Puppet: Conditional file source based on naming convention
- by thinice
I'm getting the ball rolling on puppet for my environment - and I'd like to have a conditional file resource based on whether or not the module itself contains a file based on a naming convention.
So visually, assume a module named 'mysql' and it's layout:
mysql/
/files
/etc/
my.cnf
my.hostname1.cnf
my.hostname2.cnf
/manifests
init.pp
...
So I'd like the block to verify if the resource for the module exists or not, and take action accordingly, in pseudo-terms:
file { '/etc/my.cnf':
if -f 'puppet:///mysql/etc/my.$hostname.cnf' {
source => 'puppet:///mysql/etc/my.$hostname.cnf'
}
else {
source => 'puppet:///mysql/etc/my.cnf'
}
}
This way one wouldn't have to manage a csv file or the .pp file with a host specific case statement - is this possible?
