We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Documentation

brainsware/trafficserver — version 1.0.6 Dec 5th 2016

Puppet Module for Apache Traffic Server

manage installation and configuration of Apache Traffic Server.

Currently supported modes: Forward, Reverse and mixed. Supported Platforms: Debian/Ubuntu, FreeBSD: partially. Solaris/Illumos: untested.

It allows to separately configure plugins, SSL certs and Remap Rules. Storage is configured globally.

This plugin assumes that you have current version of Apache Traffic Server in your packagemanager's repositories. See my ppa for a current version for all Ubuntu LTSes.

Documentation

Install Traffic Server

include trafficserver

Installing Traffic Server, enabling SSL.

class { 'trafficserver':
  ssl => true,
}

Install it in some weird prefix:

class { 'trafficserver':
  prefix     => '/opt/es',
  sysconfdir => '/etc/es/trafficserver',
}

Install it, assign a couple of disks:

include ::trafficserver
trafficserver::storage { '/dev/sda': }
trafficserver::storage { '/dev/sdb': }

Maybe you would prefer to keep cache in a directory on one disk:

trafficserver::storage { '/var/cache/trafficserver': }

Plugins

Configure gzip plugin:

trafficserver_plugin { 'gzip.so':
  arguments => '/etc/trafficserver/gzip.config'
}

Configure stats_over_http plugin. Really, this should be some default:

trafficserver_plugin { 'stats_over_http.so': }

Configure balancer plugin. Don't use plugin class. Configure a couple of balancer map:

Remap

Configure a couple of remaps:

trafficserver::remap { 'example.com'
  from => 'http://example.com',
  to   => 'http://backend-web01',
}
trafficserver::remap { 'example.org
  from => 'http://example.org,
  to => 'http://backend-web21',
}
trafficserver::remap { 'example.net':
  from => 'http://example.net',
  to   => 'http://backend-web42',
}

trafficserver::remap { 'rev example.com':
  type => reverse_map,
  from => 'http://backend-web01',
  to   => 'http://example.com',
}
trafficserver::remap { 'rev example.org':
  type => reverse_map,
  from => 'http://backend-web21',
  to   => 'http://example.org',
}
trafficserver::remap { 'rev example.org':
  type => reverse_map,
  from => 'http://backend-web42'
  to   => 'http://example.net',
}

trafficserver::remap { 'redirect co.uk':
  type => redirect,
  from => 'http://example.co.uk',
  to   => 'http://example.com/uk',
}

SSL

Similarily to remap, we can can setup multiple SSL virtual hosts.

trafficserver_ssl_multicert { 'example.com':
  ssl_cert_name => 'www.example.com.crt',
  ssl_key_name  => 'www.example.com.key',
}
trafficserver_ssl_multicert { 'mail.example.com':
  ssl_cert_name => 'mail.example.com.crt',
  ssl_key_name  => 'mail.example.com.key',
}

Filters

Using trafficserver::remap::definefilter we can define filters:

trafficserver::remap::definefilter { 'title for disable_delete_purge':
  name   => 'disable_delete_purge',
  filter => [
    '@action=deny',
    '@method=delete',
    '@method=purge',
  ],
}

trafficserver::remap::definefilter { 'internal_only':
  filter => [
    '@action=allow',
    '@src_ip=192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254',
    '@src_ip=10.0.0.1-10.0.0.254',
  ],
}

…and then reuse them:

trafficserver::remap { 'activate delete_purge':
  activatefilter => 'disable_delete_purge',
  order          => -1,
}

trafficserver::remap { 'foo to bar':
  from => 'http://foo.example.com/',
  to   => 'http://bar.example.com/',
}

trafficserver::remap { 'map admin (internal only)':
  activatefilter   => 'internal_only',
  from             => 'http://www.example.com/admin',
  to               => 'http://internal.example.com/admin',
  deactivatefilter => 'internal_only',
}

trafficserver::remap { 'example':
  from => 'http://www.example.com/',
  to   => 'http://internal.example.com/',
}
