For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules check the DOCS directory on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Basic management

  • Install bind with default settings

      class { 'bind': }
    
  • Install a specific version of bind package

      class { 'bind':
        version => '1.0.1',
      }
    
  • Disable bind service.

      class { 'bind':
        disable => true
      }
    
  • Remove bind package

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

      class { 'bind':
        audit_only => true
      }
    

USAGE - Create a zone

  • Create a zone as master.

      bind::zone { 'example.com':
        zone_serial => 1,
      }
    
  • Create a zone as slave.

      bind::zone { 'example.com':
        zone_type => 'slave',
      }
    
  • Explicitly set zone name.

      bind::zone { 'my-zone':
        zone_name => 'example.com',
        ...
      }
    
  • Set TTL for zone.

      ...
      zone_ttl => '3600000',
      ...
    
  • Set contact email address for zone. Default is root.${zone_name}. Don't forget final point.

      ...
      zone_contact => 'root.localhost.',
      ...
    
  • Set time period for zone.

      ...
      zone_refresh   => '604800',
      zone_retry     => '86400',
      zone_expire    => '2419200',
      zone_neg_cache => '604800',
      ...
    
  • Set name server for zone. Default is ns.${zone_name}.

      ...
      zone_ns => 'ns00',
      ...
    

USAGE - Record

  • Add an A record into zone (example.com). www.example.com -> 192.168.0.10. This will add entry like "www IN A 192.168.0.10".

      bind::record { 'www':
         zone   => 'example.com.',
         target => '192.168.0.10',
      }
    
  • There is some wrapper for A, wildcard(*), AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME and PTR entry. See source for more informations.

      bind::a
      bind::wildcard
      bind::aaaa
      bind::mx
      bind::txt
      bind::srv
      bind::cname
      bind::ptr
    

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

  • Use custom sources for main config file

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

      class { 'bind':
        source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/bind/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 { 'bind':
        template => 'example42/bind/bind.conf.erb',
      }
    
  • Automatically include a custom subclass

      class { 'bind':
        my_class => 'bind::example42',
      }
    

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

  • Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)

      class { 'bind':
        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 { 'bind':
        puppi        => true,
        puppi_helper => 'myhelper',
      }
    
  • Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default). This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules

      class { 'bind':
        monitor      => true,
        monitor_tool => [ 'nagios' , 'monit' , 'munin' ],
      }
    
  • Activate automatic firewalling. This option requires the usage of Example42 firewall and relevant firewall tools modules

      class { 'bind':
        firewall      => true,
        firewall_tool => 'iptables',
        firewall_src  => '10.42.0.0/24',
        firewall_dst  => $ipaddress_eth0,
      }
