Module Description

Adobe Experience Manager (also known as AEM, formerly CQ5) is an enterprise content management system offered by Adobe. This puppet module provides a set of tools to ease the tasks of installing, configuring and maintaining AEM instances.

Setup

What the AEM Puppet module affects:

  • AEM Installation files and directories
  • Service configuration and startup files
  • Listened-to ports

Note: This module modifies AEM installation directories and configuration files, overwriting any existing configurations. AEM configurations should be managed by Puppet, as unmanaged configuration files may cause unexpected behaviour.

Setup Requirements

AEM uses Ruby-based providers, so you must enable pluginsync. Java is also required to be installed on the system. Finally, due to the AEM platform being proprietary, this module does not provide the installation jar file; it must be provided by the consumer.

Beginning with AEM

A minimal AEM configuration is specified as:

aem::instance { 'aem' :
  source => '/path/to/aem-quickstart.jar',
}

For more options and detailed explanations, please see the Puppet AEM Wiki.

Define: aem::crx::package::file

This define is used to manage CRX Packages which are of type file.

Define: aem::osgi::config::file

Limitations

Dependencies

The aem::dispatcher class requires the Puppet Apache module; however since the use of this class is optional, this dependency is not declared explicitly.

OS Compatibility

This module has been tested on:

  • CentOS 7, 7.2
  • Ubuntu 12.04*, 14.04
  • Debian 7.8*, 8.2

See Known Issues

AEM Compatibility

This module has been tested with the following AEM versions:

  • 6.0
  • 6.1
  • 6.2

Minimum Ruby Requirement

Using the OSGi Configuration options require a Minimum ruby version of 1.9.x.

Warnings

It is up to the consumer to ensure that the correct version of Java is installed based on the AEM version. See AEM Documentation for compatibility.

Defining an AEM resource as absent will remove the instance from the system, regardless of whether or not it was originally managed by puppet.

Known Issues

Ubuntu 12.04 ships with Ruby 1.8.x; therefore the OSGi configurations acceptance tests fail.

There is an oddity with the aem::service support on Debian: even though specifying a valid status sends the correct parameters to the underlying service resource, the service is not enabled, nor do state changes occur correctly. Acceptance tests on those Virtual Machines fail for issues with service management. See issue #36.

Development

This module in its early stages, any updates or feature additions are welcome.

Please make sure you do not include any AEM Installer jars in PRs.

Running Acceptance Tests

I ask that prior to creating PR for a new feature, unit and acceptance tests exist to ensure it's operation. Running all of the AEM acceptance tests take time, so be prepared. To assist with acceptance testing, there are a number of Beaker configurations. For more information, see the Beaker project's documentation.

To run the AEM acceptance tests, for all features against all boxes:

$ spec/acceptance/runall_aem.sh

Use the Dispatcher w/o SSL

To run just the Dispatcher acceptance tests:

$ bundle exec rspec spec/accpetance/dispatcher_acceptance_spec.rb
