puppet-module
- Creates, installs and searches for modules on the Puppet Forge.
puppet module action [--environment production ] [--modulepath ]
This subcommand can find, install, and manage modules from the Puppet Forge, a repository of user-contributed Puppet code. It can also generate empty modules, and prepare locally developed modules for release on the Forge.
Note that any setting that's valid in the configuration
file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be
relevant to the present action. For example, server
and run_mode
are valid
settings, so you can specify --server <servername>
, or
--run_mode <runmode>
as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at
https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/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
.
json
,
s
(string), yaml
, and console
, but other options such as dot
are
sometimes available.The environment in which Puppet is running. For clients,
such as puppet agent
, this determines the environment itself, which
Puppet uses to find modules and much more. For servers, such as puppet master
,
this provides the default environment for nodes that Puppet knows nothing about.
When defining an environment in the [agent]
section, this refers to the
environment that the agent requests from the master. The environment doesn't
have to exist on the local filesystem because the agent fetches it from the
master. This definition is used when running puppet agent
.
When defined in the [user]
section, the environment refers to the path that
Puppet uses to search for code and modules related to its execution. This
requires the environment to exist locally on the filesystem where puppet is
being executed. Puppet subcommands, including puppet module
and
puppet apply
, use this definition.
Given that the context and effects vary depending on the
config section
in which the environment
setting is defined, do not set it globally.
The search path for modules, as a list of directories separated by the system path separator character. (The POSIX path separator is ':', and the Windows path separator is ';'.)
Setting a global value for modulepath
in puppet.conf is not allowed
(but it can be overridden from the commandline). Please use
directory environments instead. If you need to use something other than the
default modulepath of <ACTIVE ENVIRONMENT'S MODULES DIR>:$basemodulepath
,
you can set modulepath
in environment.conf. For more info, see
https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/environments_about.html
build
- Build a module release package.SYNOPSIS
puppet module build
DESCRIPTION
This action has been replaced by Puppet Development Kit. For more information visit https://puppet.com/docs/pdk/latest/pdk.html.
changes
- Show modified files of an installed module.SYNOPSIS
puppet module changes path
DESCRIPTION
Shows any files in a module that have been modified since it was installed. This action compares the files on disk to the md5 checksums included in the module's checksums.json or, if that is missing, in metadata.json.
RETURNS
Array of strings representing paths of modified files.
generate
- Generate boilerplate for a new module.SYNOPSIS
puppet module generate
DESCRIPTION
This action has been replaced by Puppet Development Kit. For more information visit https://puppet.com/docs/pdk/latest/pdk.html.
install
- Install a module from the Puppet Forge or a release archive.SYNOPSIS
puppet module install [--force | -f] [--target-dir DIR | -i DIR] [--ignore-dependencies] [--version VER | -v VER] name
DESCRIPTION
Installs a module from the Puppet Forge or from a release archive file. Note: Module install uses MD5 checksums, which are prohibited on FIPS enabled systems.
The specified module will be installed into the directory
specified with the --target-dir
option, which defaults to the first
directory in the modulepath.
OPTIONS
--force | -f -
Force overwrite of existing module, if any.
Implies --ignore-dependencies.
--ignore-dependencies - Do not attempt to install dependencies. Implied by --force.
--target-dir DIR | -i DIR - The directory into which modules are installed; defaults to the first directory in the modulepath.
Specifying this option will change the installation directory, and
will use the existing modulepath when checking for dependencies. If
you wish to check a different set of directories for dependencies, you
must also use the --environment
or --modulepath
options.
--version VER | -v VER - Module version to install; can be an exact version or a requirement string, eg '>= 1.0.3'. Defaults to latest version.
RETURNS
Pathname object representing the path to the installed module.
list
- List installed modulesSYNOPSIS
puppet module list [--tree]
DESCRIPTION
Lists the installed puppet modules. By default, this action scans the
modulepath from puppet.conf's [main]
block; use the --modulepath
option to change which directories are scanned.
The output of this action includes information from the module's metadata, including version numbers and unmet module dependencies.
OPTIONS
--tree -
Whether to show dependencies as a tree view
RETURNS
hash of paths to module objects
search
- Search the Puppet Forge for a module.SYNOPSIS
puppet module search search_term
DESCRIPTION
This action has been deprecated. Please use the Puppet Forge to search for modules.
Searches a repository for modules whose names, descriptions, or keywords match the provided search term.
RETURNS
Array of module metadata hashes
uninstall
- Uninstall a puppet module.SYNOPSIS
puppet module uninstall [--force | -f] [--ignore-changes | -c] [--version=] name
DESCRIPTION
Uninstalls a puppet module from the modulepath (or a specific target directory). Note: Module uninstall uses MD5 checksums, which are prohibited on FIPS enabled systems.
OPTIONS
--force | -f -
Force the uninstall of an installed module even if there are local
changes or the possibility of causing broken dependencies.
--ignore-changes | -c - Uninstall an installed module even if there are local changes to it. (Implied by --force.)
--version= - The version of the module to uninstall. When using this option, a module matching the specified version must be installed or else an error is raised.
RETURNS
Hash of module objects representing uninstalled modules and related errors.
upgrade
- Upgrade a puppet module.SYNOPSIS
puppet module upgrade [--force | -f] [--ignore-dependencies] [--ignore-changes | -c] [--version=] name
DESCRIPTION
Upgrades a puppet module. Note: Module upgrade uses MD5 checksums, which are prohibited on FIPS enabled systems.
OPTIONS
--force | -f -
Force the upgrade of an installed module even if there are local
changes or the possibility of causing broken dependencies.
Implies --ignore-dependencies.
--ignore-changes | -c - Upgrade an installed module even if there are local changes to it. (Implied by --force.)
--ignore-dependencies - Do not attempt to install dependencies. Implied by --force.
--version= - The version of the module to upgrade to.
RETURNS
Hash
