Everybody wants to be a rock star. 🎶

Rockstar 🤘🎸

We all know you want to take it higher and rock on. This module gives you a function and an exec provider to do just that! Write your code as hair metal power ballads just like the gods of rock intended.

See the Code with Rockstar homepage for guidance on writing Rockstar code.

Setup Requirements

Any nodes running rockstar scripts will need the kaiser-ruby gem installed. You'll also need pry because the author did too many lines of coke and forgot to take debugging libraries out of the production release.

This is managed in the rockstar class, so you can just include that.

To clean up after, pass the ensure => absent parameter to that class and it will remove the gems and the dependent libraries it pulls in. Note that just because those were the dependencies resolved on my test machine doesn't mean that they'll be accurate for yours, so you might want to observe which gems get installed and remove them manually instead.

Usage

Just write some rockstar code, then evaluate it with the rockstar function or the exec provider. A fizzbuzz.rock example is included in the files directory, used by the example manifest provided.

Function example:

include rockstar

notify { 'testing':
  message => rockstar(file('rockstar/fizzbuzz.rock')),
}

Exec examples:

include rockstar

exec { 'inline':
  command   => file('rockstar/fizzbuzz.rock'),
  provider  => rockstar,
  logoutput => true,
}

file { '/tmp/fizzbuzz.rock':
  ensure => file,
  owner  => 'root',
  mode   => '0666',
  source => 'puppet:///modules/rockstar/fizzbuzz.rock',
}
-> exec { 'from file':
  command   => '/tmp/fizzbuzz.rock',
  provider  => rockstar,
  logoutput => true,
}

Limitations

Lol, you're not actually using this, are you?
