##Overview

This module installs, manages and configures haproxy.

##Module Description

The module is based on stdmod naming standards version 0.9.0.

Refer to http://github.com/stdmod/ for complete documentation on the common parameters.

##Setup

###Resources managed by haproxy module

  • This module installs the haproxy package
  • Enables the haproxy service
  • Can manage all the configuration files (by default no file is changed)

###Setup Requirements

###Beginning with module haproxy

To install the package provided by the module just include it:

    include haproxy

The main class arguments can be provided either via Hiera (from Puppet 3.x) or direct parameters:

    class { 'haproxy':
      parameter => value,
    }

The module provides also a generic define to manage any haproxy configuration file:

    haproxy::conf { 'sample.conf':
      content => '# Test',
    }

##Usage

  • A common way to use this module involves the management of the main configuration file via a custom template (provided in a custom site module):

      class { 'haproxy':
    config_file_template => 'site/haproxy/haproxy.conf.erb',
  }

  • You can write custom templates that use setting provided but the config_file_options_hash paramenter

      class { 'haproxy':
    config_file_template      => 'site/haproxy/haproxy.conf.erb',
    config_file_options_hash  => {
      opt  => 'value',
      opt2 => 'value2',
    },
  }

  • Use custom source (here an array) for main configuration file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

      class { 'haproxy':
    config_file_source => [ "puppet:///modules/site/haproxy/haproxy.conf-${hostname}" ,
                            "puppet:///modules/site/haproxy/haproxy.conf" ],
  }

  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration directory, where present.

      class { 'haproxy':
    config_dir_source  => 'puppet:///modules/site/haproxy/conf/',
  }

  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration directory and purge all the local files that are not on the dir. Note: This option can be used to be sure that the content of a directory is exactly the same you expect, but it is desctructive and may remove files.

      class { 'haproxy':
    config_dir_source => 'puppet:///modules/site/haproxy/conf/',
    config_dir_purge  => true, # Default: false.
  }

  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir and define recursing policy.

      class { 'haproxy':
    config_dir_source    => 'puppet:///modules/site/haproxy/conf/',
    config_dir_recursion => false, # Default: true.
  }

  • Provide an hash of files resources to be created with haproxy::conf.

      class { 'haproxy':
    conf_hash => {
      'haproxy.conf' => {
        template => 'site/haproxy/haproxy.conf',
      },
      'haproxy.other.conf' => {
        template => 'site/haproxy/haproxy.other.conf',
      },
    },
  }

  • Do not trigger a service restart when a config file changes.

      class { 'haproxy':
    config_dir_notify => '', # Default: Service[haproxy]
  }
