counsyl/memcached — version 0.9.3 Mar 31st 2015

memcached

This Puppet module provides classes for managing Memcached and related packages.

Classes

memcached

By default, inclusion of this class installs memcached and enables its service:

include memcached

Further customization may be done via class parameters, for example to purge the package, set the ensure parameter to absent:

class { 'memcached':
  ensure => 'absent',
}

To prevent the memcached service from starting on boot, set the service_enable parameter to false:

class { 'memcached':
  service_enable => false,
}

memcached::config

By default, the memcached class does not modify the configuration file used by Linux platforms. Customizations of this file are done with the memcached::config class. For example, to allow connections from beyond the localhost you'd set the listen parameter:

class { 'memcached::config':
  listen => '0.0.0.0',
}

To change the maximum amount of memory used by memcached to one gigabyte (1024 megabytes), you'd set the cachesize parameter:

class { 'memcached::maxsize':
  cachesize => 1024,
}

The full list of configuration parameters, which correspond to directly to the memcached command-line options, are:

  • port
  • user
  • cachesize
  • maxconn
  • listen
  • logfile
  • maxsize

memcached::devel

Installs the memcached development headers package for the platform.

memcached::iptables

Sets up a firewall rule allowing external access to the Memcached instance -- use of this class requires the puppetlabs-firewall module and configuring the listen parameter in memcached::config.

memcached::lib

Installs the libMemcached library package.

memcached::lib::devel

Installs the libMemcached development headers package.

memcached::python

Installs the system package for python-memcached.
