filebucket [−h|−−help] [−V|−−version] [−d|−−debug] [−v|−−verbose]
[−l|−−local] [−r|−−remote] [−s|−−server <server>] [−b|−−bucket <directory>] <file> <file> ...
This is a stand−alone filebucket client for sending files to a local or central filebucket.
This client 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.
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+.
$ filebucket backup /etc/passwd /etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949 $ filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949 $
Note that any configuration parameter that´s valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, ´ssldir´ is a valid configuration parameter, so you can specify ´−−ssldir <directory>´ as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/reference/configref.html for the full list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with ´−−genconfig´.
debug: Enable full debugging.
help: Print this help message
local: Use the local filebucket. This will use the default
configuration information.
remote: Use a remote filebucket. This will use the default
configuration information.
server: The server to send the file to, instead of locally.
verbose: Print extra information.
version: Print version information.
