PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8)		 OpenVox manual 	    PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8)

NAME
     puppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in an OpenVox filebucket

SYNOPSIS
     A stand-alone OpenVox filebucket client.

USAGE
     puppet  filebucket  mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--ver-
     bose] [-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server] [-f|--fromdate  date]
     [-t|--todate date] [-b|--bucket directory] file file ...

     This  filebucket  client can operate in three modes, with only one mode per
     call:

     backup: Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent file
     is printed with its resulting sha256 sum.

     get: Return the text associated with an sha256 sum. The text is printed  to
     stdout, and only one file can be retrieved at a time.

     restore:  Given a file path and an sha256 sum, store the content associated
     with the sum into the specified file path. You can specify an entirely  new
     path  to  this argument; you are not restricted to restoring the content to
     its original location.

     diff: Print a diff in unified format between two  checksums  in  the  file-
     bucket or between a checksum and its matching file.

     list:  List all files in the current local filebucket. Listing remote file-
     buckets is not allowed.

DESCRIPTION
     This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files	to  a  local  or
     central filebucket.

     Note  that 'filebucket' defaults to using a network-based filebucket avail-
     able on the server named 'puppet'. To use this, you'll have to  be  running
     as  a  user with valid Puppet certificates. Alternatively, you can use your
     local file bucket by specifying '--local', or by specifying '--bucket' with
     a local path.

     Important: When you enable and use the backup option, and by extension  the
     filebucket  resource,  you must ensure that sufficient disk space is avail-
     able for the file backups. Generally, you can provide the disk space by us-
     ing one of the following two options:

     *	 Use a find command and crontab entry to retain only the last X days  of
	 file backups. For example:

	   find /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/bucket -type f -mtime +45 -atime +45 -print0 | xargs -0 rm

     *	 Restrict  the	directory to a maximum size after which the oldest items
	 are removed.

OPTIONS
     Note that any setting that's valid in the	configuration  file  is  also  a
     valid  long  argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a valid setting, so you can
     specify '--ssldir directory' as an argument.

     See the configuration file  documentation	at  https://puppet.com/docs/pup-
     pet/latest/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable parameters. A
     commented	list  of all configuration options can also be generated by run-
     ning puppet with '--genconfig'.

     --bucket
	    Specify a local filebucket path. This overrides the default path set
	    in '$clientbucketdir'.

     --debug
	    Enable full debugging.

     --fromdate
	    (list only) Select bucket files from 'fromdate'.

     --help
	    Print this help message.

     --local
	    Use the local filebucket. This uses the default configuration infor-
	    mation and the bucket located at the '$clientbucketdir'  setting  by
	    default. If '--bucket' is set, that path is used instead.

     --remote
	    Use  a remote filebucket. This uses the default configuration infor-
	    mation and the bucket located at the  '$bucketdir'	setting  by  de-
	    fault.

     --server_list
	    A  list of comma separated servers; only the first entry is used for
	    file storage. This setting takes precidence over server.

     --server
	    The server to use for file storage. This setting  is  only	used  if
	    server_list is not set.

     --todate
	    (list only) Select bucket files until 'todate'.

     --verbose
	    Print extra information.

     --version
	    Print version information.

EXAMPLES
     ## Backup a file to the filebucket, then restore it to a temporary directory
     $ puppet filebucket backup /etc/passwd
     /etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
     $ puppet filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949

     ## Diff between two files in the filebucket
     $ puppet filebucket -l diff d43a6ecaa892a1962398ac9170ea9bf2 7ae322f5791217e031dc60188f4521ef
     1a2
     > again

     ## Diff between the file in the filebucket and a local file
     $ puppet filebucket -l diff d43a6ecaa892a1962398ac9170ea9bf2 /tmp/testFile
     1a2
     > again

     ## Backup a file to the filebucket and observe that it keeps each backup separate
     $ puppet filebucket -l list
     d43a6ecaa892a1962398ac9170ea9bf2 2015-05-11 09:27:56 /tmp/TestFile

     $ echo again >> /tmp/TestFile

     $ puppet filebucket -l backup /tmp/TestFile
     /tmp/TestFile: 7ae322f5791217e031dc60188f4521ef

     d43a6ecaa892a1962398ac9170ea9bf2 2015-05-11 09:27:56 /tmp/TestFile
     7ae322f5791217e031dc60188f4521ef 2015-05-11 09:52:15 /tmp/TestFile

     ## List files in a filebucket within date ranges
     $ puppet filebucket -l -f 2015-01-01 -t 2015-01-11 list
     <Empty Output>

     $ puppet filebucket -l -f 2015-05-10 list
     d43a6ecaa892a1962398ac9170ea9bf2 2015-05-11 09:27:56 /tmp/TestFile
     7ae322f5791217e031dc60188f4521ef 2015-05-11 09:52:15 /tmp/TestFile

     7ae322f5791217e031dc60188f4521ef 2015-05-11 09:52:15 /tmp/TestFile

     d43a6ecaa892a1962398ac9170ea9bf2 2015-05-11 09:27:56 /tmp/TestFile

     ## Manage files in a specific local filebucket
     $ puppet filebucket -b /tmp/TestBucket backup /tmp/TestFile2
     /tmp/TestFile2: d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
