Module Description

This module handles installing and configuring Bash across a range of operating systems and distributions.

Setup

What bash affects

• bash package.
• bash configuration file.

Setup Requirements

• Puppet >= 3.0
• Facter >= 1.6
• Extlib module
• Stdlib module

Beginning with bash

Install bash with the default parameters (No configuration files will be changed).

class { 'bash': }

Install bash with the recommended parameters.

class { 'bash':
config_file_template => "bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel/bashrc.erb",
config_file_hash => {
'.bash_aliases_skel' => {
config_file_path => '/etc/skel/.bash_aliases',
config_file_source => 'puppet:///modules/bash/common/etc/skel/bash_aliases',
},
'.bash_aliases_root' => {
config_file_path => '/root/.bash_aliases',
config_file_source => 'puppet:///modules/bash/common/etc/skel/bash_aliases',
},
'.bashrc' => {
config_file_path => '/root/.bashrc',
config_file_template => "bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel/bashrc.erb",
},
},
}

Usage

Update the bash package.

class { 'bash':
package_ensure => 'latest',
}

Remove the bash package.

class { 'bash':
package_ensure => 'absent',
}

Purge the bash package (All configuration files will be removed).

class { 'bash':
package_ensure => 'purged',
}

Deploy the configuration files from source directory.

class { 'bash':
config_dir_source => "puppet:///modules/bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel",
}

Deploy the configuration files from source directory (Unmanaged configuration files will be removed).

class { 'bash':
config_dir_purge => true,
config_dir_source => "puppet:///modules/bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel",
}

Deploy the configuration file from source.

class { 'bash':
config_file_source => "puppet:///modules/bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel/bashrc",
}

Deploy the configuration file from string.

class { 'bash':
config_file_string => '# THIS FILE IS MANAGED BY PUPPET',
}

Deploy the configuration file from template.

class { 'bash':
config_file_template => "bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel/bashrc.erb",
}

Deploy the configuration file from custom template (Additional parameters can be defined).

class { 'bash':
config_file_template => "bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel/bashrc.erb",
config_file_options_hash => {
'key' => 'value',
},
}

Deploy additional configuration files from source, string or template.

class { 'bash':
config_file_hash => {
'bashrc.2nd.conf' => {
config_file_path => '/etc/skel/bashrc.2nd.conf',
config_file_source => "puppet:///modules/bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel/bashrc.2nd.conf",
},
'bashrc.3rd.conf' => {
config_file_path => '/etc/skel/bashrc.3rd.conf',
config_file_string => '# THIS FILE IS MANAGED BY PUPPET',
},
'bashrc.4th.conf' => {
config_file_path => '/etc/skel/bashrc.4th.conf',
config_file_template => "bash/${::lsbdistcodename}/etc/skel/bashrc.4th.conf.erb",
},
},
}
