Basic question

Is it possible to extract a tarball using the puppet module, and then set the permission of all the directory after that?

Would one select a provider and then provide the tarball filename as the argument somehow?

I am not intimately familiar with them, but I think the modules puppet/archive or puppet/staging will do what you want.

You could probably use a combination of "file {}" to place the tarball on the target node, and "exec {}" to unpack it and set permissions, using the "creates" parameter.

The puppet/archive module is one of several modules which can do this.
There are lots of good examples of how to use it at
