Usage

Setup system common elements

class { 'docommon' : }

Give the standard user a different username, set email and password (using hash), tell SSH to run on non-standard port

class { 'docommon':
  user => 'fred',
  user_email => 'fred@example.com',
  # hash of fred's password "admLn**"
  user_pass_hash => '',
  ssh_port => 15222,
}

Setup a couple of standard directories for storing apps (see dorepos::installapp) and GitHub as a known host

class { 'docommon' :
  webfile =>
  {
    '/var/www/git' => { },
    '/var/www/git/github.com' => { },
  },
  known_hosts => {
    'github.com' => {
      host_aliases => ['207.97.227.239','204.232.175.90'],
      type => 'ssh-rsa',
      key => "AAAAB3Nz=an=example=key==",
    },
  },
}

Tell docommon to use example42's firewall module instead of puppetlabs'

class { 'docommon' :
  firewall_module => 'example42',
}

Setup entries in /etc/ssh/config to make SSH access to other machines using non-standard SSH ports easy

class { 'docommon' :
  ssh_servers => [
    {
      'host' => 'our-svn',
      'hostname' => 'svn.example.com',
      'user' => 'svnuser',
      'port' => 522,
    },
    {
      'host' => 'our-backup',
      'hostname' => 'backup.example.com',
      'user' => $user,
      'port' => 15022,
    },
  ],
}

Create a directory or ensure that one exists, but don't overwrite symlinks

docommon::createdir { ['/tmp/one', '/tmp/one/two', '/tmp/one/two/three']:
  owner => 'web',
  group => 'www-data',
}
