Description

This module allows PowerShell repositories to be registered as package sources and PowerShell modules to be installed using the Puppet Package type.

The module supports Windows PowerShell (PowerShell 5) and PowerShell Core (PowerShell 6)

Setup

Windows PowerShell

For Windows PowerShell the PowerShellGet PowerShell module must be installed as well as the NuGet package provider. PowerShellGet is included with WMF5 or can be installed for earlier versions here http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=746217&clcid=0x409

PowerShell Core

PowerShellGet is included in PowerShell Core so no additional setup is necessary.

Usage

Install PowerShellGet PackageProviders

You can install PackageProviders for PowerShelLGet using the pspackageprovider type.

pspackageprovider {'ExampleProvider':
  ensure   => 'present',
  provider => 'windowspowershell',
}

In order to use this module to to get packages from a PSRepository like the PSGallery, you will have to ensure the Nuget provider is installed:

pspackageprovider {'Nuget':
  ensure   => 'present',
  provider => 'windowspowershell',
}

You can optionally specify the version of a PackageProvider using the version parameter.

pspackageprovider {'Nuget':
  ensure   => 'present',
  version  => '2.8.5.208',
  provider => 'windowspowershell',
}

Register an internal PowerShell repository

psrepository { 'my-internal-repo':
  ensure              => present,
  source_location     => 'http://myrepo.corp.com/api/nuget/powershell',
  installation_policy => 'trusted',
  provider            => 'windowspowershell',
}

Manifests can then refer to that repository using the package resource.

package { 'nameOfInternallyDevelopedModule':
  ensure   => '1.0.5',
  source   => 'my-internal-repo',
  provider => 'windowspowershell',
}

*Windows users should remember that package names in Puppet are case sensitive.

Use the PowerShell Gallery

You can install modules from the PowerShell Gallery by default once the setup instructions have been followed. You do not need to specify the PSGallery with the psrepository type.

package { 'Pester':
  ensure   => '4.0.3',
  source   => 'PSGallery',
  provider => 'powershellcore',
}

Side by side installation

On Windows, PowerShell Core is installed along side Windows PowerShell and maintains its modules separately. To install the same module for both versions then use a unique resource title and specify the name property.

package { 'PSExcel-wps':
  ensure   => latest,
  name     => 'PSExcel',
  provider => 'windowspowershell',
  source   => 'PSGallery',
}

package { 'PSExcel-psc':
  ensure   => latest,
  name     => 'PSExcel',
  provider => 'powershellcore',
  source   => 'PSGallery',
}

The provider

The provider to use will either be windowspowershell or powershellcore. Nodes using powershell.exe will use windowspowershell, and nodes that have PowerShell core (pwsh.exe) will use the powershellcore provider with both the psrepository and package types.

Full Working example

This complete example shows how to bootstrap the system with the Nuget package provider, ensure the PowerShell Gallery repository is configured and trusted, and install two modules (one using the WindowsPowerShell provider and one using the PowerShellCore provider).

pspackageprovider {'Nuget':
  ensure => 'present'
}

psrepository { 'PSGallery':
  ensure              => present,
  source_location     => 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/',
  installation_policy => 'trusted',
}

package { 'xPSDesiredStateConfiguration':
  ensure   => latest,
  provider => 'windowspowershell',
  source   => 'PSGallery',
  install_options => [ '-AllowClobber' ]
}

package { 'Pester':
  ensure   => latest,
  provider => 'powershellcore',
  source   => 'PSGallery',
}

Limitations

Note that PowerShell modules can be installed side by side so installing a newer version of a module will not remove any previous versions.

As detailed in https://github.com/OneGet/oneget/issues/308, installing PackageProviders from a offline location instead of online is currently not working. A workaround is to use the Puppet file resource to ensure the prescence of the file before attempting to use the NuGet PackageProvider.

The following is an incompelete example that copies the NuGet provider dll to the directory that PowerShellGet expects. You would have to modify this declaration to complete the permissions for the target and the location of the source file.

file{"C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies\nuget\2.8.5.208\Microsoft.PackageManagement.NuGetProvider.dll":
  ensure => 'file',
  source => "$source\nuget\2.8.5.208\Microsoft.PackageManagement.NuGetProvider.dll"
}

Reference

package

puppet-powershellmodule implements a package type with a resource provider, which is built into Puppet.

The implementation supports the install_options attribute which can be used to pass additional options to the PowerShell Install-Modules command, e.g.:

package { 'xPSDesiredStateConfiguration':
  ensure   => latest,
  provider => 'windowspowershell',
  source   => 'PSGallery',
  install_options => [ '-AllowClobber',
                       { '-proxy' => 'http://proxy.local.domain' }  ]
}

pspackageprovider

Properties/Parameters

`ensure`

Specifies what state the PowerShellGet provider should be in. Valid options: present and absent. Default: present.

`name`

Specifies the name of the PowerShellGet provider to install.

`version`

Specifies the version of the PowerShellGet provider to install

psrepository

Allows you to specify and configure a repository. The type expects a valid OneGet package provider source over an HTTP or HTTPS url.

Properties/Parameters

`name`

The name of the gallery to register on the computer. Must be unique. Cannot use PSGallery as the value for this property.

`source_location`

The url to the repository that you would like to register. Must be a valid HTTP or HTTPS url. This url will be used for the underlying SourceLocation property and will be used as the base url for PublishLocation, ScriptSourceLocation, ScriptPublishLocation. Cannot use the same url as the default gallery, PSGallery.

`installation_policy`

Manages the installation policy used for the PSRepository. Valid values are trusted or untrusted

Providers

`windowspowershell`

The provider for systems that have powershell.exe (PowerShell versions less than 6).

`powershellcore`

The provider for systems that use PowerShell core via pwsh.exe.

Development

2.1.0 (2020-04-28)

psrepository - Fixed the inability to register psrepoositorys when none are registered on the node prior to puppet due to bug in instances_command expecting a returned hashtable. (Bugfix)
psrepository - Many fixes around the default powershell gallery repo due to the flush command attempting to set the source_location of the repo. (Bugfix)
psrepository - Fixed the inability to change the installation policy of a pre-existing powershell gallery repo (Bugfix)
psrepository - Fixed the inability to register the powershell gallery repo (Bugfix)
package - Fixed the inability to upgrade previously installed modules with -AllowClobber. This would previously fail with an error if a cmdlet was moved to a new module. Powershell would error stating the cmdlet exists in the system already within a module and you need to specific -AllowClobber to install the new one. (Bugfix)
Converted the module over to PDK for validation and spec testing. (Feature)
Enabled Travis builds (Feature)
Enabled TLSv1.2 which is required to communicate with PowerShell Gallery. Previously, this module did not enforce TLSv1.2 and the repository setup commands would fail. (Bugfix)

      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
