crmngr

crmngr (Control Repository Manager) is a tool to aid with the management of a r10k-style control repository for puppet

from r10k's github page:
R10k provides a general purpose toolset for deploying Puppet environments and modules. It implements the Puppetfile format and provides a native implementation of Puppet dynamic environments.

r10k is a tool that creates a puppet environment for each branch in a git repository (the "control repository") on the puppetmaster. Each branch contains a Puppetfile that declares which puppet modules in which versions from which source (puppetforge or a git URL) should be installed in the corresponding environment. When working with more than a handful environments it is hard to keep track of the modules spread over all these environments. Here is where crmngr comes to the rescue.

crmngr (Control Repository Manager) can generate reports and help with adding, updating or removing modules in Puppetfiles spread over multiple branches.

See usage section of this document for details.

CAVEATS:
crmngr will not parse/validate metadata.json and thus will not check if all dependencies are satisfied between the modules in a certain environment !

It is similar to https://github.com/camptocamp/puppetfile-updater and was developed independently during the same timeframe.

crmngr supports python >=3.4 and has the following 3rd-party dependencies

crmngr further relies on git >=1.8

crmngr can be installed using different methods, see below.

Additionally the git binary needs to be in the invoking users PATH, and the access to the r10k control repository needs to be password-less. (f.e. using SSH pubkey authentication). This also applies to git repositories used in Puppetfiles.

pip3 install crmngr

crmngr is available in the AUR

crmngr is available in the PPA, package is called python3-crmngr

crmngr is looking for its configuration files in ~/.crmngr/ and will create them if run for the first time.

crmngr supports multiple profiles. Each profile represents an r10k-style control repository.

Profiles are read from ~/.crmngr/profiles

The only mandatory setting is repository in the default section defining the git url of the r10k-style control repository of the default profile.

[default]
repository = git@git.example.org:user/control.git

If started without configuration file, crmngr will offer to create one.

Additional sections can be added to support multiple profiles

[profile2]
repository = git@git2.example.org:anotheruser/control.git

Run crmngr with option --profile to use a profile other than default.

the default behaviour of crmngr can be adjusted in the ~/.crmngr/prefs file.

Defaults (i.e. behaviour if no prefs file is present):

[crmngr]
cache_ttl = 86400
version_check = yes
wrap = yes

Supported settings:

  • cache_ttl: yes/no Whether or not to read version info from cache. This sets the default value of the --cache-ttl cli argument.
  • version_check: yes/no Whether or not to check for latest version in report mode . This influences the default behaviour of --version-check / --no-version-check cli arguments
  • wrap: yes/no Whether or not to wrap long lines in report mode. This influences the default behaviour of --wrap / --no-wrap cli arguments.
usage: crmngr [-h] [-v] [--cache-ttl TTL] [-d] [-p PROFILE]
              {clean,create,delete,environments,profiles,report,update} ...

The clean command clears the cache used by crmngr.

usage: crmngr clean [-h]

Clean version cache.

This will delete the cache directory (~/.crmngr/cache).

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
usage: crmngr create [-h] [-t ENVIRONMENT] [--no-report]
                     [--version-check | --no-version-check]
                     [--wrap | --no-wrap]
                     environment

Create a new environment.

Unless --template/-t is specified, this command will create a new
environment containing the following files (tldr. an environemnt without
any modules):

Puppetfile
---
forge 'http://forge.puppetlabs.com'

---

manifests/site.pp
---
hiera_include('classes')
---

If --template/-t is specified, the command will clone the existing
ENVIRONMENT including all files and directories it contains.

positional arguments:
  environment           name of the new environment

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t ENVIRONMENT, --template ENVIRONMENT
                        name of an existing environment to clone the new
                        environment from

report options:
  --no-report           disable printing a report for the new
                        environment (default: False)
  --version-check       enable check for latest version (forge modules)
                        or latest git tag (git modules). (default: True)
  --no-version-check    disable check for latest version (forge modules)
                        or latest git tag (git modules). (default:
                        False)
  --wrap                enable wrapping of long lines. (default: True)
  --no-wrap             disable wrapping long lines. (default: False)
usage: crmngr delete [-h] environment

Delete an environment.

The command will ask for confirmation.

positional arguments:
  environment  name of the environment to delete

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
usage: crmngr environments [-h]

List all environments in the control-repository of the currently
selected profile.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
usage: crmngr profiles [-h]

List all available configuration profiles.

To add a new configuration profile, open ~/.crmngr/profiles and add a
new section:

[new_profile_name]
repository = control-repo-url

Ensure there is always a default section!

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

The report command is used to generate reports about module versions used in the various branches of a control repository.

The report is aggregated by module, listing all module version, which branch they use and what would be the latest installable version. (Version for forge.puppetlabs.com modules, Tag for modules installed from git)

NOTE:

The report command will output colorized text. When using a pager, make sure the pager understands these colors. For less use option -r:

crmngr report | less -r

# or if the output shall be preserved in a file
crmngr report > report.out
less -r report.out

# or if you want to strip color codes all together
crmngr report | perl -pe 's/\e\[?.*?[\@-~]//g'
usage: crmngr report [-h] [-e [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]]]
                     [-m [MODULES [MODULES ...]]] [-c]
                     [--version-check | --no-version-check]
                     [--wrap | --no-wrap]

