Puppet
======

Where do i find the time a server was last deployed ?
-----------------------------------------------------

The puppet state file on the node indicates the last puppetrun:

    ls -la /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml

What resources are touched by puppet/leap_platform (services/packages/files etc.) ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Log into your server and issue:

    grep -v '!ruby/sym' /var/lib/puppet/state/state.yaml | sed 's/\"//' | sort


How can i customize the leap_platform puppet manifests ?
--------------------------------------------------------

You can create a custom module `site_custom`.  The class `site_custom::setup` will get
included in the first part of the deploy process, and `site_custom` during the second part. 
Of cause you can also create a different git branch and change whatever you want, if you are
familiar wit git.

Facter
======

How can i see custom facts distributed by leap_platform on a node ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

On the server, export the FACTERLIB env. variable to include the path of the custom fact in question:

    export FACTERLIB=/var/lib/puppet/lib/facter:/srv/leap/puppet/modules/stdlib/lib/facter/
    facter    


Etc

How do i change the domain of my provider ?
-------------------------------------------

* First of all, you need to have access to the nameserver config of your new domain.
* Update domain in provider.json
* remove all ca and cert files: `rm files/cert/* files/ca/*`
* create ca, csr and certs : `leap cert ca; leap cert csr; leap cert dh; leap cert update`
* deploy
