Puppet::Parser::Functions.newfunction(:local_scope,
:type => :rvalue,
:doc => <<-'EOS'
Generates the local scope as a hash. This allows you to use epp functions more
or less like erb templates by passing local scope as the parameters argument.
e.g., `content => epp('mymodname/template.epp', local_scope() )`
EOS

scope = self.to_hash
scope.reject! { |key,val| scope['facts'].include? key }

Puppet - Node Purging via APIs

Puppet Node Purging via API

When you're decomissioning a machine that has been managed by Puppet you may want to programatically clean up the node. There are two parts to this:

  • revoking and deleting the certificate of the node in Puppet's CA
  • deactivating the node in PuppetDB

The following should work for Puppet 4.x and Puppet DB 4.x (including Puppet Enterprise 2016.4.x, 2017.1.x, 2017.2.x).

I've used certificate based auth, and the examples are being run from the puppet master so make use of existing certificates for authentication. When run remotely the cacert, certificate and corresponding private key for authentication will need to be present.

Reset a Replica for Reuse (aka RRR)
#!/bin/bash
# The Puppet Enterprise High Availability documentation states:
#
# Run the forget command whenever a replica node is destroyed,
# even if you plan to replace it with a replica with the same name.
#
# Some users prefer to forget and reuse (instead of destroy and replace) a replica.
# As an alternative, when `/opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet-enterprise-uninstaller` isn't available,
# this script uninstalls Puppet Enterprise on the Replica.

Using git-flow to automate your git branching workflow

Using git-flow to automate your git branching workflow

By Jeff Kreeftmeijer

=========================

Vincent Driessen’s branching model is a git branching and release management strategy that helps developers keep track of features, hotfixes and releases in bigger software projects. This workflow has lot of commands to type and remember, so there’s also the git-flow library of git subcommands to help automate some parts of the flow to make working with it easier.