Generate a report about modules and versions deployed in the puppet
environments.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

filter options:
  -e [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --env [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --environment [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --environments [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]]
                        only report modules in environments matching any
                        PATTERN. If the first supplied PATTERN is !, only
                        report modules in environments NOT matching any
                        PATTERN. PATTERN is a case-sensitive glob(7)-style
                        pattern.
  -m [MODULES [MODULES ...]],
  --mod [MODULES [MODULES ...]],
  --module [MODULES [MODULES ...]],
  --modules [MODULES [MODULES ...]]
                        only report modules matching any PATTERN. If the
                        first supplied PATTERN is !, only report modules NOT
                        matching any PATTERN. PATTERN is a case-sensitive
                        glob(7)-style pattern.

display options:
  -c, --compare         compare mode will only show modules that differ
                        between environments.
  --version-check       disable check for latest version (forge modules) or
                        latest git tag (git modules). The information is
                        cached for subsequent runs. (default: True)
  --no-version-check    disable check for latest version (forge modules) or
                        latest git tag (git modules). (default: False)
  --wrap                enable wrapping of long lines. (default: True)
  --no-wrap             disable wrapping of long lines. (default: False)

Gather a report of all module versions, in all branches:

crmngr report

Gather a report of all modules in branches ending with Production:

crmngr report --environments "*Production"

Gather a report of all modules that contain profile in their name:

crmngr report --modules "*profile*"

Gather a report of modules apache, php and mysql in environments starting with Cust:

crmngr report --environments "Cust*" --modules apache php mysql

Gather a report of all modules in environments CustProd, CustStage and CustDev. Only show the differences.

crmngr report --environments CustProd CustStage CustDev --compare

The update command updates, adds or removes modules from environments.

The update command will display a diff for every affected environment and will ask you to confirm the changes.

NOTE:
The author part of a module name is only used to find the correct module on forge. If you run update on --module puppetlabs/stdlib, this will also affect all other stdlib modules that might be in a environment (i.e. otherauthor/stdlib or stdlib installed from git will be replaced by puppetlabs/stdlib).
usage: crmngr update [-h] [-e [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]]]
                     [-m [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]]] [--add] [--remove]
                     [-r ENVIRONMENT] [-n | --non-interactive]
                     [--forge | --git [URL]] [--version [FORGE_VERSION] |
                     --tag [GIT_TAG] | --commit GIT_COMMIT | --branch
                     GIT_BRANCH]

Update puppet environment.

This command allows to update module version, and addition or removal of
puppet modules in one or more environment.

If the update command is run without update or version options all modules
matching the filter options will be updated to the latest available version.
(forge version for forge module, git tag (if available) or HEAD for git
modules).

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

filter options:
  -e [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --env [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --environment [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --environments [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]]
                        only update modules in environments matching any
                        PATTERN. If the first supplied PATTERN is !, only
                        update modules in environments NOT matching any
                        PATTERN. PATTERN is a case-sensitive glob(7)-style
                        pattern.
  -m [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --mod [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --module [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]],
  --modules [PATTERN [PATTERN ...]]
                        only update modules matching any PATTERN. If the
                        first supplied PATTERN is !, only update modules NOT
                        matching any PATTERN. PATTERN is a case-sensitive
                        glob(7)-style pattern unless a version option is
                        specified. If a version option is specified, PATTERN
                        needs to be a single module name. If updating a
                        forge module (--forge) this needs to be in
                        author/module format.

update options:
  --add                 add modules (-m) if not already in environment.
                        Default behaviour is to only update modules (-m) in
                        environments they are already deployed in.
  --remove              remove module from Puppetfile. version options
                        (--version, --tag, --commit, --branch) are
                        irrelevant. All modules matching a module filter
                        pattern (-m) will be removed. This also applies if a
                        module pattern includes an author (forge module).
                        Only the module name is relevant.
  -r ENVIRONMENT, --reference ENVIRONMENT
                        use ENVIRONMENT as reference. All modules will be
                        updated to the version deployed in the reference
                        ENVIRONMENT. If combined with --add, modules not yet
                        in the environments (-e) are added. If combined with
                        --remove, modules not in reference will be removed
                        from the environments (-e).

interactivity options:
  -n, --dry-run, --diff-only
                        display diffs of what would be changed
  --non-interactive     in non-interactive mode, crmngr will neither ask for
                        confirmation before commit or push, nor will it show
                        diffs of what will be changed. Use with care!

version options:
  these options are only applicable if operating on a single module.

  --forge               source module from puppet forge.
  --git [URL]           source module from git URL. If specified without URL
                        the existing URL will be used. URL is mandatory if
                        invoked with --add.
  --version [FORGE_VERSION]
                        pin module to forge version. If parameter is
                        specified without VERSION, latest available version
                        from forge will be used instead
  --tag [GIT_TAG]       pin a module to a git tag. If parameter is specified
                        without TAG, latest tag available in git repository
                        is used instead
  --commit GIT_COMMIT   pin module to a git commit
  --branch GIT_BRANCH   pin module to a git branch

Sanitize Puppetfiles of all branches:

crmngr update

Update stdlib module in all branches to latest forge version.

crmngr update --module puppetlabs/stdlib --forge --version

Update stdlib module in all branches to latest forge version. Additionally add the module to branches that currently lack the stdlib module

crmngr update --module puppetlabs/stdlib --forge --version --add

Remove icinga modules from control repository branches that end with Vagrant.

crmngr update --remove --module icinga --environments "*Vagrant"

Update apache module to git branch 2.0.x in control repository branch Devel

crmngr update --environments Devel \
              --module apache \
              --git git@github.com:puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apache.git \
              --branch 2.0.x

The profile command lists available configuration profiles.
