-## Overview
+## Module Description
-The apt module lets you use Puppet to manage Apt sources, keys, and other configuration options.
+The apt module lets you use Puppet to manage APT (Advanced Package Tool) sources, keys, and other configuration options.
-## Module Description
+APT 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.
-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**: Prior to Puppet 7, 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. With Puppet 7 the `lsb-release` package is not needed.
-**Note**: For this module to be able to correctly auto detect which version of Debian/Ubuntu or derivative you're running you need to make sure the 'lsb-release' package is installed. We highly recommend making this part of your provisioning layer if you run many Debian or derivative systems or ensuring that you have at least Facter 2.2.0 installed which will pull in this dependency for you.
+<a id="setup"></a>
## Setup
+<a id="what-apt-affects"></a>
+
### What apt affects
+* Your system's `preferences` file and `preferences.d` directory
* Your system's `sources.list` file and `sources.list.d` directory
+* Your system's `apt.conf.d` directory
* System repositories
* Authentication keys
-**Note:** Setting the apt module's `purge_sources_list` and `purge_sources_list_d` parameters to 'true' will destroy any existing content 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)`, `preferences(.d)` and `apt.conf.d` that you haven't declared through Puppet. The default for these parameters is `false`.
+
+<a id="beginning-with-apt"></a>
### 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.
+**Note:** The main `apt` class is required by all other classes, types, and defined types in this module. You must declare it whenever you use the module.

## Usage
+<a id="add-gpg-keys"></a>
+
### Add GPG keys
**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"',
}
-~~~
+```
-You can make Apt load your key before others by adjusting the `priority` parameter (the default priority is 50).
-
-~~~puppet
-apt::key { 'puppetlabs':
- id => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
- server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
- options => 'http-proxy="http://proxyuser:proxypass@example.org:3128"',
- priority => '50',
-}
-~~~
+<a id="prioritize-backports"></a>
### 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.
If you raise the priority through the `pin` parameter to 500, normal policy goes into effect and Apt installs or upgrades to the newest version. This means that if a package is available from backports, it and its dependencies are pulled in from backports unless you explicitly set the `ensure` attribute of the `package` resource to `installed`/`present` or a specific version.
+<a id="update-the-list-of-packages"></a>
+
### Update the list of packages
-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':
+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
+class { 'apt':
+ update => {
+ frequency => 'daily',
+ },
+}
+```
+
+When `Exec['apt_update']` is triggered, it generates a `notice`-level message. Because the default [logging level for agents](https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html#loglevel) is `notice`, this causes the repository update to appear in agent logs. To silence these updates from the default log output, set the [loglevel](https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/metaparameter.html#loglevel) metaparameter for `Exec['apt_update']` above the agent logging level:
-~~~puppet
+```puppet
class { 'apt':
update => {
frequency => 'daily',
+ loglevel => 'debug',
},
}
-~~~
+```
+
+> **NOTE:** Every `Exec['apt_update']` run will generate a corrective change, even if the apt caches are not updated. For example, setting an update frequency of `always` can result in every Puppet run resulting in a corrective change. This is a known issue. For details, see [MODULES-10763](https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/MODULES-10763).
+
+<a id="pin-a-specific-release"></a>
### 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
+<a id="add-a-personal-package-archive-repository"></a>
+
+### Add a Personal Package Archive (PPA) 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:
+To use the Puppet 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',
},
-},
-~~~
+}
+```
+
+<a id="configure-apt-from-hiera"></a>
### 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'

+* `apt_security_updates`: The number of installed packages with available security updates from `upgrade`.
-* `include`: Configures include options. Valid options: a hash made up from the following keys:
+* `apt_security_dist_updates`: The number of installed packages with available security updates from `dist-upgrade`.
-* 'deb' - Specifies whether to request the distribution's compiled binaries. Valid options: 'true' and 'false. Default: 'true'.
+* `apt_package_updates`: The names of all installed packages with available updates from `upgrade`. In Facter 2.0 and later this data is formatted as an array; in earlier versions it is a comma-delimited string.
-* 'src' - Specifies whether to request the distribution's uncompiled source code. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default: 'false'. Default: {}.
+* `apt_package_dist_updates`: The names of all installed packages with available updates from `dist-upgrade`. In Facter 2.0 and later this data is formatted as an array; in earlier versions it is a comma-delimited string.
-* `location`: *Required, unless `ensure` is set to 'absent'.* Specifies an Apt repository. Valid options: a string containing a repository URL. Default: undef.
+* `apt_update_last_success`: The date, in epochtime, of the most recent successful `apt-get update` run (based on the mtime of /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp).
-* `pin`: Creates a declaration of the apt::pin define Valid options: a number or string to be passed to the `id` parameter of the `apt::pin` define, or a hash of `parameter => value` pairs to be passed to `apt::pin`'s corresponding parameters. Default: undef.
+* `apt_reboot_required`: Determines if a reboot is necessary after updates have been installed.
-* `release`: Specifies a distribution of the Apt repository. Valid options: a string. Default: "$lsbdistcodename".

+See [REFERENCE.md](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/main/REFERENCE.md) for all other reference documentation.
-#### Type: `apt_key`
+<a id="limitations"></a>
-Manages the GPG keys that Apt uses to authenticate packages.
+## Limitations
-**Note:** In most cases, we recommend using the `apt::key` define. It makes use of the `apt_key` type, but includes extra functionality to help prevent duplicate keys.
+This module is not designed to be split across [run stages](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_run_stages.html).
-##### Parameters (all optional)
+For an extensive list of supported operating systems, see [metadata.json](https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt/blob/main/metadata.json)
-* `content`: Supplies the entire GPG key. Useful in case the key can't be fetched from a remote location and using a file resource is inconvenient. Cannot be used in combination with `source`. Valid options: a string. Default: undef.
+### Adding new sources or PPAs
-* `options`: Passes additional options to `apt-key adv --keyserver-options`. Valid options: a string. Default: undef.
+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, your `package` resource should depend on `Class['apt::update']`, as well as depending on the `Apt::Source` or the `Apt::Ppa`. You can also add [collectors](https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/lang_collectors.html) to ensure that 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). Before running the command below, ensure that all packages have the provider set to apt.
-* `server`: Specifies a keyserver to provide Puppet's GPG key. Valid options: a string containing a domain name or a full URL. Default: 'keyserver.ubuntu.com'.
+```puppet
+Class['apt::update'] -> Package <| provider == 'apt' |>
+```
-* `source`: Specifies the location of an existing GPG key file to copy. Cannot be used in combination with `content`. Valid options: a string containing a URL (ftp://, http://, or https://) or an absolute path. Default: undef.

-## 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.
+If you have problems getting this module up and running, please [contact Support](http://puppetlabs.com/services/customer-support).
