NAME

SYNOPSIS

A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.

USAGE

filebucket [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose]

[-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server <server>] [-b|--bucket <directory>] <file> <file> ...

DESCRIPTION

This is a stand-alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or central filebucket.

USAGE

This client 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 content to its original location.

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+.

EXAMPLE

$ filebucket backup /etc/passwd /etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949 $ filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949 $

OPTIONS

Note that any configuration parameter that´s valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, ´ssldir´ is a valid configuration parameter, so you can specify ´--ssldir <directory>´ as an argument.

See the configuration file documentation at http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/reference/configref.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

configuration 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

filebucket -b /tmp/filebucket /my/file
