Using templates

[Andrey Ageyev]

Hi everyone,

I'm learning Puppet and I want to configure ssh server with different
port on different nodes.

Puppet v2.7.1

I have created module ssh:

content of modules/ssh/manifests/install.pp

class ssh::install {
package { "ssh":
ensure => present,
}
}

content of modules/ssh/manifests/service.pp
class ssh::service {
service { "ssh":
ensure => running,
hasstatus => true,
hasrestart => true,
enable => true,
require => Class["ssh::config"],
}
}
content of modules/ssh/manifests/config.pp

define ssh::config( $port = 22 ) {
file { "/etc/ssh/sshd_config":
ensure => present,
owner => 'root',
group => 'root',
mode => 0600,
content => template("ssh/sshd_config.erb"),
require => Class["ssh::install"],
notify => Class["ssh::service"],
}
}

modules/ssh/manifests/init.pp
define ssh($port = 22){
include ssh::install, ssh::service
ssh::config{puppet: port => $port}
}

And in the nodes.pp:

node default {
include ssh
ssh{ puppet: port => 3536 }
}

When I run
puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose --onetime
I got:
err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on
SERVER: Could not find class ssh for pclient.testlab.dev at /etc/
puppet/manifests/nodes.pp:2 on node pclient.testlab.dev

Tell me, please, how to pass parameter to the class from node?

Thanks,
Andrey.

Delete that "include ssh" line in the default node! That should make
it work the way you expect.

(You don't have a class named "ssh", which is what include is looking
for; instead, you have a defined type called "ssh." The way nodes.pp
is written now, it's trying to declare both class ssh and an instance
of the ssh type.)
