Help with Bolt Puppet DSL example

[Sandra Schlichting]

Dear all =)

I would like to learn Bolt with Puppet DSL, so I was wondering if someone could get me started with an example that:

* logs into a Linux host

* touch new_file_as_user

* sudo

* touch file_as_root

That would be very much appreciated =)

Hugs,

Sandra =)

Hi Sandra,

Bolt has two options: tasks and plans.

Tasks consist of a Script (Shell, Powershell, Python, Ruby) and a .json file.

Plans are written in Puppet DSL.

Main difference:

Tasks run workflow actions like stop a service, do something and restart the service.

Plans are used to control tasks over a number of nodes.

In you case I would head to a task.

When using pdf, you can run pdf new task within a module.

You can then use bolt to execute a task:

bolt task run <task name> —nodes <comma separated node list>

The task istself:

#modules/demo/tasks/test.sh

#!/bin/bash

touch <file>

sudo touch <file>

Hth,

Martin
