ARGONAUT-DEBCONF2LDIF(1)

📦 version 1.3, in ubuntu jammy

💖 ARGONAUT-DEBCONF2LDIF 💖

okay bestie, so you know argonaut-debconf2ldif? it's the little icon from the Argonaut Documentation collection (section 1 of the manual, iykyk) and it literally reads your debconf preseed files and ✨*creates an ldif file*✨ that you can import straight into an ldap server. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

argonaut-debconf2ldif [-h] [--diff | --nodiff] [-f flag] [-b base] [-t
templates-tree] [-q questions-tree] [--templates-file file]
[--questions-file file] [-k keys-file] [-p | --noprefer-preseed] [-d |
-c]

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h — prints out this help message, bestie. like, the little "what am i even doing" moment. 🙈
  • -b — the LDAP base, usually ou=templatename,<ldap_base>. yes, with the angle brackets and everything, that's a placeholder, don't come for me. 💅
  • -c — overrides the flag and the templates/questions paths so it uses /var/log/installer/cdebconf. it's giving installer energy.
  • -d — overrides the flag and the templates/questions paths so it uses /var/cache/debconf/. cache girlie behavior. 🍓
  • -f — the flag. default is preseed. iconic default, honestly.
  • -k — preseed keys file path. this one is optional, so no pressure. 🌸
  • -p — allows type/value specs from the preseed file to have precedence over values from the templates/questions files. yes queen, let the preseed speak first. 👑
  • -q — the questions branch. default: ou=questions. so many questions, so little time. 😭
  • -t — the templates branch. default: ou=templates. slay. ✨
  • --diff — to see the diff between templates and questions. gossip, but for config files. 🔥
  • --templates-file — templates file path. default: /var/log/installer/cdebconf/templates.dat. 📁
  • --questions-file — questions file path. default: /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat. 📁

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically, this script looks up the specified Debconf or CDebconf database and converts the specified questions/templates from Debconf format "822" into LDIF. that's the whole vibe. it's a translator, but make it ldap. 🌈
