PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8)NAME
puppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in a filebucket
SYNOPSIS
A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.
USAGE
puppet filebucket mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server] [-b|--bucket
directory] file file ...
Puppet filebucket can operate in three modes, with only one mode per call:
backup: Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent file is printed with its resulting md5 sum.
get: Return the text associated with an md5 sum. The text is printed to stdout, and only one file can be retrieved at a time.
restore: Given a file path and an md5 sum, store the content associated with the sum into the specified file path. You can specify an
entirely new path to this argument; you are not restricted to restoring the content to its original location.
DESCRIPTION
This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or central filebucket.
Note that 'filebucket' defaults to using a network-based filebucket available on the server named 'puppet'. To use this, you'll have to be
running as a user with valid Puppet certificates. Alternatively, you can use your local file bucket by specifying '--local'.
OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a
valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir directory' as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with '--genconfig'.
--debug
Enable full debugging.
--help Print this help message
--local
Use the local filebucket. This will use the default configuration information.
--remote
Use a remote filebucket. This will use the default configuration information.
--server
The server to send the file to, instead of locally.
--verbose
Print extra information.
--version
Print version information.
EXAMPLE
$ puppet filebucket backup /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
$ puppet filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949

PUPPET-RESOURCE(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-RESOURCE(8)NAME
puppet-resource - The resource abstraction layer shell
SYNOPSIS
Uses the Puppet RAL to directly interact with the system.
USAGE
puppet resource [-h|--help] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-e|--edit] [-H|--host host] [-p|--param parameter] [-t|--types] type [name]
[attribute=value ...]
DESCRIPTION
This command provides simple facilities for converting current system state into Puppet code, along with some ability to modify the current
state using Puppet's RAL.
By default, you must at least provide a type to list, in which case puppet resource will tell you everything it knows about all resources
of that type. You can optionally specify an instance name, and puppet resource will only describe that single instance.
If given a type, a name, and a series of attribute=value pairs, puppet resource will modify the state of the specified resource. Alter-
nately, if given a type, a name, and the '--edit' flag, puppet resource will write its output to a file, open that file in an editor, and
then apply the saved file as a Puppet transaction.
OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a
valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir directory' as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with '--genconfig'.
--debug
Enable full debugging.
--edit Write the results of the query to a file, open the file in an editor, and read the file back in as an executable Puppet manifest.
--host When specified, connect to the resource server on the named host and retrieve the list of resouces of the type specified.
--help Print this help message.
--param
Add more parameters to be outputted from queries.
--types
List all available types.
--verbose
Print extra information.
EXAMPLE
This example uses puppet resource to return a Puppet configuration for the user luke:
$ puppet resource user luke
user { 'luke':
home => '/home/luke',
uid => '100',
ensure => 'present',
comment => 'Luke Kanies,,,',
gid => '1000',
shell => '/bin/bash',
groups => ['sysadmin','audio','video','puppet']
}
