NAME
----
cdist-manifest - Define types to be used
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Manifests exist to define which configurations should be applied to a specific
host as well as to define which configurations should be applied within a
type. Manifests are executed locally and the resulting objects are stored in
an internal database.
The same object can be redefined in multiple different manifests as long as
the parameters are exactly the same.
In general, manifests are used to define which types are used depending
on given conditions.
EXAMPLE
-------
The initial manifest may for instance contain the following code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Always create this file, so other sysadmins know cdist is used.
__file /etc/cdist-configured --type file
case "$__target_host" in
my.server.name)
__file /root/bin/ --type directory
__file /etc/issue.net --type file --source "$__manifest/issue.net
;;
esac
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The manifest of the type "nologin" may look like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
__file /etc/nologin --type file --source "$__type/files/default.nologin"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEPENDENCIES
------------
If you want to describe that something requires something else, just
setup the variable "require" to contain the requirements. Multiple
requirements can be added white space seperated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# No dependency
__file /etc/cdist-configured
# Require above object
require="__file/etc/cdist-configured" __link /tmp/cdist-testfile \
--source /etc/cdist-configured --type symbolic
# Require two objects
require="__file/etc/cdist-configured __link/tmp/cdist-testfile" \
__file /tmp/cdist-another-testfile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
