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

[Nicolas Charles]

Hi Benoit,

For your first use case, you can use the variables 
${rudder.node.hostname} and ${rudder.node.id} 'see 
http://www.rudder-project.org/foswiki/System/ContextedVariables ) that 
would refer to the hostname and node id.
so you could create one file per node, and copy it with Copy from the 
shared folder
Problem is that you need to have the file existing when you add new 
nodes into Rudder. As you pointed, there is no "default" for copy (you 
are probably refering to the method called single copy nirvana in 
CFEngine), and it is not implemented as it "hides" the intent of the 
configuration

For the Postgres case, i'd define a Group that contains all nodes that 
have default file, and others for specific config file, and then use the 
"Define generic variable" to define where to copy from the file, and use 
the defined variable in the path of the file to copy from.

Does it help?
Nicolas
