#puppet-deploy ##Overview

This module downloads and extracts compressed files to a specific directory.

The following archives are supported:

• .tar.gz
• .tgz
• .tar.bz2
• .tar.xz

###Setup Requirements

##Usage

    # Set the default temp directory to use
    class { 'deploy':
      tempdir => '/opt/deploy'
    }

    # Deploy Java tar file
    deploy::file { 'jdk-7u21-linux-x64.tar.gz':
      target  => '/opt/development-tools/java/jdk1.7.0_21',
      url     => 'http://mywebsite.co.za/development-tools/java',
      strip   => true,
    }
  
    # Deploy another tar file
    deploy::file { 'jdk-8-ea-bin-b90-linux-x64-16_may_2013.tar.gz':
      target  => '/opt/development-tools/java/jdk1.8.0_b90',
      url     => 'http://server.co.za/development-tools/java/',
      strip   => true,
    }

    deploy::file { 'apache-maven-3.0.5-bin.tar.gz':
      target  => '/opt/development-tools/apache-maven',
      url     => 'http://server/pub/apache-maven/',
      strip   => true
      version => '1',
      package => 'maven'
    }

###Classes:

• deploy - set the default working directory.

###Definitions:

• deploy::file - Deploy a compressed file to a target directory.

Common Parameters

target

• The target directory to decompress the archive file too.
• This parameter is required

url

• The URL where the file can be downloaded from.
• This parameter is required. Do no specify the file name in the URL.
• For testing purpose, the module can handle URLs in from file:///... and puppet:///... style. You must not specify the file name with this URLs either.

owner

• Define which user will owner deployed files. You need to declare this user.

group

• Define which group will owner deployed files. You need to declare this group.
• Defaults to undefined

strip

• Strip root directory from archive file
• Defaults to 'false'

strip_level

• Levels to strip from root directory from archive file
• Defaults to '1'

version

• Define an arbitrary version number for the tar file. Must be an integer.
• WARNING: Incrementing this version number removes target directory and and redeploys tar file. Both version and package must be defined.
• Defaults to undefined

package

• define an arbitrary package name for the tar file.
• creates a static fact [package]_version in /etc/facter/facts.d/ with file name [package].yaml. Both version and package must be defined.
• Defaults to undefined
• requires facter 1.7.x
• requires the /etc/facter/facts.d/ directory structure to be in place.

If you decide to use the version and package parameters you get to keep both pieces if it breaks. I certainly don't recommend managing packages this way.

##Limitations

• I'm sure there are many
