USAGE - Basic management
-
Install dovecot with default settings
class { 'dovecot': }
-
Install a specific version of dovecot package
class { 'dovecot': version => '1.0.1', }
-
Disable dovecot service.
class { 'dovecot': disable => true }
-
Remove dovecot package
class { 'dovecot': absent => true }
-
Enable auditing without without making changes on existing dovecot configuration files
class { 'dovecot': audit_only => true }
-
Module dry-run: Do not make any change on all the resources provided by the module
class { 'dovecot': noops => true }
USAGE - Overrides and Customizations
-
Use custom sources for main config file
class { 'dovecot': source => [ "puppet:///modules/example42/dovecot/dovecot.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/example42/dovecot/dovecot.conf" ], }
-
Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir
class { 'dovecot': source_dir => 'puppet:///modules/example42/dovecot/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. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.
class { 'dovecot': template => 'example42/dovecot/dovecot.conf.erb', }
-
Automatically include a custom subclass
class { 'dovecot': my_class => 'example42::my_dovecot', }
USAGE - Example42 extensions management
-
Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)
class { 'dovecot': puppi => true, }

class { 'dovecot': puppi => true, puppi_helper => 'myhelper', }
-
