Puppet PostgresQL management, Error: Puppet::Parser::AST:: - postgresql

Question

I'm using Vagrant and I'm trying to provision a VM using puppet. In the Vagrant file I configured VM db as follow:
config.vm.define "db" do |db|
db.vm.hostname = "db"
db.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.11.1.201", virtualbox__intnet: true
db.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
v.memory = 1024
end
db.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 22, host: 2221, id: 'ssh', auto_correct: true
db.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 5432, host: 2222
db.ssh.forward_agent = true
config.vm.provision :shell do |shell|
shell.inline = "mkdir -p /etc/puppet/modules;
puppet module install puppetlabs-postgresql"
end
config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
puppet.manifests_path = "puppet/manifests"
puppet.manifest_file = "site.pp"
puppet.module_path = "puppet/modules"
end
end
end
As you can see I set the download of the modules using a vagrant shell command before the puppet provisioner runs. In this way I have downloaded the puppetlabs-postgresql module from puppet labs. I do not want to manage my database by creating classes in my site.pp file located in /puppet/manifests/site.pp. I want to have a module call database in /puppet/modules/database. What I have done so far is create an init.pp file in /puppet/modules/database. Below is the content of my init.pp file :
class database {
class { 'postgresql::server':
ip_mask_allow_all_users => '0.0.0.0/0',
listen_addresses => '*',
ipv4acls => ['hostssl all johndoe 192.168.0.0/24 cert'],
postgres_password => 'TPSrep0rt!',
}
}
And then in my /puppet/manifests/site.pp file i have included the database class as below :
node 'db' {
include database
}
After the "vagrant up" command I get the error:
Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Could not find declared class postgresql::server at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-d1208595f982e4ac16b287f9bd398c89/database/manifests/init.pp:8 on node db.lan
==> db: Wrapped exception:

==> db: Error: Puppet::Parser::AST::Resource failed with error ArgumentError: Could not find declared class postgresql::server at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/modules-d1208595f982e4ac16b287f9bd398c89/database/manifests/init.pp:8 on node db.lan
What is the correct way to make use of the postgresql classes?

Answer 1

It is weird feeling to read your code, especially the class database part.
can you set hieradata template for puppet module postgresql
something likes:
postgresql::server:
ip_mask_allow_all_users: '0.0.0.0/0'
listen_addresses: '*'
ipv4acls:
- 'hostssl all johndoe 192.168.0.0/24 cert'
postgres_password: 'TPSrep0rt!'
in node define,
node 'db' {
include postgresql::server
}
manage the facters in pp file directly is not good practice.
