Beginning with the module

When deployed, the directory of the module should be renamed to fhs_app_vcs.

Parameters can be provided with both methods, for the class fhs_app_vcs.

Usage

The following parameters are used:

  • defaults A hash that defines the default parameters. It is hard coded into params.pp and can be ignored. They are used when the other hashes are missing or incomplete.

  • vcs A hash that defines the parameters for the vcs class. These will be used to clone/pull repositories and apply permissions and ownership to files. Repositories and locations are customizable. If no vcs params are provided, no changes will be made. Multiple vcs repos can be provided.

The file HOWTO.md details sample usage with manifests and hiera.

  • fhs_app, which initializes the module are accepts parameters
  • fhs_app::params, which is autoloaded to retrieve parameters
  • fhs_app::childs, which is autoloaded to manage the provided repositories

The parameterized vcsrepo and file resources are managed as configured, as defined for params vcs.
