NAME

6       puppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in a filebucket
7

SYNOPSIS

9       A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.
10

USAGE

12       puppet   filebucket   mode   [-h|--help]   [-V|--version]  [-d|--debug]
13       [-v|--verbose]   [-l|--local]   [-r|--remote]   [-s|--server    server]
14       [-f|--fromdate  date]  [-t|--todate  date] [-b|--bucket directory] file
15       file ...
16
17       Puppet filebucket can operate in three modes, with only  one  mode  per
18       call:
19
20       backup:  Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent
21       file is printed with its resulting sha256 sum.
22
23       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
26       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
31       diff: Print a diff in unified format between two checksums in the file‐
32       bucket or between a checksum and its matching file.
33
34       list:  List  all  files in the current local filebucket. Listing remote
35       filebuckets is not allowed.
36

DESCRIPTION

38       This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or
39       central filebucket.
40
41       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
47
48
49             find /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/bucket -type f -mtime +45 -atime +45 -print0 | xargs -0 rm
50
51
52
53       •   Restrict  the  directory  to  a maximum size after which the oldest
54           items are removed.
55

57

OPTIONS

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
63       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
68       --bucket
69              Specify a local filebucket path. This overrides the default path
70              set in ´$clientbucketdir´.
71
72       --debug
73              Enable full debugging.
74
75       --fromdate
76              (list only) Select bucket files from ´fromdate´.
77
78       --help Print this help message.
79
80       --local
81              Use the local filebucket. This uses  the  default  configuration
82              information  and  the  bucket  located at the ´$clientbucketdir´
83              setting by default. If ´--bucket´ is set, puppet uses that  path
84              instead.
85
86       --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
91       --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
95       --server
96              The server to use for file storage. This setting is only used if
97              server_list is not set.
98
99       --todate
100              (list only) Select bucket files until ´todate´.
101
102       --verbose
103              Print extra information.
104
105       --version
106              Print version information.
