We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

To disable default values for incoming_chmod and outgoing_chmod, and do not add empty values to the resulting config, set both values to false

include rsync::server
rsync::server::module { 'repo':
  path           => $base,
  incoming_chmod => false,
  outgoing_chmod => false,
  require        => File[$base],
}

Configuring via Hiera

rsync::put, rsync::get, and rsync::server::module resources can be configured using Hiera hashes. For example:

rsync::server::modules:
  myrepo:
    path: /mypath
    incoming_chmod: false
    outgoing_chmod: false
  myotherrepo:
    path: /otherpath
    read_only: false
