Which puppet module should I include for a managed database mysql::client using netmanagers/bareos?

Question

When I include the following in my nodes.pp:

 class {'bareos':
      ...
       manage_database => true,
      ...

I get the following error:

==> bareOSdirector: Error: Could not find class mysql::client for bareosdirector on node bareosdirector
==> bareOSdirector: Error: Could not find class mysql::client for bareosdirector on node bareosdirector

There seem to be quite a few mysql modules out there, does anyone have an idea of which one was intended to be a dependency of this library?

I'm aware that netmanagers bareos is unmaintained.

Answer 1

Have you fulfilled all dependencies (puppetlabs/stdlib, example42/puppi, example42/firewall and example42/monitor)?

AFAIK netmanagers/bareos is based on a netmanagers/puppet-bacula module which requires "Puppetlabs/mysql" (see https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/mysql)

Answer 2

Personally I would start using a dependency manager such as R10K or Librarian-Puppet to keep track of your modules and install whatever dependencies necessary for your modules to run.

To use your module in librarian-puppet, all you would need to do is add the following line to your Puppetfile:

mod 'netmanagers/bareos'

and let librarian-puppet handle resolving and installing dependencies for both that specific module and all of the others throughout the chain (e.g. the dependencies of example42/monitor).
