r10k Configuration Module

This is the r10k setup module. It has a base class to configure r10k to synchronize dynamic environments. You can be simply used by declaring it:

class { 'r10k':
  remote => 'git@github.com:someuser/puppet.git',
}

This will configure /etc/r10k.yaml and install the r10k gem after installing ruby using the puppetlabs/ruby module. It also has a few helper classes that do some useful things. The following entry in Hiera will add a prerun_command to puppet.conf.

r10k::include_prerun_command: true

The concept here is that this is declared on the puppet master(s) that have been configured with r10k. This will cause r10k to synchronize before each puppet run. Any errors synchronizing will be logged to the standard puppet run.

symlink to r10k.yaml

These entries in Hiera will create a symlink at /etc/r10k.yaml that points to the config file at /etc/puppet/r10k.yaml

r10k::configfile: /etc/puppet/r10k.yaml
r10k::manage_configfile_symlink: true
r10k::configfile_symlink: /etc/r10k.yaml

Mcollective Support

An mcollective agent is included in this module which can be used to do on demand synchronization. This mcollective application and agent can be installed on all masters using the following class

include r10k::mcollective

Using mco you can then trigger mcollective to call r10k using

mco r10k synchronize

You can sync an individual environment using:

mco r10k deploy <environment>

An example post-recieve hook is included in the files directory. This hook can automatically cause code to synchronize on your servers at time of push in git.

###Install mcollective support for post recieve hooks Install the mco command from the puppet enterprise installation directory i.e.

cd ~/puppet-enterprise-3.0.1-el-6-x86_64/packages/el-6-x86_64
sudo rpm -i pe-mcollective-client-2.2.4-2.pe.el6.noarch.rpm

Copy the peadmin mcollective configuration and private keys from the certificate authority (puppet master)

/var/lib/peadmin/.mcollective
/var/lib/peadmin/.mcollective.d/mcollective-public.pem
/var/lib/peadmin/.mcollective.d/peadmin-cacert.pem
/var/lib/peadmin/.mcollective.d/peadmin-cert.pem
/var/lib/peadmin/.mcollective.d/peadmin-private.pem
/var/lib/peadmin/.mcollective.d/peadmin-public.pem

Ensure you update the paths in ~/.mcollective when copying to new users whose name is not peadmin. Ideally mcollective will be used with more then just the peadmin user's certificate in the future. That said, if your git user does not have a home diretory, you can rename .mcollective as /etc/client.cfg and copy the certs to somewhere that is readable by the respective user.

/home/gitolite/.mcollective
/home/gitolite/.mcollective.d/mcollective-public.pem
/home/gitolite/.mcollective.d/peadmin-cacert.pem
/home/gitolite/.mcollective.d/peadmin-cert.pem
/home/gitolite/.mcollective.d/peadmin-private.pem
/home/gitolite/.mcollective.d/peadmin-public.pem

Note: PE2 only requires the .mcollective file as the default auth was psk ##Support

Webhook Support

For version control systems that use web driven post-receive processes you can use the example webhook included in this module. This webhook currently only runs on Puppet Enterprise and uses mcollective to automatically synchronize your environment across multiple masters. The webhook must be configured on the respective "control" repository a master that has mco installed and can contact the other masters in your fleet.
