| 1 | +# AppStreams Promise Type |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +A CFEngine custom promise type for managing AppStream modules on compatible systems. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +The `appstreams` promise type allows you to manage AppStream modules, which are a key feature of RHEL 8+ and compatible systems. AppStreams provide multiple versions of software components that can be enabled or disabled as needed. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Features |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Enable, disable, install, and remove AppStream modules |
| 12 | +- Support for specifying streams and profiles |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Installation |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +To install this promise type, copy the `appstreams.py` file to your CFEngine masterfiles directory and configure the promise agent: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | +promise agent appstreams |
| 20 | +{ |
| 21 | + interpreter => "/usr/bin/python3"; |
| 22 | + path => "$(sys.workdir)/modules/promises/appstreams.py"; |
| 23 | +} |
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Usage |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Ensure a module is enabled |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | +bundle agent main |
| 32 | +{ |
| 33 | + appstreams: |
| 34 | + "nodejs" |
| 35 | + state => "enabled", |
| 36 | + stream => "12"; |
| 37 | +} |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### Ensure a module is disabled |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | +bundle agent main |
| 44 | +{ |
| 45 | + appstreams: |
| 46 | + "nodejs" |
| 47 | + state => "disabled"; |
| 48 | +} |
| 49 | +``` |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +### Ensure a module is installed with a specific profile |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +``` |
| 54 | +bundle agent main |
| 55 | +{ |
| 56 | + appstreams: |
| 57 | + "python36" |
| 58 | + state => "installed", |
| 59 | + stream => "3.6", |
| 60 | + profile => "minimal"; |
| 61 | +} |
| 62 | +``` |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +### Ensure a module is removed |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | +bundle agent main |
| 68 | +{ |
| 69 | + appstreams: |
| 70 | + "postgresql" |
| 71 | + state => "removed"; |
| 72 | +} |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +### Reset a module to default |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +``` |
| 78 | +bundle agent main |
| 79 | +{ |
| 80 | + appstreams: |
| 81 | + "nodejs" |
| 82 | + state => "default"; |
| 83 | +} |
| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +## Attributes |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +The promise type supports the following attributes: |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +- `state` (optional) - Desired state of the module: `enabled`, `disabled`, `installed`, `removed`, `default`, or `reset` (default: `enabled`) |
| 91 | +- `stream` (optional) - Specific stream of the module to use. Set to `default` to use the module's default stream. |
| 92 | +- `profile` (optional) - Specific profile of the module to install. Set to `default` to use the module stream's default profile. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +## Requirements |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +- CFEngine 3.18 or later |
| 97 | +- Python 3 |
| 98 | +- DNF Python API (python3-dnf package) |
| 99 | +- DNF/YUM package manager (RHEL 8+, Fedora, CentOS 8+) |
| 100 | +- AppStream repositories configured |
