16 Puppet filebucket can operate in three modes, with only one mode per
18 call:
19 backup: Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent
21 file is printed with its resulting sha256 sum.
22 get: Return the text associated with an sha256 sum. The text is printed
24 to stdout, and only one file can be retrieved at a time.
25 restore: Given a file path and an sha256 sum, store the content associ‐
27 ated with the sum into the specified file path. You can specify an en‐
28 tirely new path to this argument; you are not restricted to restoring
29 the content to its original location.
30 diff: Print a diff in unified format between two checksums in the file‐
32 bucket or between a checksum and its matching file.
33 list: List all files in the current local filebucket. Listing remote
35 filebuckets is not allowed.
36
38 This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or
39 central filebucket.
40 Note that ´filebucket´ defaults to using a network-based filebucket
42 available on the server named ´puppet´. To use this, you´ll have to be
43 running as a user with valid Puppet certificates. Alternatively, you
44 can use your local file bucket by specifying ´--local´, or by specify‐
45 ing ´--bucket´ with a local path.
46 find /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/bucket -type f -mtime +45 -atime +45 -print0 | xargs -0 rm
50 • Restrict the directory to a maximum size after which the oldest
54 items are removed.
55
59 Note that any setting that´s valid in the configuration file is also a
60 valid long argument. For example, ´ssldir´ is a valid setting, so you
61 can specify ´--ssldir directory´ as an argument.
62 See the configuration file documentation at https://pup‐
64 pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html for the full list of ac‐
65 ceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can
66 also be generated by running puppet with ´--genconfig´.
67 --bucket
69 Specify a local filebucket path. This overrides the default path
70 set in ´$clientbucketdir´.
71 --debug
73 Enable full debugging.
74 --fromdate
76 (list only) Select bucket files from ´fromdate´.
77 --help Print this help message.
79 --local
81 Use the local filebucket. This uses the default configuration
82 information and the bucket located at the ´$clientbucketdir´
83 setting by default. If ´--bucket´ is set, puppet uses that path
84 instead.
85 --remote
87 Use a remote filebucket. This uses the default configuration in‐
88 formation and the bucket located at the ´$bucketdir´ setting by
89 default.
90 --server_list
92 A list of comma separated servers; only the first entry is used
93 for file storage. This setting takes precidence over server.
94 --server
96 The server to use for file storage. This setting is only used if
97 server_list is not set.
98 --todate
100 (list only) Select bucket files until ´todate´.
101 --verbose
103 Print extra information.
104 --version
106 Print version information.
