about it in file itself.
__dot_file .forward --user alice --source "$__files/forward"
# Install .muttrc for user 'bob', if not already present. User can safely
# edit it, his changes will not be overwritten.
__dot_file .muttrc --user bob --source "$__files/recommended_mutt_config" --state exists
# Install default xmonad config for user 'eve'. Parent directory is created automatically.
__dot_file .xmonad/xmonad.hs --user eve --state exists --source "$__files/xmonad.hs"

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This cdist type allows you to create files, remove files and set file
attributes on the target.
If the file already exists on the target, then if it is a:
regular file, and state is:
present
replace it with the source file if they are not equal
exists
do nothing
symlink
replace it with the source file
directory
replace it with the source file
One exception is that when state is pre-exists, an error is raised if
the file would have been created otherwise (e.g. it is not present or
not a regular file).
In any case, make sure that the file attributes are as specified.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
None.
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------

pre-exists
check that the file exists and is a regular file, but do not
create or modify it
group
Group to chgrp to. Defaults to ``root``.
mode
Unix permissions, suitable for chmod. Defaults to a very secure ``0600``.
owner
User to chown to. Defaults to ``root``.

If supplied, copy this file from the host running cdist to the target.
If not supplied, an empty file or directory will be created.
If source is '-' (dash), take what was written to stdin as the file content.
onchange
The code to run if file is modified.
MESSAGES
--------
chgrp <group>
Changed group membership
chown <owner>
Changed owner
chmod <mode>
Changed mode

# Create /etc/cdist-configured as an empty file
__file /etc/cdist-configured
# The same thing
__file /etc/cdist-configured --state present
# Use __file from another type
__file /etc/issue --source "$__type/files/archlinux" --state present
# Delete existing file
__file /etc/cdist-configured --state absent
# Supply some more settings
__file /etc/shadow --source "$__type/files/shadow" \
--owner root --group shadow --mode 0640 \
--state present
# Provide a default file, but let the user change it
__file /home/frodo/.bashrc --source "/etc/skel/.bashrc" \
--state exists \
--owner frodo --mode 0600

cdist-type__filesystem(7)
=========================
NAME
----
cdist-type__filesystem - Create Filesystems.
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This cdist type allows you to create filesystems on devices.
If the device is mounted on target, it refuses to do anything.
If the device has a filesystem other then the specified and/or
the label is not correct, it only makes a new filesystem
if you have specified --force option.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
fstype
Filesystem type, for example 'ext3', 'btrfs' or 'xfs'.
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
device
Blockdevice for filesystem, Defaults to object_id.
On linux, it can be any lsblk accepted device notation.
|
| For example:
| /dev/sdx
| or /dev/disk/by-xxxx/xxx
| or /dev/mapper/xxxx
label
Label which should be applied on the filesystem.
mkfsoptions
Additional options which are inserted to the mkfs.xxx call.
BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------
force
Normally, this type does nothing if a filesystem is found
on the target device. If you specify force, it's formatted
if the filesystem type or label differs from parameters.
Warning: This option can easily lead into data loss!
MESSAGES
--------
filesystem <fstype> on <device> \: <discoverd device> created
Filesystem was created on <discoverd device>
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Ensures that device /dev/sdb is formatted with xfs
__filesystem /dev/sdb --fstype xfs --label Testdisk1
# The same thing with btrfs and disk spezified by pci path to disk 1:0 on vmware
__filesystem dev_sdb --fstype btrfs --device /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:0b:00.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 --label Testdisk2
# Make sure that a multipath san device has a filesystem ...
__filesystem dev_sdb --fstype xfs --device /dev/mapper/360060e80432f560050202f22000023ff --label Testdisk3
