puppet-rundeck-2013

Integrates Puppet with RunDeck.

Visiting the URL, for example localhost:8144, should return a list of all nodes on the Puppet master and populates the appropriate facts for use with RunDeck.

Note: Version 0.0.2 required stored configuration to be enabled. Later versions do not.

Prerequisites

Requires:

• Puppet (0.25.5 and later)

• Builder (2.0.0 and later)

Installation

Install the gem:

$ sudo gem install puppet-rundeck-2013

Usage

Run the puppet-rundeck binary. We’ve assumed you’re running puppet-rundeck on the Puppet master host.

$ puppet-rundeck

Then browse to appropriate URL, by default localhost:8144

$ curl localhost:8144

A list of the current hosts and appropriate facts to configure them on RunDeck will be returned in XML.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//DTO Labs Inc.//DTD Resources Document 1.0//EN" "project.dtd">
<project>
  <node name="pelin.lovedthanlost.net"
  type="Node"
  description="pelin.lovedthanlost.net"
  osArch="Linux"
  osFamily="Linux"
  osName="Fedora"
  osVersion="14"
  tags="production"
  username="root"
  hostname="pelin.lovedthanlost.net"/>
</project>

To use with RunDeck specify the target URL as the value of the project.resources.url option in the project.properties file for your project, for example:

project.resources.url = http://localhost:8144

You can also specify a required tag to filter the node list, to provide different project URLs based on the same puppet server and puppet-rundeck instance:

project.resources.url = http://localhost:8144/tag/production

You can also specify a required facts to filter the node list, to provide different project URLs based on the same puppet server and puppet-rundeck instance:

project.resources.url = http://localhost:8144/facts/timezone=UTC&uptime_days=0

In the version puppet-rundeck-2013 you can also pass configuration flags for puppet-rundeck.

• user=rundeck_ssh_username - to override SSH user for Rundeck

• use_tags=0 - to avoid adding default tags puppet from puppetmaster. Disabling tags drastically speeds up result generation.

• add_facts=fact1,fact2,fact3 - list of facter facts that will be added as tags for rundeck

Examples:

Add facts fqdn and ipaddress to list of tags, set SSH user to root and disable puppet-generated tags: curl 127.0.0.1:8144/?add_facts=fqdn,ipaddress&user=root&use_tags=0

Add facts fqdn and ipaddress to list of tags, set SSH user to root and disable puppet-generated tags only for nodes with timezone = UTC and having days uptime=0: curl 127.0.0.1:8144/facts/timezone=UTC&uptime_days=0?add_facts=fqdn,ipaddress&user=root&use_tags=0

You can specify some configuration options:

• -c or –config to override the default Puppet configuration file (defaults to /etc/puppet/puppet.conf)

• -u or –username the user for RunDeck to SSH as, defaults to current user (you can override this value via URL, using user parameter)

• -p or –port the port to start puppet-rundeck on, default to 8144
