Description

A Puppet module to manage the files used by BashRC

Setup

What BashRC module affects

• modify the files for the machine linked to BashRC in /etc (/etc/bashrc and /etc/profile)
• modify the skelton files used for new created users in /etc/skel
• according to your configuration, modify the bashrc files for the selected users Warning : this package will modify the bashrc files (and its skelton files) ! Your console may be directly affected if you already customized it ! Otherwise, you can use it safely.

Beginning with BashRC

A basic example is as follows:

  include ::bashrc

Usage

You can also use natively Hiera :

  include ::bashrc

bashrc::aliases:
    - 'sayhello="echo Bonjour"'
bashrc::users:
    - username: 'root'
      homedirectory: '/root'
      managelocalbashrc: true
    - username: 'myotherusername'
      homedirectory: '/home/myotherusername'
      managelocalbashrc: true

If you use Hiera and you want to use the hierarchy using this Puppet syntax :

  class { '::bashrc':
    aliases    => hiera_array('bashrc::aliases'),
    users      => hiera_array('bashrc::users'),
    extensions => hiera_array('bashrc::extensions'),
  }

In this way, you can merge (with hiera_array) the parameters
