A Puppet module to download files with wget, supporting authentication.
install wget:
include wget
wget::fetch { "download Google's index":
source => 'https://www.google.com/index.html',
destination => '/tmp/',
timeout => 0,
verbose => false,
}
or alternatively:
wget::fetch { 'https://www.google.com/index.html':
destination => '/tmp/',
timeout => 0,
verbose => false,
}
If $destination
ends in either a forward or backward slash, it will treat the destination as a directory and name the file with the basename of the $source
.
wget::fetch { 'https://mywebsite.com/apples':
destination => '/downloads/',
}
Download from an array of URLs into one directory
$manyfiles = [
'https://mywebsite.com/apples',
'https://mywebsite.com/oranges',
'https://mywebsite.com/bananas',
]
wget::fetch { $manyfiles:
destination => '/downloads/',
}
This fetches a document which requires authentication:
wget::fetch { 'Fetch secret PDF':
source => 'https://confidential.example.com/secret.pdf',
destination => '/tmp/',
user => 'user',
password => 'p$ssw0rd',
timeout => 0,
verbose => false,
}
This caches the downloaded file in an intermediate directory to avoid repeatedly downloading it. This uses the timestamping (-N) and prefix (-P) wget options to only re-download if the source file has been updated.
wget::fetch { 'https://tool.com/downloads/tool-1.0.tgz':
destination => '/tmp/',
cache_dir => '/var/cache/wget',
}
It's assumed that the cached file will be named after the source's URL basename but this assumption can be broken if wget follows some redirects. In this case you must inform the correct filename in the cache like this:
wget::fetch { 'https://tool.com/downloads/tool-latest.tgz':
destination => '/tmp/tool-1.0.tgz',
cache_dir => '/var/cache/wget',
cache_file => 'tool-1.1.tgz',
execuser => 'fileowner',
group => 'filegroup',
}
Checksum can be used in the source_hash
parameter, with the MD5-sum of the content to be downloaded.
If content exists, but does not match it is removed before downloading.
If you want to use your own unless condition, you can do it. This example uses wget to download the latest version of Wordpress to your destination folder only if the folder is empty (test used returns 1 if directory is empty or 0 if not).
wget::fetch { 'wordpress':
source => 'https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz',
destination => "/var/www/html/latest_wordpress.tar.gz",
timeout => 0,
unless => "test $(ls -A /var/www/html 2>/dev/null)",
}
This preserve the permissions from the source:
wget::fetch { 'wordpress':
source => 'https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz',
destination => "/var/www/html/latest_wordpress.tar.gz",
timeout => 0,
preserve_permissions => true,
}
Testing is done with rspec, Beaker-rspec, Beaker)
To test and build the module
bundle install
# run specs
rake
# run Beaker system tests with vagrant vms
rake beaker
# to use other vm from the list spec/acceptance/nodesets and not destroy the vm after the tests
BEAKER_destroy=no BEAKER_set=centos-65-x64-docker bundle exec rake beaker
# Release the Puppet module to the Forge, doing a clean, build, tag, push, bump_commit and git push
rake module:release
