#Rootless

A puppet module providing types and providers to enable puppet to be 

functional without running as root.

One goal is to produce near-normal puppet types so that regular puppet 

manifests can be written in the regular style.

Another goal is to integrate well with sudo functionality.

##Types

###rootless::file

A file type that overcomes the limitiation of creating the file. This 

assumes that the file is writeable by the user puppet is running as. It 

overcomes the problem where the containing directory of the file is not

writeable by the user running puppet.

    rootless::file {'/etc/httpd/conf.d/app.conf':

      content => template('application.apache.erb'),

      notify  => Service['httpd'],

    }

###rootless::tardir

A type that will untar a tarfile that contains a directory. The tarfile must be local

or nfs mounted and the tarball must create a single directory (for purging to work).

Additionally the folder that is being created must be known ahead of time. This is a

base type that can be leveraged to make a more complex behavior.

    rootless::tardir { '/opt/app/place/folder':

      ensure  => absent,

      tarfile => '/big/nfs/mount/tar.tar.gz'

    }

    rootless::tardir { '/opt/app/other_place/folder':

      ensure  => present,

      tarfile => '/big/nfs/mount/tar.tar.gz'

    }

###rootless::jdk

A type that will install a jdk based on major and minor version number from

a tarball found somewhere else on the filesystem(often an nfs mount).

    rootless::jdk { '/opt/app/place/':

      ensure              => present,

      jdk_major_version  => '7',

      jdk_update_version => '25',

      tarball_directory   => '/big/nfs/mount',

    }

    rootless::jdk { '/opt/app/other_place/':

      ensure            => present,

      tarball_directory => '/big/nfs/mount',

      jdk_file         => 'my-special-jdk-tarball.tar.gz',

      jdk_install_dir  => 'jdk1.7.0_09',    # the directory created by the untar operation

    }

    rootless::jdk { '/opt/app/yet_another_place/':

      ensure           => absent,

      jdk_install_dir => 'jdk-1.7.0_12',

    }

    rootless::jdk { 'my-jdk-install':

      ensure              => present,

      jdk_major_version  => '7',

      jdk_update_version => '25',

      tarball_directory   => '/big/nfs/mount',

      install_root        => '/opt/app/best_place',

    }

##Facts

###var_tmp_rw

A fact checking if /var/tmp is writable by the puppet user. Var/tmp is a good place to

store permanent temporary files, for the rootless::file type for instance. This will help

us pick a tempdir to create things. Var/tmp is preferable to /tmp since /var/tmp usually

persists after reboot.
