Declaring a cluss multiple times

Support
1

Hi there

I'm a little confused on how to declare a puppet class multiple times with
foreman?

Let's look at the puppetlabs apache module [1] for example.

apache::vhost { 'first.example.com':
  port    => '80',
  docroot => '/var/www/first',
}

apache::vhost { 'second.example.com':
  port    => '80',
  docroot => '/var/www/second',
}

In my case I'm working on a logrotate module which should place multiple
files into /etc/logrotate.d/.
I'd love to configure these files based on hostgroups in foreman.

Is this even possible?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Sandro

ENC, it's how Puppet is written. You'll want to write a wrapper class,
place your defined resources within it, and call that from Foreman. There
are some examples on this mailing list if you go back a bit.

They are not multiple classes, they are multiple calls of a
parametrized class, no redefinitions of the class.

It's like a File resource that you call multiple times.
