using facter variables in filenames

[Tim Dunphy]

Hi All,

 I'm attempting to distribute TLS certs based on the $hostname fact in my config manifest like so:

class bacula::config {

  file { "/etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf":

      notify  => Service["bacula-fd"],

      owner => "root",

      group => "root",

      mode => 0640,

      require => Package["bacula-client","bacula-common"],

      content => template("bacula/bacula_fd__config.erb"),

     }

    file { "/etc/pki/tls/private/$hostname.mydomain.com.key":

      notify  => Service["bacula-fd"],

      owner => "root",

      group => "root",

      mode => 04000,

      require => Package["bacula-client","bacula-common"],

      source => "puppet:///modules/$hostname/$hostname.mydomain.com.key",

     }

}

Correct me if I'm wrong, but should the above syntax not work?

Because I see when I try to run the config on the client site I get this error:

[root@puppet:/etc/puppet] #puppet agent --test

Info: Retrieving plugin

Info: Caching catalog for puppet.mydomain.com

Info: Applying configuration version '1391015907'

Notice: /Stage[main]/Bacula::Install/Exec[create_working_dir]/returns: executed successfully

Error: /Stage[main]/Bacula::Config/File[/etc/pki/tls/private/puppet.mydomain.com.key]: Could not evaluate: Could not retrieve information from environment production source(s) puppet:///modules/puppet/puppet.mydomain.com.key

Warning: /Stage[main]/Bacula::Service/Service[bacula-fd]: Skipping because of failed dependencies

Notice: Finished catalog run in 1.63 seconds

Can someone please offer an opinion as to why this may not be working?

Thanks

Tim

You have to use {}.  So it should be something like

   source => "puppet:///modules/${::hostname}/${::hostname}.mydomain.com.key",

I've used :: too to avoid looking at the local scope.

Ups. Looking it again you forgot to set the module name in the puppet://

So the {} is not needed although I think is a good practice

Hey all,

Yup! You caught it. Managed to notice this as well, so forgive the intrusion on your day. 

But I was missing the module name. 

file { "/etc/pki/tls/certs/$hostname.mydomain.com.crt":

      notify  => Service["bacula-fd"],

      owner => "root",

      group => "root",

      mode => 04000,

      require => Package["bacula-client","bacula-common"],

      source => "puppet:///modules/bacula/$hostname/$hostname.mydomain.com.crt",

     }

That actually works! But thanks for the tip on using {} in my variables. I'll start using that now.

Thanks,

Tim

just start using ${variable} when used in a string (double quoted) . and also use explicit scoping.  It is a very good habit and you will only benefit from it.

( and everybody else, including you,  reading your code)

Thanks! I'll make sure to follow your advice. I appreciate your input.
