p4api

Overview

This module manages the Perforce API installation on Linux systems.

Usage

At a minimum, you can accept the defaults and simply use include p4api to manage the Perforce API on the node.

You can override defaults using hiera, or by specifying parameters when declaring the p4api class. For example:

class { 'p4api':
  version => '14.3',
  osuser  => 'perforce',
  osgroup => 'perforce',
}

Parameters

  • version - the P4API version you want to manage. This defaults to 15.2.
  • base_download_url - the base URL from which the P4API distribution will be downloaded. This defaults to ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce.
  • dist_dir - the distribution directory (under the r${version} directory) that will contain the distribution tarball. This is calculated in the params class.
  • base_perforce_dir - the base directory where the P4API (and symlink) will be created. This defaults to /opt/perforce.
  • manage_base_dir - a boolean indicating whether or not this module should attempt to manage the base directory. This defaults to true. You might want to set this to false, for example, if some other Perforce product (like GitFusion) is also being managed on the system.
  • create_symlink - a boolean indicating whether or not the symlink should be created. This defaults to true.
  • symlink_name - the name of the symlink that will point to the actual P4API distribution directory. This defaults to p4api.
  • osuser - the OS user account that will own the P4API directory and symlink. This defaults to root. This module will NOT manage the user... that should be done separately.
  • osgroup - the OS group that will own the P4API directory and symlink. This defaults to root. This module will NOT manage the group... that should be done separately.
  • staging_dir - the directory where the P4API distribution will be downloaded. This defaults to /var/staging. The distribution will be downloaded into the p4api subdirectory.

Limitations

Currently, the module only supports Linux. A Windows version is being considered.
