[rudder-users] Deploy specific files by node with 1 directive

[Benoit LAURENT]

Hello,

I would like deploy with configuration files in my machine.
But if I used Rudder I must create 1 rule for each machine.
I would like to introduce to directives the hostname version.


For example:

In my /var/rudder/shared-files/  I commit one directory by hostname
and I put in configuration files:
tree shared-files
shared-files
        host1
                  mysql.conf
        host3
                  babla.conf
                  postgresql.conf
        hostname43
And after I create directive  "copy shared file." with copy from
shared-files/${HOSTNAME/UUID}/*    TO   /etc/rudder/conf/ .


Other raisoning, I would like to copy to all postgres node groups same
files by "role":
shared-files
             default  <= defaut conf for all nodes
                  mysql.conf
              host3   <= errase conf for host3 node
                  mysql.conf

And after I create directive  "copy shared file." with copy from
shared-files/${AUTOPATH}/*    TO   /etc/rudder/conf/ and rudder try to
copy from shared-files/host3 and if does not exists,
shared-files/default .


It it an example. And I dont know if it is a good raisoning: is it
possible to proceed with other method ?

Benoit
