Re: [Puppet Users] Copy script from source -> run it -> delete it again

[Denmat]

Hmm, this?

  exec { "/root/get_phantomjs.sh && rm -f /root/get_phantomjs.sh":

Maybe?

Hi,

i want to deploy a build script, run it and delete if afterwards.

To deploy and run, i use this:

  file { "/root/get_phantomjs.sh":

    ensure => present,

    mode => "0700",

    source => "puppet:///modules/phantomjs/get_phantomjs.sh",

    require => Package["libfontconfig1-dev"],

  }

  exec { "/root/get_phantomjs.sh":

    creates => "/usr/local/bin/phantomjs",

    require => File["/root/get_phantomjs.sh"],

  }

What would be an elegant way to delete the get_phantom.js file after the exec?

Yeah but the puppet resource 'file' will bring it back next run.


Assuming script is not containing anything of a security issue, you can
put it on a web server and do an exec like this:

exec { 'get_phantomjs':
command => 'wget http://example.com/get_phantomjs.sh &&
./get_phantomjs.sh && rm -f get_phantomjs.sh',
}

Another solution is a custom fact, which will say if the
'/usr/local/bin/phantomjs' file exists, but that's an
over-engineering... building a dam when all you need is a bridge :D

Hi,

So from a guess based on the name of the script it installs some
javascript file somewhere.
Am I correct?
With maybe something extra like optimising it afterwards?

Is there any reason you can't optimize that file and get puppet to
"install" it on your node?
This will give you a whole lot more repeatability than using a script.
You could even put in in an rpm or dpkg and put it in local repository
and install it as a package.
