More +recent Debian releases are pinned to very low values by default to +prevent accidental upgrades. + +Ubuntu support is lagging behind but not absent either. + +! Upgrade Notice ! + + * The `disable_update` parameter has been removed. The main apt class + defaults to *not* run an `apt-get update` on every run anyway so this + parameter seems useless. + You can include the `apt::update` class if you want it to be run every time. + + * The `apt::upgrade_package` now doesn't automatically call an Exec['apt_updated'] + anymore, so you would need to include `apt::update` now by hand. + + * The apt::codename parameter has been removed. In its place, the + debian_codename fact may be overridden via an environment variable. This + will affect all other debian_* facts, and achieve the same result. + + FACTER_debian_codename=jessie puppet agent -t + + * If you were using custom 50unattended-upgrades.${::lsbdistcodename} in your + site_apt, these are no longer supported. You should migrate to passing + $blacklisted_packages to the apt::unattended_upgrades class. + + * the apt class has been moved to a paramterized class. if you were including + this class before, after passing some variables, you will need to move to + instantiating the class with those variables instead. For example, if you + had the following in your manifests: + + $apt_debian_url = 'http://localhost:9999/debian/' + $apt_use_next_release = true + include apt + + you will need to remove the variables, and the include and instead do + the following: + + class { 'apt': debian_url => 'http://localhost:9999/debian/', use_next_release => true } + + previously, you could manually set $lsbdistcodename which would enable forced + upgrades, but because this is a top-level facter variable, and newer puppet + versions do not let you assign variables to other namespaces, this is no + longer possible. However, there is a way to obtain this functionality, and + that is to pass the 'codename' parameter to the apt class, which will change + the sources.list and preferences files to be the codename you set, allowing + you to trigger upgrades: + + include apt::dist_upgrade + class { 'apt': codename => 'wheezy', notify => Exec['apt_dist-upgrade'] } + + * the apticron class has been moved to a parameterized class. if you were + including this class before, you will need to move to instantiating the + class instead. For example, if you had the following in your manifests: + + $apticron_email = 'foo@example.com' + $apticron_notifynew = '1' + ... any $apticron_* variables + include apticron + + you will need to remove the variables, and the include and instead do the + following: + + class { 'apt::apticron': email => 'foo@example.com', notifynew => '1' } + + * the apt::listchanges class has been moved to a paramterized class. if you + were including this class before, after passing some variables, you will need + to move to instantiating the class with those variables instead. For example, + if you had the following in your manifests: + + $apt_listchanges_email = 'foo@example.com' + ... any $apt_listchanges_* variables + include apt::listchanges + + you will need to remove the variables, and the include and instead do the + following: + + class { 'apt::listchanges': email => 'foo@example.com' } + + * the apt::proxy_client class has been moved to a paramterized class. if you + were including this class before, after passing some variables, you will need + to move to instantiating the class with those variables instead. For example, + if you had the following in your manifests: + + $apt_proxy = 'http://proxy.domain' + $apt_proxy_port = 666 + include apt::proxy_client + + you will need to remove the variables, and the include and instead do the + following: + + class { 'apt::proxy_client': proxy => 'http://proxy.domain', port => '666' } + +Requirements +============ + +This module needs: + +- the lsb-release package should be installed on the server prior to running + puppet. otherwise, all of the $::lsb* facts will be empty during runs. +- the common module: https://gitlab.com/shared-puppet-modules-group/common + +By default, on normal hosts, this module sets the configuration option +DSelect::Clean to 'auto'. On virtual servers, the value is set by default to +'pre-auto', because virtual servers are usually more space-bound and have better +recovery mechanisms via the host: + +From apt.conf(5), 0.7.2: + "Cache Clean mode; this value may be one of always, prompt, auto, + pre-auto and never. always and prompt will remove all packages + from the cache after upgrading, prompt (the default) does so + conditionally. auto removes only those packages which are no + longer downloadable (replaced with a new version for + instance). pre-auto performs this action before downloading new + packages." + +To change the default setting for DSelect::Clean, you can create a file named +"03clean" or "03clean_vserver" in your site_apt module's files directory. You +can also define this for a specific host by creating a file in a subdirectory