cdist #5: Generating Code & Exploring * Understanding how to generate code and when to use it ** define gencode-remote script: ~/.cdist/type/__nginx_site. After manifest is applied it should restart services so configuration is active. Our gencode-remote looks like echo "service nginx restart" * Modify the previously created type *__my_nginx_site* ** We modify the previously created type so that the gencode-remote script reacts accordingly - echo "if_configurationfile_changes" >> "$__messages_out" * Read about cdist messaging ** cdist has a simple but powerful way of allowing communication between the initial manifest and types as well as types and types. * What is the difference between gencode-local and gencode-remote? ** gencode-remote used to generate code to be executed on the target host ** gencode-local used to generate code to be executed on the source host
