cdist-type__staged_file(7) ========================== NAME ---- cdist-type__staged_file - Manage staged files DESCRIPTION ----------- Manages a staged file that is downloaded on the server (the machine running cdist) and then deployed to the target host using the __file type. REQUIRED PARAMETERS ------------------- source the URL from which to retrieve the source file. e.g. * https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/consul/0.4.1_linux_amd64.zip * file:///path/to/local/file cksum the output of running the command: `cksum $source-file` e.g.:: $ echo foobar > /tmp/foobar $ cksum /tmp/foobar 857691210 7 /tmp/foobar If either checksum or file size has changed the file will be (re)fetched from the --source. The file name can be omitted and is ignored if given. OPTIONAL PARAMETERS ------------------- fetch-command the command used to fetch the staged file using printf formatting. Where a single %s will be replaced with the value of the given --source parameter. The --fetch-command is expected to output the fetched file to stdout. Defaults to 'curl -s -L "%s"'. group see cdist-type__file owner see cdist-type__file mode see cdist-type__file prepare-command the optional command used to prepare or preprocess the staged file for later use by the file type. If given, it must be a string in printf formatting where a single %s will be replaced with the last segment (filename) of the value of the given --source parameter. It is executed in the same directory into which the fetched file has been saved. The --prepare-command is expected to output the final file to stdout. So for example given a --source of https://example.com/my-zip.zip, and a --prepare-command of 'unzip -p "%s"', the code `unzip -p "my-zip.zip"` will be executed in the folder containing the downloaded file my-zip.zip. A more complex example might be --prepare-command 'tar -xz "%s"; cat path/from/archive' stage-dir the directory in which to store downloaded and prepared files. Defaults to '/var/tmp/cdist/__staged_file' state see cdist-type__file EXAMPLES -------- .. code-block:: sh __staged_file /usr/local/bin/consul \ --source file:///path/to/local/copy/consul \ --cksum '428915666 15738724' \ --state present \ --group root \ --owner root \ --mode 755 __staged_file /usr/local/bin/consul \ --source https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/consul/0.4.1_linux_amd64.zip \ --cksum '428915666 15738724' \ --fetch-command 'curl -s -L "%s"' \ --prepare-command 'unzip -p "%s"' \ --state present \ --group root \ --owner root \ --mode 755 SEE ALSO -------- :strong:`cdist-type__file`\ (7) AUTHORS ------- Steven Armstrong COPYING ------- Copyright \(C) 2015 Steven Armstrong.
