Copy file from Agent to Master

[Dennis Sullivan]

Hi Puppet Users,

Can someone provide input. I am trying to write a file from the puppet agent (i.e. /etc/ssh/host.pub) to the puppet master that has a custom mount point on it.  I don't want to have share the NFS out mount out globally.  Is there a resources that will allow me to accomplish this?  I tried the file resource source => puppet:///<custommountpoint> but it keeps telling me the source needs to be fully qualified.

Thank you in advanced,

[Martin Alfke]

Hi Dennis,

Your email is a little bit confusing.

On one hand you mention that you have a file on an agent, which you like to be copied to the puppet server.

On the other hand you mention the file resource being copied from the puppet server.

Solution 1: Make a file from the agent available to the puppet server:

You can use exported resources to accomplish this.

On the agent you use an exported resource.

This resource is not added to the agent catalog, but stored via PuppetDB:

@@file { ‘/etc/ssh/host.pub’:

  ensure => file,

  …

}

On the server you use the collector, who fetches the information from PuppetDB:

File <<| title == ‘/etc/ssh/host.pub’ |>>

Solution 2: Make a folder available on the puppet server to allow usage of source parameter with custom path

You need to create an additional mount point.

Hth,

Martin
