[vagrant@puppetmaster /]$ r10k --help --verbose
NAME
r10k - Killer robot powered Puppet environment deployment
USAGE
r10k [options]
DESCRIPTION
r10k is a suite of commands to help deploy and manage puppet code for
complex environments.
COMMANDS
deploy Puppet dynamic environment deployment
environment DEPRECATED: Operate on a specific environment
help show help
module DEPRECATED: Operate on a specific puppet module
puppetfile Perform operations on a Puppetfile
synchronize DEPRECATED: Fully synchronize all environments
version Print the version of r10k
OPTIONS
-c --config Specify a global configuration file (deprecated, use `r10k deploy -c`)
-h --help Show help for this command
-t --trace Display stack traces on application crash
-v --verbose Set log verbosity. Valid values: fatal, error, warn, notice, info, debug, debug1, debug2
[vagrant@puppetmaster /]$
There is more help info for each of the above commands.
For example, for the “puppetfile” subcommand, we have:
[vagrant@puppetmaster /]$ r10k puppetfile --help
NAME
puppetfile - Perform operations on a Puppetfile
USAGE
r10k puppetfile
DESCRIPTION
`r10k puppetfile` provides an implementation of the librarian-puppet
style Puppetfile (http://bombasticmonkey.com/librarian-puppet/).
SUBCOMMANDS
check Try and load the Puppetfile to verify the syntax is correct.
install Install all modules from a Puppetfile
purge Purge unmanaged modules from a Puppetfile managed directory
OPTIONS FOR R10K
-c --config Specify a global configuration file (deprecated, use `r10k deploy -c`)
-h --help Show help for this command
-t --trace Display stack traces on application crash
-v --verbose Set log verbosity. Valid values: fatal, error, warn, notice, info, debug, debug1, debug2
[vagrant@puppetmaster /]$
We can also go even deeper:
[vagrant@puppetmaster /]$ r10k puppetfile check --help --verbose
NAME
check - Try and load the Puppetfile to verify the syntax is correct.
USAGE
r10k puppetfile check
OPTIONS FOR PUPPETFILE
-c --config Specify a global configuration file (deprecated, use `r10k deploy -c`)
-h --help Show help for this command
-t --trace Display stack traces on application crash
-v --verbose Set log verbosity. Valid values: fatal, error, warn, notice, info, debug, debug1, debug2
[vagrant@puppetmaster /]$
Now lets try this command:
$ r10k puppetfile check Syntax OK
This will whether the syntax is ok, but won’t check if there are any missing dependencies, for this you need to do:
$ puppet module --tree --modulepath /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/{env_name}/modules
If there are missing dependencies, then a quick way to fix these is by using:
https://github.com/rnelson0/puppet-generate-puppetfile
Going back to the help info, let’s look up the help info for the “deploy” subcommand:
$ r10k deploy
NAME
deploy - Puppet dynamic environment deployment
USAGE
r10k deploy
DESCRIPTION
`r10k deploy` implements the Git branch to Puppet environment workflow
(https://puppetlabs.com/blog/git-workflow-and-puppet-environments/).
SUBCOMMANDS
display Display environments and modules in the deployment
environment Deploy environments and their dependent modules
module Deploy modules in all environments
OPTIONS
-c --config Specify a configuration file
OPTIONS FOR R10K
-c --config Specify a global configuration file (deprecated, use `r10k deploy -c`)
-h --help Show help for this command
-t --trace Display stack traces on application crash
-v --verbose Set log verbosity. Valid values: fatal, error, warn, notice, info, debug, debug1, debug2
[vagrant@puppetmaster /]$
Another useful help info is:
$ r10k deploy environment --help
NAME
environment - Deploy environments and their dependent modules
USAGE
r10k deploy environment
<...>
DESCRIPTION
`r10k deploy environment` creates and updates Puppet environments based
on Git branches.
Environments can provide a Puppetfile at the root of the directory to
deploy independent Puppet modules. To recursively deploy an environment,
pass the `--puppetfile` flag to the command.
**NOTE**: If an environment has a Puppetfile when it is instantiated a
recursive update will be forced. It is assumed that environments are
dependent on modules specified in the Puppetfile and an update will be
automatically scheduled. On subsequent deployments, Puppetfile deployment
will default to off.
OPTIONS
-p --puppetfile Deploy modules from a puppetfile
OPTIONS FOR DEPLOY
-c --config Specify a configuration file
-c --config Specify a global configuration file (deprecated, use `r10k deploy -c`)
-h --help Show help for this command
-t --trace Display stack traces on application crash
-v --verbose Set log verbosity. Valid values: fatal, error, warn, notice, info, debug, debug1, debug2
[vagrant@puppetmaster dev_virtualbox_v2]$
If your current working directory contains the Puppetfile, manifests folder, modules folder, and environment.conf:
$ pwd /etc/puppet/environments/production $ ls -l total 16 -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 374 Oct 14 16:46 environment.conf drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 20 Oct 14 16:46 manifests drwxrwxrwx. 69 root root 4096 Oct 15 12:34 modules -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 4906 Oct 15 12:30 Puppetfile $ ls -l modules/ # notice it is currently empty.
Then you can populate your modules folder by either running the following (if currently in the same directory as the Puppetfile):
$ r10k puppetfile install
Or by running:
$ r10k deploy environment -v -p {prefix_branchname}
Note, The prefix is whatever you specified in your hiera.yaml file.
e.g. let’s say we have
$ cat /etc/r10k.yaml
:cachedir: '/var/cache/r10k'
:sources:
puppet_System_X:
remote: https://github.com/control-repo-System_X.git
basedir: '/etc/puppet/environments'
prefix: 'System_X'
hiera_System_X:
remote: https://github.com/hiera-repo-System_X.git
basedir: '/etc/puppet/hiera'
prefix: 'System_X'
puppet_System_Y:
remote: https://github.com/control-repo-System_Y.git
basedir: '/etc/puppet/environments'
prefix: 'System_Y'
hiera_System_Y:
remote: https://github.com/hiera-repo-System_Y.git
basedir: '/etc/puppet/hiera'
prefix: 'System_Y'
puppet_System_Z:
remote: https://github.com/control-repo-System_Z.git
basedir: '/etc/puppet/environments'
prefix: 'System_Z'
hiera_CSP:
remote: https://github.com/hiera-repo-System_Z.git
basedir: '/etc/puppet/hiera'
prefix: 'System_Z'
:purgedirs:
- /etc/puppet/environments
- /etc/puppet/hiera
Now let’s say we are interested in “System_X” of which we are only insterested in this repo’s branch called “Production”, then we do:
$ r10k deploy environment -v -p System_X_Production
Note: if the branch name contains periods, forward slashes, or hyphens, then they get replaced with underscores.
Now let’s check this has worked:
$ ls -l modules/ drwxrwxrwx. 4 root root 4096 Oct 14 16:47 alternatives drwxrwxrwx. 8 root root 4096 Oct 14 16:47 apache drwxrwxrwx. 5 root root 4096 Oct 14 16:46 augeas drwxrwxrwx. 5 root root 4096 Oct 14 16:46 augeasproviders_base drwxrwxrwx. 6 root root 4096 Oct 14 16:46 augeasproviders_core drwxrwxrwx. 5 root root 4096 Oct 14 16:46 augeasproviders_pam drwxrwxrwx. 7 root root 4096 Oct 14 16:47 autofs . . ...etc
