Retrieving files from Puppet's filebucket

"A Freudian slip is when you say one thing, but mean your mother."—Anon

We all make mistakes; that's why pencils have erasers. Whenever Puppet changes a file on the client, it keeps a backup copy of the previous version. We can see this process in action if we make a change, however small, to an existing file:

The part we're interested in is this line:

Puppet creates an MD5 hash of the file's contents and uses this to create a filebucket path, based on the first few characters of the hash. The filebucket is where Puppet keeps backup copies of any files that it replaces, and it's located by default in /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket.

# ls /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket/c/0/7/d/0/a/a/2/c07d0aa2d43d58ea7b5c5307f532a0b1
contents paths

As you just saw, the # ls command listed the filenames. You will see two files in the bucket location: contents and paths. The contents file contains, as you might expect, the original contents of the file. The paths file contains its original path.

It's easy to find the file if you know its content hash (as we did in this case). If you don't, it's helpful to create a table of contents of the whole filebucket by building an index file.

How to do it...

Create the index file using the following command:

# find /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket -name paths -execdir cat {} \; -execdir pwd \; -execdir date -r {} +"%F %T" \; -exec echo \; > bucket.txt

Search the index file to find the file you're looking for:

# cat bucket.txt 
/etc/sudoers
/var/lib/puppet/clientbucket/c/0/7/d/0/a/a/2/c07d0aa2d43d58ea7b5c5307f532a0b1
2010-12-27 07:13:21

/etc/sudoers
/var/lib/puppet/clientbucket/1/0/9/0/e/2/8/a/1090e28a70ebaae872c2ec78894f49eb
2010-12-27 07:12:20

To retrieve the file once you know its bucket path, just copy the contents file to the original filename:

# cp /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket/1/0/9/0/e/2/8/a/1090e28a70ebaae872c2ec78894f49eb/contents /etc/sudoers

How it works...

The script will create a complete list of files in the filebucket, showing the original name of the file, the bucket path, and the modification date (in case you need to retrieve one of several previous versions of the file). Once you know the bucket path, then you can copy the file back into place.

There's more...

You can have Puppet create backup copies of the file in its original location, rather than in the filebucket. To do this, use the backup parameter in your manifest:

file { "/etc/sudoers":
    mode   => "440",
    source => "puppet:///modules/admin/sudoers",
    backup => ".bak",
}

Now, if Puppet replaces the file, it will create a backup version in the same location with the extension .bak. To make this the default policy for all files, use:

File {
    backup => ".bak",
}

To disable backups altogether, use the following code:

    backup => false,