of +the site_apt modules' files directory that is named the same as the +host. (example: site_apt/files/some.host.com/03clean, or +site_apt/files/some.host.com/03clean_vserver) + +Classes +======= + +apt +--- + +The apt class sets up most of the documented functionality. To use functionality +that is not enabled by default, you must set one of the following parameters. + +Example usage: + + class { 'apt': use_next_release => true, debian_url => 'http://localhost:9999/debian/' } + +Class parameters: + +* use_lts + + If this variable is set to true the CODENAME-lts sources (such as + squeeze-lts) are added. + + By default this is false for backward compatibility with older + versions of this module. + +* use_volatile + + If this variable is set to true the CODENAME-updates sources (such as + squeeze-updates) are added. + + By default this is false for backward compatibility with older + versions of this module. + +* include_src + + If this variable is set to true a deb-src source is added for every + added binary archive source. + + By default this is false for backward compatibility with older + versions of this module. + +* use_next_release + + If this variable is set to true the sources for the next Debian + release are added. The default pinning configuration pins it to very + low values. + + By default this is false for backward compatibility with older + versions of this module. + +* debian_url, security_url, backports_url, volatile_url + + These variables allow to override the default APT mirrors respectively + used for the standard Debian archives, the Debian security archive, + the Debian official backports and the Debian Volatile archive. + +* ubuntu_url + + These variables allows to override the default APT mirror used for all + standard Ubuntu archives (including updates, security, backports). + +* repos + + If this variable is set the default repositories list ("main contrib non-free") + is overriden. + +* disable_update + + Disable "apt-get update" which is normally triggered by apt::upgrade_package + and apt::dist_upgrade. + + Note that nodes can be updated once a day by using + APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; + in i.e. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80_apt_update_daily. + +* custom_preferences + + For historical reasons (Debian Lenny's version of APT did not support the use + of the preferences.d directory for putting fragments of 'preferences'), this + module will manage a default generic apt/preferences file with more + recent releases pinned to very low values so that any package + installation will not accidentally pull in packages from those suites + unless you explicitly specify the version number. This file will be + complemented with all of the preferences_snippet calls (see below). + + If the default preferences template doesn't suit your needs, you can create a + template located in your site_apt module, and set custom_preferences with the + content (eg. custom_preferences => template('site_apt/preferences') ) + + Setting this variable to false before including this class will force the + apt/preferences file to be absent: + + class { 'apt': custom_preferences => false } + +* custom_sources_list + + By default this module will use a basic apt/sources.list template with + a generic Debian mirror. If you need to set more specific sources, + e.g. changing the sections included in the source, etc. you can set + this variable to the content that you desire to use instead. + + For example, setting this variable will pull in the + templates/site_apt/sources.list file: + + class { 'apt': custom_sources_list => template('site_apt/sources.list') } + +* custom_key_dir + + If you have different apt-key files that you want to get added to your + apt keyring, you can set this variable to a path in your fileserver + where individual key files can be placed. If this is set and keys + exist there, this module will 'apt-key add' each key. + + The debian-archive-keyring package is installed and kept current up to the + latest revision (this includes the backports archive keyring). + +apt::apticron +------------- + +When you instantiate this class, apticron will be installed, with the following +defaults, which you are free to change: + + $ensure_version = 'installed', + $config = "apt/${::operatingsystem}/apticron_${::lsbdistcodename}.erb", + $email = 'root', + $diff_only = '1', + $listchanges_profile = 'apticron', + $system = false, + $ipaddressnum = false, + $ipaddresses = false, + $notifyholds = '0', + $notifynew = '0', + $customsubject = '' + +Example usage: + + class { 'apt::apticron': email => 'foo@example.com', notifynew => '1' } + +apt::cron::download +------------------- + +This class sets up cron-apt so that it downloads upgradable packages, does not +actually do any upgrade and emails when the output changes. + +cron-apt defaults to run at 4 AM. You may want to set the +$apt_cron_hours variable before you include the class: its value will +be passed as the "hours" parameter of a cronjob. Example: + + # Run cron-apt every three hours + $apt_cron_hours = '*/3' + +Note that the default 4 AM cronjob won't be disabled. + +apt::cron::dist_upgrade +----------------------- + +This class sets up cron-apt so that it dist-upgrades the system and +emails when upgrades are performed. + +See apt::cron::download above if you need to run cron-apt more often +than once a day. + +apt::dist_upgrade +----------------- + +This class provides the Exec['apt_dist-upgrade'] resource that +dist-upgrade's the system. + +This exec is set as refreshonly so including this class does not +trigger any action per-se: other resources may notify it, other +classes may inherit from this one and add to its subscription list +using the plusignment ('+>') operator. A real-world example can be +seen in the apt::dist_upgrade::initiator source. + +apt::dist_upgrade::initiator +---------------------------- + +This class automatically dist-upgrade's the system when an initiator +file's content changes. The initiator file is copied from the first +available source amongst the following ones, in decreasing priority +order: + +- puppet:///modules/site_apt/${::fqdn}/upgrade_initiator +- puppet:///modules/site_apt/upgrade_initiator +- puppet:///modules/apt/upgrade_initiator + +This is useful when one does not want to setup a fully automated +upgrade process but still needs a way to manually trigger full +upgrades of any number of systems at scheduled times. + +Beware: a dist-upgrade is triggered the first time Puppet runs after +this class has been included. This is actually the single reason why +this class is not enabled by default. + +When this class is included the APT indexes are updated on every +Puppet run due to the author's lack of Puppet wizardry. + +apt::dselect +------------ + +This class, when included, installs dselect and switches it to expert mode to +suppress superfluous help screens. + +apt::listchanges +---------------- + +This class, when instantiated, installs apt-listchanges and configures it using +the following parameterized variables, which can be changed: + + version = 'present' + config = "apt/${::operatingsystem}/listchanges_${::lsbrelease}.erb" + frontend = 'pager' + email = 'root' + confirm = 0 + saveseen = '/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db' + which = 'both' + + Example usage: + class { 'apt::listchanges': email => 'foo@example.com' } + +apt::proxy_client +----------------- + +This class adds the right configuration to apt to make it fetch packages via a +proxy. The class parameters apt_proxy and apt_proxy_port need to be set: + +You can set the 'proxy' class parameter variable to the URL of the proxy that +will be used. By default, the proxy will be queried on port 3142, but you can +change the port number by setting the 'port' class parameter. + +Example: + + class { 'apt::proxy_client': proxy => 'http://proxy.domain', port => '666' } + +apt::reboot_required_notify +--------------------------- + +This class installs a daily cronjob that checks if a package upgrade +requires the system to be rebooted; if so, cron sends a notification +email to root. + +apt::unattended_upgrades +------------------------ + +If this class is included, it will install the package 'unattended-upgrades' +and configure it to daily upgrade the system. + +The class has the following parameters that you can use to change the contents +of the configuration file. The values shown here are the default values: + + * $config_content = undef + * $config_template = 'apt/50unattended-upgrades.erb' + * $mailonlyonerror = true + * $mail_recipient = 'root' + * $blacklisted_packages = [] + +Note that using $config_content actually specifies all of the configuration +contents and thus makes the other parameters useless. + +example: + + class { 'apt::unattended_upgrades': + config_template => 'site_apt/50unattended-upgrades.jessie', + blacklisted_packages => [ + 'libc6', 'libc6-dev', 'libc6-i686', 'mysql-server', 'redmine', 'nodejs', + 'bird' + ], + } + +Defines +======= + +apt::apt_conf +------------- + +Creates a file in the apt/apt.conf.d directory to easily add configuration +components. One can use either the 'source' meta-parameter to specify a list of +static files to include from the puppet fileserver or the 'content' +meta-parameter to define content inline or with the help of a template. + +Example: + + apt::apt_conf { '80download-only': + source => 'puppet:///modules/site_apt/80download-only', + } + +apt::preferences_snippet +------------------------ + +A way to add pinning information to files in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ + +Example: + + apt::preferences_snippet { + 'irssi-plugin-otr': + release => 'squeeze-backports', + priority => 999; + } + + apt::preferences_snippet { + 'unstable_fallback': + package => '*', + release => 'unstable', + priority => 1; + } + + apt::preferences_snippet { + 'ttdnsd': + pin => 'origin deb.torproject.org', + priority => 999; + } + +The names of the resources will be used as the names of the files in the +preferences.d