💖 mc-puppetd(1) — the puppet-herder era 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about mc-puppetd — and yes, the mc-puppetd manual page is right here in your terminal, living its best life. this is the vibe: a lil script that manages your remote puppet daemons. that's it. that's the whole gig. and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mc-puppetd [enable|disable|runonce|status|count|runall|summary]
           [concurrency]

so you hand it one of those verbs — enable, disable, runonce, status, count, runall, summary — and optionally a concurrency value, and it goes and does the thing. periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

mc-puppetd is a script that manages remote puppet daemons. that's the whole main-character summary, no cap. but the <em>how</em> is where it gets juicy — there's a whole little wardrobe of options, so let's go 💅

🔥 Run Options 🔥

the "actually do the puppet thing" department.

  • -f, --force — forces the puppet run to happen immediately, without splay. no waiting around, no gentle easing in. just GO. 🏃♀️
  • --np, --no-progress — hides the progress bar. if you don't want to watch the lil bar crawl, this is your girl.
  • -1, --one — sends the request to only one of the discovered nodes. just one. a single one. she's picky like that 🙈
  • --limit-nodes, --ln [COUNT] — sends the request to only a subset of nodes. and plot twist: the COUNT can be a percentage. math girlies rise 🫶

💜 Common Options 💜

the everyday essentials, the ones that just live in your muscle memory.

  • -T, --target COLLECTIVE — targets messages at a specific sub collective.
  • -c, --config FILE — loads the configuration from a file instead of from the default. bring your own config, be your own person ✨
  • --dt, --discovery-timeout SECONDS — the timeout, in SECONDS, for doing discovery. don't let discovery ghost you forever, bestie ⏳
  • -t, --timeout SECONDS — the timeout, in SECONDS, for calling remote agents.
  • -q, --quiet — do not be verbose. shhh 🤫
  • -v, --verbose — be verbose. tell me EVERYTHING 🗣️
  • -h, --help — displays this screen. the classic. the goat. the "help me i forgot the flags" flag 💖

🌸 Host Filters 🌸

picking <em>which</em> hosts get to be in the group chat.

  • -W, --with FILTER — the combined classes and facts filter. two-for-one, lowkey efficient.
  • -F, --wf, --with-fact fact=val — matches hosts that have a certain fact set to a certain value. fact=val, exactly like that, no cap.
  • -C, --wc, --with-class CLASS — matches hosts with a certain config management class.
  • -A, --wa, --with-agent AGENT — matches hosts with a certain agent.
  • -I, --wi, --with-identity IDENT — matches hosts with a certain configured identity.
