puppet-filebucket (8)

A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.

puppet filebucket mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-l|--local] [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server] [-b|--bucket directory] file file ...

Puppet filebucket 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.

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

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\'.

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://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with \'--genconfig\'.
