NAME

       puppet-filebucket - Store and retrieve files in a filebucket

SYNOPSIS

       A stand-alone Puppet filebucket client.

USAGE

       puppet filebucket mode [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-l|--local]
       [-r|--remote] [-s|--server server] [-f|--fromdate date]  [-t|--todate  date]  [-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.

       diff:  Print a diff in unified format between two checksums in the filebucket or between a
       checksum and its matching file.

       list: List all files in the current local filebucket. Listing remote  filebuckets  is  not
       allowed.

DESCRIPTION

       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',
       or by specifying '--bucket' with a local path.

           Note:  Enabling and using the backup option, and by extension the filebucket resource,
           requires appropriate planning and management to ensure that sufficient disk  space  is
           available  for  the  file  backups. Generally, you can implement this using one of the
           following two options: - Use a find command and crontab entry to retain only the  last
           X days of file backups. For example:

       shell  find  /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/bucket -type f -mtime +45 -atime +45
       -print0 | xargs -0 rm

       ○   Restrict the directory to a maximum size after which the oldest items are removed.

OPTIONS

       Note that any setting that's valid  in  the  configuration  file  is  also  a  valid  long
       argument.  For  example,  'ssldir'  is  a  valid  setting,  so  you  can specify '--ssldir
       directory' as an argument.

       See          the          configuration          file           documentation           at
       https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/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'.

       --bucket
              Specify   a  local  filebucket  path.  This  overrides  the  default  path  set  in
              '$clientbucketdir'.

       --debug
              Enable full debugging.

       --fromdate
              (list only) Select bucket files from 'fromdate'.

       --help Print this help message.

       --local
              Use the local filebucket. This uses the default configuration information  and  the
              bucket  located at the '$clientbucketdir' setting by default. If '--bucket' is set,
              puppet uses that path instead.

       --remote
              Use a remote filebucket. This uses the default configuration  information  and  the
              bucket located at the '$bucketdir' setting by default.

       --server_list
              A  list  of comma seperated servers; only the first entry is used for file storage.
              This setting takes precidence over server.

       --server
              The server to use for file storage. This setting is only used if server_list is not
              set.

       --todate
              (list only) Select bucket files until 'todate'.

       --verbose
              Print extra information.

       --version
              Print version information.
