puppet-clientbucket-restore

Ruby script for interactively restoring files from a Puppet client's clientbucket.

If you've accidently overwritten, with Puppet, a file you meant to keep, then this script can get it back. The real filebucket stuff provided by Puppetlabs requires the md5 of the old file you want to restore. This script goes and looks for all the available versions of a file, and allows you to diff, view, or restore one or more of these older versions.

Run the script like this:

clientbucket.rb -t /path/to/file -c path/to/client/bucket

Where /path/to/file is the file on the system that you're looking for old versions of. If you run it by itself, it will return the following help screen:

Usage: clientbucket.rb -t target_path -c clientbucket_path
    -t, --target_path target_path    path of the file to restore
    -c clientbucket_path,            where to restore from. Defaults to /var/lib/puppet/clientbucket
        --clientbucket_path
    -h, --help  

The script runs interactively and prompts you for what you want to do. An example:

# clientbucket.rb -t /some/test/file
