PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8) NAME puppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in a filebucket SYNOPSIS A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client. USAGE puppet filebucket mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server] [-f|--fromdate date] [-t|--todate date] [-b|--bucket directory] file file ... Puppet filebucket 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 associ- ated with the sum into the specified file path. You can specify an en- tirely 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 filebuckets 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 available 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 specify- ing '--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 available for the file backups. Generally, you can provide the disk space by using 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://pup- pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html for the full list of ac- ceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with '--genconfig'. --bucket Specify a local filebucket path. This overrides the default path set in '$clientbucketdir'. --debug Enable full debugging. --fromdate (list only) Select bucket files from 'fromdate'. --help Print this help message. --local Use the local filebucket. This uses the default configuration information and the bucket located at the '$clientbucketdir' setting by default. If '--bucket' is set, puppet uses that path instead. --remote Use a remote filebucket. This uses the default configuration in- formation and the bucket located at the '$bucketdir' setting by default. --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.
