apaxy

This Puppet module installs and configures a HTTP file directory with the Apaxy theme.

Usage

Apaxy on the document root

The following puppet code will put Apaxy on the root document of a web server, replacing the default web site.

class{'apache':
  default_vhost     => false,
  default_ssl_vhost => true,
}
include apaxy
apaxy::theme{'default':
  manage_vhost => true,
}

Resources

apaxy

The apaxy class uses git to clone a local repository of Apaxy from a repository. An alternative repository or git revision can be specified by parameters.

Parameters

• install_dir: setting this will change where Apaxy is cloned to. The default is to use /var/opt/apaxy
• source: setting this will change the source URI used by git to clone Apaxy. The default is to use the Apaxy Github repository
• revision: This can be set to a branch name, tag or commit hash to specify which revision of the Apaxy repository is to be cloned. It defaults to the head of the master branch.

apaxy::theme

The apaxy::theme resource copies the clone from the local repository created by the apaxy class into a directory of a web site. Currently it applies the apaxy theme by putting a .htaccess file into the specified directory. These should really be in the site vhost.conf file, but the Puppetlabs Apache Module is not yet complete enough to do this. Fortunatly, when this changes the module will transparently change this over.

Parameters

• docroot: this is the toplevel root directory where the Apaxy theme is to be installed. The Apaxy theme will apply to this directory and all it's subdirectories. By default it will be applied to the document root specified by the docroot of the apache class from the Puppetlabs Apache Module, which is OS dependent.
• header_source: Setting this will replace the default header.html template with the file from the specified source. This source parameter is handled as the source attribute of the puppet file resource.
• footer_source: Setting this will replace the default footer.html template with the file from the specified source. This source parameter is handled as the source attribute of the puppet file resource.
• manage_vhost: If this is set to true, the apaxy::theme resource will create an apaxy::vhost which will deploy and enable the Apaxy site.

Custom vhost

There must be an AllowOverride all declaration in an Apaxy site's vhost.conf to enable the Apaxy theme. This should appear in the <Directory $docroot> block, where $docroot matches what's passed as the docroot parameter to apaxy::theme. This vhost.conf file should be managed by using the apache::vhost resource from the Puppetlabs Apache Module. An example apache::vhost declaration is given below:

class{'apache':
  default_vhost     => false,
  default_ssl_vhost => true,
}
include apaxy
apaxy::theme{'default': }
apache::vhost { 'default':
  port            => 80,
  docroot         => $docroot,
  access_log_file => 'apaxy_access.log',
  directories     => [
    {
      path           => $docroot,
      allow_override => ['all'],
    },
  ],
  priority        => '15',
  require => Apaxy::Theme['default'],
}

Dependencies

• Puppetlabs Apache Module
• Puppetlabs vcsrepo Module
• Git either install the required packages or use a Git Puppet Module

To Do

• Remove the need for a .htaccess file and incorporate the Apaxy configuration directly into the site vhost.conf file. Needs Alias and AliasMatch directives to be properly implemented into the Puppetlabs Apache Module, see #483 and it's corresponding pull request.

rspec-puppet-augeas

This module includes the Travis configuration to use rspec-puppet-augeas to test and verify changes made to files using the augeas resource available in Puppet. Check the rspec-puppet-augeas documentation for usage.

This will require a copy of the original input files to spec/fixtures/augeas using the same filesystem layout that the resource expects:

$ tree spec/fixtures/augeas/
spec/fixtures/augeas/
`-- etc
    `-- ssh
        `-- sshd_config
