Puppet Class: file_capability

Defined in:
manifests/init.pp

Summary

Manage Linux file capabilities and the required utility package

Overview

Manage Linux file capabilities and the required utility package

Examples:

Declare the class using hiera provided defaults

include file_capability

Parameters:

  • manage_package (Boolean) —

    Whether to manage the package providing the ‘getcap` and `setcap` executables with this class. If the package is managed by this class it will be installed before any `file_capability` resource is created. The default value is `true` as defined in the module hiera data.

  • package_ensure (String) —

    The state the package should be in. Normally this is either one of the strings ‘installed` or `latest` or a specific version number of the package. The module hiera data provides the default value `installed`.

  • package_name (String) —

    The name of the package to install. This parameter is operating system specific and the default is taken from the module hiera data.

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

    A hash used to create ‘file_capability` resources. This parameter helps to configure file capabilities in hiera without the need to create an additional helper class.
