-## Overview
+## Module Description
The apt module lets you use Puppet to manage Apt sources, keys, and other configuration options.
-## Module Description
-
Apt (Advanced Package Tool) is a package manager available on Debian, Ubuntu, and several other operating systems. The apt module provides a series of classes, defines, types, and facts to help you automate Apt package management.
**Note**: For this module to correctly autodetect which version of Debian/Ubuntu (or derivative) you're running, you need to make sure the 'lsb-release' package is installed. We highly recommend you either make this part of your provisioning layer, if you run many Debian or derivative systems, or ensure that you have Facter 2.2.0 or later installed, which will pull this dependency in for you.
### What apt affects
-* Your system's `preferences.list` file and `preferences.list.d` directory
+* Your system's `preferences` file and `preferences.d` directory
* Your system's `sources.list` file and `sources.list.d` directory
* System repositories
* Authentication keys
-**Note:** This module offers `purge` parameters which will cause the module to destroy any configuration on the node's `sources.list(.d)` and `preferences.list(.d)` that you haven't declared through Puppet. The default for these parameters is 'false'.
+**Note:** This module offers `purge` parameters which, if set to 'true', **destroy** any configuration on the node's `sources.list(.d)` and `preferences(.d)` that you haven't declared through Puppet. The default for these parameters is 'false'.
### Beginning with apt
To use the apt module with default parameters, declare the `apt` class.
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
include apt
-~~~
+```
-**Note:** The main `apt` class is required by all other classes, types, and defines in this module. You must declare it whenever you use the module.

## Usage
**Warning:** Using short key IDs presents a serious security issue, potentially leaving you open to collision attacks. We recommend you always use full fingerprints to identify your GPG keys. This module allows short keys, but issues a security warning if you use them.
-Declare the `apt::key` class:
+Declare the `apt::key` defined type:
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
apt::key { 'puppetlabs':
- id => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
+ id => '6F6B15509CF8E59E6E469F327F438280EF8D349F',
server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
options => 'http-proxy="http://proxyuser:proxypass@example.org:3128"',
}
-~~~
+```
### Prioritize backports
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
class { 'apt::backports':
pin => 500,
}
-~~~
+```
By default, the `apt::backports` class drops a pin file for backports, pinning it to a priority of 200. This is lower than the normal default of 500, so packages with `ensure => latest` don't get upgraded from backports without your explicit permission.
By default, Puppet runs `apt-get update` on the first Puppet run after you include the `apt` class, and anytime `notify => Exec['apt_update']` occurs; i.e., whenever config files get updated or other relevant changes occur. If you set `update['frequency']` to 'always', the update runs on every Puppet run. You can also set `update['frequency']` to 'daily' or 'weekly':
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
+class { 'apt':
+ update => {
+ frequency => 'daily',
+ },
+}
+```
+When `Exec['apt_update']` is triggered, it will generate a `Notice` message. Because the default [logging level for agents](https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/configuration.html#loglevel) is `notice`, this will cause the repository update to appear in logs and agent reports. Some tools, such as [The Foreman](https://www.theforeman.org), report the update notice as a significant change. By setting the [loglevel](https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/metaparameter.html#loglevel) metaparameter for `Exec['apt_update']` above the agent logging level, one can eliminate these updates from reports:
+```puppet
class { 'apt':
update => {
frequency => 'daily',
+ loglevel => 'debug',
},
}
-~~~
+```
### Pin a specific release
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
apt::pin { 'karmic': priority => 700 }
apt::pin { 'karmic-updates': priority => 700 }
apt::pin { 'karmic-security': priority => 700 }
-~~~
+```
You can also specify more complex pins using distribution properties:
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
apt::pin { 'stable':
priority => -10,
originator => 'Debian',
component => 'main',
label => 'Debian'
}
-~~~
+```
To pin multiple packages, pass them to the `packages` parameter as an array or a space-delimited string.
-### Add a PPA (Personal Package Archive) repository
+### Add a Personal Package Archive repository
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
apt::ppa { 'ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa': }
-~~~
+```
### Add an Apt source to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
apt::source { 'debian_unstable':
comment => 'This is the iWeb Debian unstable mirror',
location => 'http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/',
'deb' => true,
},
}
-~~~
+```
To use the Puppet Labs Apt repository as a source:
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
apt::source { 'puppetlabs':
location => 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com',
repos => 'main',
key => {
- 'id' => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
+ 'id' => '6F6B15509CF8E59E6E469F327F438280EF8D349F',
'server' => 'pgp.mit.edu',
},
-},
-~~~
+}
+```
### Configure Apt from Hiera
-~~~yaml
+Instead of specifying your sources directly as resources, you can instead just
+include the `apt` class, which will pick up the values automatically from
+hiera.
+
+```yaml
apt::sources:
'debian_unstable':
+ comment: 'This is the iWeb Debian unstable mirror'
location: 'http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/'
release: 'unstable'
repos: 'main contrib non-free'
+ pin: '-10'
key:
- id: '9AA38DCD55BE302B'
+ id: 'A1BD8E9D78F7FE5C3E65D8AF8B48AD6246925553'
server: 'subkeys.pgp.net'
- pin: '-10'
include:
src: true
deb: true
location: 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com'
repos: 'main'
key:
- id: '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30'
+ id: '6F6B15509CF8E59E6E469F327F438280EF8D349F'
server: 'pgp.mit.edu'
-~~~
+```
+
+### Replace the default sources.list file
+
+The following example replaces the default `/etc/apt/sources.list`. Along with this code, be sure to use the `purge` parameter, or you might get duplicate source warnings when running Apt.
+
+```puppet
+apt::source { "archive.ubuntu.com-${lsbdistcodename}":
+ location => 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu',
+ key => '630239CC130E1A7FD81A27B140976EAF437D05B5',
+ repos => 'main universe multiverse restricted',
+}
+
+apt::source { "archive.ubuntu.com-${lsbdistcodename}-security":
+ location => 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu',
+ key => '630239CC130E1A7FD81A27B140976EAF437D05B5',
+ repos => 'main universe multiverse restricted',
+ release => "${lsbdistcodename}-security"
+}
+
+apt::source { "archive.ubuntu.com-${lsbdistcodename}-updates":
+ location => 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu',
+ key => '630239CC130E1A7FD81A27B140976EAF437D05B5',
+ repos => 'main universe multiverse restricted',
+ release => "${lsbdistcodename}-updates"
+}
+
+apt::source { "archive.ubuntu.com-${lsbdistcodename}-backports":
+ location => 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu',
+ key => '630239CC130E1A7FD81A27B140976EAF437D05B5',
+ repos => 'main universe multiverse restricted',
+ release => "${lsbdistcodename}-backports"
+}
+```

##### Parameters (all optional)
This module is tested and officially supported on Debian 6 and 7 and Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04, and 14.04. Testing on other platforms has been light and cannot be guaranteed.

### Adding new sources or PPAs
-If you are adding a new source or PPA and trying to install packages from the new source or PPA on the same puppet run, in addition to depending on the `Apt::Source` or the `Apt::Ppa`, your `package` resource should depend on `Class['apt::update']`. You can also add [collectors](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_collectors.html) to ensure all packages happen after `apt::update`, but this can lead to dependency cycles and has implications for [virtual resources](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_collectors.html#behavior)

## Development
Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can't access the huge number of platforms and myriad hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve. We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
