PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-FILEBUCKET(8)NAMEpuppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in a filebucket
SYNOPSIS
A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.
USAGE
puppet filebucket mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug]
[-v|--verbose] [-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server]
[-b|--bucket directory] file file ...
Puppet filebucket can operate in three modes, with only one mode per
call:
backup: Send one or more files to the specified file bucket. Each sent
file is printed with its resulting md5 sum.
get: Return the text associated with an md5 sum. The text is printed to
stdout, and only one file can be retrieved at a time.
restore: Given a file path and an md5 sum, store the content associated
with the sum into the specified file path. You can specify an entirely
new path to this argument; you are not restricted to restoring the con‐
tent to its original location.
DESCRIPTION
This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or
central filebucket.
Note that ´filebucket´ defaults to using a network-based filebucket
available on the server named ´puppet´. To use this, you´ll have to be
running as a user with valid Puppet certificates. Alternatively, you
can use your local file bucket by specifying ´--local´.
OPTIONS
Note that any setting that´s valid in the configuration file is also a
valid long argument. For example, ´ssldir´ is a valid setting, so you
can specify ´--ssldir directory´ as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppet‐
labs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of
acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options
can also be generated by running puppet with ´--genconfig´.
--debug
Enable full debugging.
--help Print this help message
--local
Use the local filebucket. This will use the default configura‐
tion information.
--remote
Use a remote filebucket. This will use the default configuration
information.
--server
The server to send the file to, instead of locally.
--verbose
Print extra information.
--version
Print version information.
EXAMPLE
$ puppet filebucket backup /etc/passwd
/etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
