Introduction
============

`fingerpuppet` is a simple library and commandline tool to interact with Puppet's REST API
without needing to have Puppet itself installed. This may be integrated, for example,
into a provisioning tool to allow your provisioning process to remotely sign certificates
of newly built systems. Alternatively, you could use it to request known facts about
a node from your Puppet Master, or even to request a catalog for a node to, for example,
perform acceptance testing against a new version of Puppet before upgrading your
production master.

Limitations
============

This is still in early development. Features may not work completely as advertised, and will
certainly be less polished than an established product. Pull requests are welcome!

Usage
============

`fingerpuppet [commandstring]`

Steps for using the API with fingerpuppet:

1. `fingerpuppet --init --certname my.cert.name --server my.server.name`
    * Builds the config file
    * Generates the certificate and CSR
    * Submits the CSR to the Puppetmaster
2. On puppetmaster: `puppet cert sign my.cert.name`
3. `fingerpuppet --install`
    * Downloads the signed certificate and installs it
4. ...
5. Profit!

Your Puppetmaster must be configured to allow requests other than certificate requests.
See [http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_auth_conf.html](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/rest_auth_conf.html) for more information.

An example `auth.conf` might look something like:

path ~ ^/catalog/([^/]+)$
    method find
    auth yes
    allow $1, provisioner.example.com
    
    path ~ ^/node/([^/]+)$
    method find
    auth yes
    allow $1, provisioner.example.com
    
    path  /certificate_revocation_list/ca
    method find
    auth yes
    allow *
    
    path  /report
    method save
    auth yes
    allow *
    
    path  /file
    auth yes
    allow *

path  /resource
    method find
    auth any
    allow provisioner.example.com
    
    path  /status
    method find
    auth any
    allow provisioner.example.com
    
    path  /certificate/ca
    method find
    auth any
    allow *
    
    path  /certificate/
    method find
    auth any
    allow *
    
    path  /certificate_request
    method find, save
    auth any
    allow *
    
    path  /certificate_status
    method find, search, save, destroy
    auth yes
    allow pe-internal-dashboard, provisioner.example.com
    
    path  /facts
    method find, search
    auth any
    allow *
    
    path  /facts
    method save
    auth yes
    allow master.puppetlabs.vm, provisioner.example.com
    
    path  /
    auth any

The certname can be specified with `--certname` or with optional `CERTNAME` argument to many options.

You may want to use the `-dcn` options to print the cURL equivalent command.

-d, --debug                      runs in debug mode
    -h, --help                       Displays this help
    -c, --curl                       Use commandline curl rather than Net::HTTP.
    -n, --nop                        No-Op mode. Don't perform action, just output debugging data. Implies --debug.

--server SERVER              The server address of your Puppetmaster.
        --certname CERTNAME          The certname you wish to use when connecting to your Puppetmaster
        --file FILENAME              The file to send to the Puppetmaster.
        --output FILENAME            The file to save any output to.
        --state STATE                The desired state you want to set.

--init                       Initialize application. Generate config file, certificate and submit CSR. Requires --certname and --server.
        --install                    Download and install signed certificate.

--catalog                    Download the catalog compiled for your app's certname. Quite often just the default Node.
        --delete [CERTNAME]          Remove certificate and facts about a node from Puppetmaster.
        --facts [CERTNAME]           Retrieve the facts known about a given certname.
        --insert [CERTNAME]          Send facts for a given certname to the Puppetmaster. Requires --file.
        --node [CERTNAME]            Retrieve the node information (including facts) known about a given certname.
        --search QUERY               Retrieve the nodes matching a comma separated query string (e.g. kernel=Linux,virtual=vmware)

--certificate [CERTNAME]     Retrieve the certificate for a given certname or 'ca'.
        --cert_status [CERTNAME]     Retrieve the certificate status for a given certname. Set the status by using --state.
        --cert_revocation_list       Retrieve and display the certifiacte revocation list from the master.
        --sign [CERTNAME]            Instruct the Puppetmaster to sign a certificate. Requires significant privileges in auth.conf.

--file_metadata PATH         Retrieve the metadata for a file.
        --getfile PATH               Download a file from the Puppetmaster. Save to --file or output on stdout.

--resource RESOURCE          Returns a list of resources (e.g. user) or information about a resource (e.g. 'user/elvis')
        --report [CERTNAME]          Sends a YAML report to the Puppetmaster. Requires --file or --state.
        --status                     Check to make sure the Puppetmaster is alive and well.
