Dependencies

The Database should be postgres >= 9.1

Modules:

  • reidmv/yamlfile (REQUIRED)
    • voxpupuli/puppet-filemapper 1.1.3 - Future versions not supported at present.
  • puppetlabs/stdlib (REQUIRED)
  • puppetlabs/postgresql (Optional)
    • puppetlabs/apt (postgresql)
    • puppetlabs/concat (postgresql)
  • puppetlabs/vcsrepo (Optional)
  • puppetlabs/tftp (Optional)
    • puppetlabs/xinetd (tftp)
  • maestrodev/wget (Optional/tftp)
  • puppet/archive (Optional)
  • If you want to set up PostgreSQL config:
    - `include 'posgresql::server'` [puppetlabs/postgresql]
  • If you want to compile the Microkernel (on Fedora/CentOS/RHEL)
    • puppetlabs/vcsrepo module
  • If you want to set up TFTP boot files
    • include 'wget'
    • class { '::tftp': } [puppetlabs/tftp]
  • If you want to download/extract a microkernel,
    • Do not set microkernel_url to undef. (Default : puppetlabs precompiled)
    • puppet/archive module

Notes

The dependency on reidmv/yamlfile is causing issues in Puppet 6. This will require a different solution.

Shiro Authentication is not fully tested. See notes in lib/puppet/provider/razo_rest.rb ?

SSL/TLS is not fully tested.

Usage

It is highly recommended to put secret keys in Hiera-eyaml and use automatic parameter lookup

Make sure to include all dependencies as per above.

Also see the examples/profile.pp file for an example on how to set up dependencies. 

  class { 'razor':
    db_hostname => '127.0.0.1',
    db_password => 'notasecretpassword',
    server_http_port => '8150',
  }

Unfortunately Puppet does not support autorequire for classes. Hence a dependency for each of the custom types must be set to Class['razor']. Class['razor'] -> razor_broker...

razor_broker { 'name':
  require => Class['razor'],
  ...
}

Razor_repo { 
  require => Class['razor'],
  ...
}

Note: you will probably need to run it twice anyway as the razor server service is very slow to start. API calls will only start working a few minutes after the service starting. [suggestions welcome to fix that]

Reference

Classes

razor

class { '::razor':
    compile_microkernel   => false,
    db_hostname           => $::fqdn,
    db_database           => 'razor',
    db_user               => 'razor',
    db_password           => 'notsecret',
}

This is the main class that can install client, server, database and tftp server (with microkernel download). Additionally, on CentOS, this class can also compile the microkernel.

Razor API

class { '::razor::api':
    
}

This class will set up configuration for the defined types. These use the REST API provided by the Razor Server.

Task

razor::task { 'task1':
  module => 'mymodule1'
}

Hook Type

razor::hook_type { 'type1':
  module => 'mymodule1'
}

Broker

razor::broker { 'broker1':
  module => 'mymodule1'
}

Types

razor_broker

razor_broker { 'puppet-dev':
  ensure        => 'present',

  configuration => {
    'server'      => 'puppet',
    'environment' => 'dev'
  },

  • ensure: The basic property that the resource should be in. Valid values are present, absent.
  • broker_type: The broker type
  • configuration: The broker configuration (Hash)
  • provider: The specific backend to use for this razor_broker resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform. Available providers are:
    • rest: REST provider for Razor broker

razor_policy

razor_policy { 'install_ubuntu_on_hypervisor':
  ensure        => 'present',

  • iso_url: The URL of the ISO to download
  • url: The URL of a mirror (no downloads)
  • task: The default task to perform to install the OS
  • provider: The specific backend to use for this razor_repo resource. You will seldom need to specify this --- Puppet will usually discover the appropriate provider for your platform. Available providers are:

  • configuration: A hash with hook configuration.

Compatibility

  • compile_microkernel only works on RHEL/CentOS/Fedora (Razor Microkernel constraint)
  • enable_server requires Postgres >= 9.1

This module has been tested using Beaker with Puppet 4.3.2 (Ruby 2.1.8) on:

  • Ubuntu 12.04 (complete without microkernel compilation) - Razor Server 1.0.0 to 1.5.0
  • Ubuntu 14.04 (complete without microkernel compilation) - Razor Server 1.0.0 to 1.5.0
  • CentOS 6.6 (complete without microkernel compilation) - Razor Server 1.0.0 to 1.5.0
  • CentOS 7.2 (complete with microkernel compilation) - Razor Server 1.4.0 (!) to 1.5.0

Testing

The use of rvm is encouraged to simulate different Ruby environments.

Setup: gem install bundler && bundle install --binstubs

Spec test

 rake test

Acceptance Testing

This requires some work... helpers are no longer compatible with Puppet APT repository

PREVIOUSLY - Confirmed working on Ruby 2.4.5

rake beaker:ubuntu-12-04

Notes:

  • Possible issues with bundler: gem uninstall bundler && gem install bundler -v 1.10.6 [Vagrant 1.8.1]
  • Possible issue with vagrant "unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders": plugin install vagrant-vbguest