directory, so you should ensure that resource names follow the +prescribed naming scheme. + +From apt_preferences(5): + Note that the files in the /etc/apt/preferences.d directory are parsed in + alphanumeric ascending order and need to obey the following naming + convention: The files have no or "pref" as filename extension and which + only contain alphanumeric, hyphen (-), underscore (_) and period (.) + characters - otherwise they will be silently ignored. + +apt::preseeded_package +---------------------- + +This simplifies installation of packages for which you wish to preseed the +answers to debconf. For example, if you wish to provide a preseed file for the +locales package, you would place the locales.seed file in +'site_apt/templates/${::lsbdistcodename}/locales.seeds' and then include the +following in your manifest: + + apt::preseeded_package { locales: } + +You can also specify the content of the seed via the content parameter, +for example: + + apt::preseeded_package { 'apticron': + content => 'apticron apticron/notification string root@example.com', + } + +apt::sources_list +----------------- + +Creates a file in the apt/sources.list.d directory to easily add additional apt +sources. One can use either the 'source' meta-parameter to specify a list of +static files to include from the puppet fileserver or the 'content' +meta-parameter to define content inline or with the help of a template. Ending +the resource name in '.list' is optional: it will be automatically added to the +file name if not present in the resource name. + +Example: + + apt::sources_list { 'company_internals': + source => [ "puppet:///modules/site_apt/${::fqdn}/company_internals.list", + 'puppet:///modules/site_apt/company_internals.list' ], + } + +apt::key +-------- + +Deploys a secure apt OpenPGP key. This usually accompanies the +sources.list snippets above for third party repositories. For example, +you would do: + + apt::key { 'neurodebian.gpg': + ensure => present, + source => 'puppet:///modules/site_apt/neurodebian.gpg', + } + +This deploys the key in the `/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d` directory, which +is assumed by secure apt to be binary OpenPGP keys and *not* +"ascii-armored" or "plain text" OpenPGP key material. For the latter, +use `apt::key::plain`. + +The `.gpg` extension is compulsory for `apt` to pickup the key properly. + +apt::key::plain +--------------- + +Deploys a secure apt OpenPGP key. This usually accompanies the +sources.list snippets above for third party repositories. For example, +you would do: + + apt::key::plain { 'neurodebian.asc': + source => 'puppet:///modules/site_apt/neurodebian.asc', + } + +This deploys the key in the `${apt_base_dir}/keys` directory (as +opposed to `$custom_key_dir` which deploys it in `keys.d`). The reason +this exists on top of `$custom_key_dir` is to allow a more +decentralised distribution of those keys, without having all modules +throw their keys in the same directory in the manifests. + +Note that this model does *not* currently allow keys to be removed! +Use `apt::key` instead for a more practical, revokable approach, but +that needs binary keys. + +apt::upgrade_package +-------------------- + +This simplifies upgrades for DSA security announcements or point-releases. This +will ensure that the named package is upgraded to the version specified, only if +the package is installed, otherwise nothing happens. If the specified version +is 'latest' (the default), then the package is ensured to be upgraded to the +latest package revision when it becomes available. + +For example, the following upgrades the perl package to version 5.8.8-7etch1 +(if it is installed), it also upgrades the syslog-ng and perl-modules packages +to their latest (also, only if they are installed): + +upgrade_package { 'perl': + version => '5.8.8-7etch1'; + 'syslog-ng': + version => latest; + 'perl-modules': +} + +Resources +========= + +File['apt_config'] +------------------ + +Use this resource to depend on or add to a completed apt configuration + +Exec['apt_updated'] +------------------- + +After this point the APT indexes are up-to-date. +This resource is set to `refreshonly => true` so it is not run on +every puppetrun. To run this every time, you can include the `apt::update` +class. + +This resource is usually used like this to ensure current packages are +installed by Package resources: + + include apt::update + Package { require => Exec['apt_updated'] } + +Note that nodes can be updated once a day by using + + APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; + +in i.e. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80_apt_update_daily. + + +Tests +===== + +To run pupept rspec tests: + + bundle install --path vendor/bundle + bundle exec rake spec + +Using different facter/puppet versions: + + FACTER_GEM_VERSION=1.6.10 PUPPET_GEM_VERSION=2.7.23 bundle install --path vendor/bundle + bundle exec rake spec + +Licensing +========= + +This puppet module is licensed under the GPL version 3 or later.
