Overview

The concat module lets you construct files from multiple ordered fragments of text.

Module Description

The concat module lets you gather concat::fragment resources from your other modules and order them into a coherent file through a single concat resource.

Beginning with concat

To start using concat you need to create:

• A concat{} resource for the final file.
• One or more concat::fragment{}s.

A minimal example might be:

concat { '/tmp/file':
  ensure => present,
}

concat::fragment { 'tmpfile':
  target  => '/tmp/file',
  content => 'test contents',
  order   => '01'
}

Usage

Maintain a list of the major modules on a node

To maintain an motd file that lists the modules on one of your nodes, first create a class to frame up the file:

class motd {
  $motd = '/etc/motd'

  concat { $motd:
    owner => 'root',
    group => 'root',
    mode  => '0644'
  }

  concat::fragment { 'motd_header':
    target  => $motd,
    content => "\nPuppet modules on this server:\n\n",
    order   => '01'
  }

  # let local users add to the motd by creating a file called
  # /etc/motd.local
  concat::fragment { 'motd_local':
    target => $motd,
    source => '/etc/motd.local',
    order  => '15'
  }
}

# let other modules register themselves in the motd
define motd::register (
  $content = "",
  $order   = '10',
) {
  if $content == "" {
    $body = $name
  } else {
    $body = $content
  }

  concat::fragment { "motd_fragment_$name":
    target  => '/etc/motd',
    order   => $order,
    content => "    -- $body\n"
  }
}

Then, in the declarations for each module on the node, add motd::register{ 'Apache': } to register the module in the motd.

class apache {
  include apache::install, apache::config, apache::service

  motd::register { 'Apache': }
}

These two steps populate the /etc/motd file with a list of the installed and registered modules, which stays updated even if you just remove the registered modules' include lines. System administrators can append text to the list by writing to /etc/motd.local.

When you're finished, the motd file will look something like this:

  Puppet modules on this server:

    -- Apache
    -- MySQL

  <contents of /etc/motd.local>

Defined types

concat

Manages a file, compiled from one or more text fragments.

backup

Data type: Variant[Boolean, String]
