With the option to create and modify files on Linux box, we should be able to change or create configuration for services, modify default environment, configure networking, configure ssh authorized_keys for a given user to name just a few examples. On top of that, this resource can be used to deploy and configure web sites and other, less frequently used applications. In this article, we will take a look at few example definitions that take advantage of nxFile resource. We will also look at one pitfall that may be important while using it and a way to walk around it. Last but not least we will take a look at one bug and a way to fix it.
