Puppet Class: stdlib::manage

Defined in:
manifests/manage.pp

Summary

A simple place to define trivial resources

Overview

Sometimes your systems require a single simple resource. It can feel unnecessary to create a module for a single resource. There are a number of possible patterns to generate trivial resource definitions. This is an attempt to create a single clear method for uncomplicated resources. There is limited support for ‘before`, `require`, `notify`, and `subscribe`. However, the target resources must be defined before this module is run.

stdlib::manage::create_resources:

file:
  '/etc/motd.d/hello':
    content: I say Hi
    notify: 'Service[sshd]'
package:
  example:
    ensure: installed

Examples:

class { 'stdlib::manage':
    'create_resources' => {
      'file' => {
        '/etc/motd.d/hello' => {
          'content' => 'I say Hi',
          'notify' => 'Service[sshd]',
        }
      },
      'package' => {
        'example' => {
          'ensure' => 'installed',
        }
      }
    }

Parameters:

  • create_resources (Hash[String, Hash]) (defaults to: {}) —

    A hash of resources to create NOTE: functions, such as ‘template` or `epp` are not evaluated.
