Install and configure the Apache NiFi Toolkit, a CLI for the Apache NiFi dataflow automation software.
This module will download the Apache Toolkit NiFi tarball to
/var/tmp/
.
The tarball will be unpacked to /opt/nifi-toolkit
by default.
NiFi requires Java Runtime Environment. Nifi 1.14.0 runs on Java 8 or Java 11.
When installing on local infrastructure, consider download the distribution tarballs, validate them with the Apache distribution keys, and store it on a local repository. Adjust the configuration variables to point to your local repository. The NiFi download page also documents how to verify the integrity and authenticity of the downloaded files.
Add dependency modules to your puppet environment:
- puppet/archive
- puppetlabs/stdlib
- camptocamp/systemd
To download and install NiFi Toolkit, include the module. This will
download nifi toolkit and unpack it under
/opt/nifi-toolkit/nifi-toolkit-<version>
.
include nifi_toolkit
To host the file locally, add a nifi_toolkit::download_url variable for the module.
nifi_toolkit::download_url: "http://repo.example.com/nifi/1.14.0/nifi-toolkit-1.14.0-bin.tar.gz"
Please keep nifi_toolkit::download_url
,
nifi_toolkit::download_checksum
and nifi_toolkit::version
in sync.
The URL, checksum and version should match. Otherwise, Puppet will
become confused.
This module is under development, and therefore somewhat light on functionality.
In the Development section, tell other users the ground rules for contributing to your project and how they should submit their work.
