Description

This is the libreoffice module. It allows to install libreoffice core and to start it in listen mode as a service.

The service will be listening for connections on port 8140 and allows to produce documents by using the UNO/URE APIs.

Setup

What libreoffice affects

This module installs the specified LibreOffice version from DEB files.

LibreOffice will be installed under /opt/libreoffice and a link /opt/libreoffice will be created pointing to that folder.

An init script is deployed for starting LibreOffice as a service in listening mode.

A file with the locale environment variables configured for the specified locale is deploy under /etc/default and sourced from the init script.

LibreOffice minor versions substitute each other while packages of different major versions coexist. The module, however, does not remove LibreOffice packages; if desired, the packages related to a previous LibreOffice version could be removed by hand; for example to remove LibreOffice 4 packages issue the command:

sudo apt-get remove libreoffice4.*

Setup Requirements

This module requires the download_uncompress module.

Beginning with libreoffice

To use the module simply declare the class and specify LibreOffice version and locale to be used:

class {'libreoffice':
     majorver => '5',
     minorver => '4',
     incr     => '6',
     subincr  => '2',
     locale   => 'it_IT',
}

Usage

The parameters of the class allow to specify the LibreOffice version. It is characterized by three numbers: major, minor, increment. A fourth number (subincrement) need also to be provided: it should be specified according to the fourth number visibile as folder name after uncompressing the distribution file.

Reference

The documentation can be generated by puppet-strings in the doc folder of the module by issuing the command:

puppet strings

inside the module directory.
