Archive Puppet Module

THIS MODULE IS DEPRECATED

Use puppet-archive instead.

Overview

Puppet Module to download and extract tar and zip archives based on camptocamp/puppet-archive.

Supported archive types are:

tar.gz, tgz
tar.bz2, tbz2
tar.xz, txz
zip

Features:

Ability to follow redirects
Supports checksum matching

Usage

Example:

archive { 'apache-tomcat-6.0.26':
  ensure => present,
  url    => 'http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.26/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.26.tar.gz',
  target => '/opt',
}

You can have archive follow redirects by setting:

follow_redirects => true

The default archive format is tar.gz. To use another supported format you must specify the extenstion:

extension => "zip"

By default archive will try and find a matching checksum file to verify the download. To disable this behavior set the checksum option to false:

checksum => false

You can specify a digest_url, digest_string and digest_type to verify archive integrity.

For .tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives, the extract step's --strip-components=n flag can be accessed. This can be used to change the name of the extracted directory.

strip_components => 1

purge_target => false

By default the target directory is left intact, this option can be used to rm -rf the target directory prior to extraction.

This full example will download the packer tool to /usr/local/bin:

archive { '0.5.1_linux_amd64':
   ensure => present,
   url => 'https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/packer/0.5.1_linux_amd64.zip',
   target => '/usr/local/bin',
   follow_redirects => true,
   extension => 'zip',
   checksum => false,
   src_target => '/tmp'
}

You can also specifiy a global user to be used for the whole download and extract operation. Note that the module doesn't handle the right of the specified user on the src_target directory.


archive { '0.5.1_linux_amd64':
   ensure => present,
   url => 'https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/packer/0.5.1_linux_amd64.zip',
   target => '/usr/local/bin',
   follow_redirects => true,
   extension => 'zip',
   checksum => false,
   user       => 'camptocamp',
   src_target => '/home/camptocamp'
}
