Made by Alessandro Franceschi / Lab42

Official site: http://www.example42.com

Official git repository: http://github.com/example42/puppet-apache

Released under the terms of Apache 2 License.

This module requires functions provided by the Example42 Puppi module.

For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules read README.usage on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Module specific usage

  • Install apache with a custom httpd.conf template and some virtual hosts

       class { 'apache':
         template => 'example42/apache/httpd.conf.erb',
       }
    
       apache::vhost { 'mysite':
         docroot  => '/path/to/docroot',
         template => 'example42/apache/vhost/mysite.com.erb',
       }
    
  • Install mod ssl

      include apache::ssl
    
  • Manage basic auth users (Here user joe is created with the $crypt_password on the defined htpasswd_file

      apache::htpasswd { 'joe':
        crypt_password => 'B5dPQYYjf.jjA',
        htpasswd_file  => '/etc/httpd/users.passwd',
      }
    
  • Manage custom configuration files (created in conf.d, source or content can be defined)

      apache::dotconf { 'trac':
        content => template("site/trac/apache.conf.erb")
      }
    
  • Add other listening ports (a relevant NameVirtualHost directive is automatically created)

      apache::listen { '8080': }
    
  • Add other listening ports without creating a relevant NameVirtualHost directive

      apache::listen { '8080':
        $namevirtualhost = false,
      }
    
  • Add an apache module and manage its configuraton

      apache::module { 'proxy':
        templatefile => 'site/apache/module/proxy.conf.erb',
      }
    
  • Install mod passenger

      include apache::passenger
    

USAGE - Basic management

  • Install apache with default settings

      class { "apache": }
    
  • Disable apache service.

      class { "apache":
        disable => true
      }
    
  • Disable apache service at boot time, but don't stop if is running.

      class { "apache":
        disableboot => true
      }
    
  • Remove apache package

      class { "apache":
        absent => true
      }
    
  • Enable auditing without making changes on existing apache configuration files

      class { "apache":
        audit_only => true
      }
    
  • Install apache with a specific version

      class { "apache":
        version =>  '2.2.22'
      }
    

USAGE - Default server management

  • Simple way to manage default apache configuration

      apache::vhost { 'default':
          docroot             => '/var/www/document_root',
          server_name         => false,
          priority            => '',
          template            => 'apache/virtualhost/vhost.conf.erb',
      }
    
  • Using a source file to create the vhost

      apache::vhost { 'default':
        source      => 'puppet:///files/web/default.conf',
        template    => '',
      }
    

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

  • Use custom sources for main config file

        source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/apache/apache.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/apache/apache.conf" ],
      }
    
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

      class { "apache":
        source_dir       => "puppet:///modules/lab42/apache/conf/",
        source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
      }
    
  • Use custom template for main config file

      class { "apache":
        template => "example42/apache/apache.conf.erb",      
      }
    
  • Define custom options that can be used in a custom template without the need to add parameters to the apache class

      class { "apache":
        template => "example42/apache/apache.conf.erb",    
        options  => {
          'LogLevel' => 'INFO',
          'UsePAM'   => 'yes',
        },
      }
    
  • Automaticallly include a custom subclass

      class { "apache:"
        my_class => 'apache::example42',
      }

    aliases: 'www.mysite.com'
apache::htpasswd_hash:
  'myuser':
    crypt_password: 'password1'
    htpasswd_file: '/etc/apache2/users.passwd'

      class { "apache": 
        puppi    => true,
      }
    
  • Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands

      class { "apache":
        puppi        => true,
        puppi_helper => "myhelper", 
      }
