Using defined types in foreman to create instance

Vlados_Vlados · February 13, 2013, 5:29pm

Please help.
For example:
How i can pass parameters to defined puppet type *apache::vhost *and create
instance from foreman :

Definition: apache::vhost

define apache::vhost(
$port,
$docroot,
$template = ‘apache/vhost-default.conf.erb’,
$priority = ‘25’,
$servername = ‘’,
$serveraliases = ‘’,
$options = “Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews”,
$vhost_name = ‘*’
) {

include apache

Below is a pre-2.6.5 idiom for having a parameter default to the title,

but you could also just declare $servername = “$title” in the parameters

list and change srvname to servername in the template.

if $servername == ‘’ {
$srvname = $title
} else {
$srvname = $servername
}
case $operatingsystem {
‘centos’, ‘redhat’, ‘fedora’: { $vdir = ‘/etc/httpd/conf.d’
$logdir = ‘/var/log/httpd’}
‘ubuntu’, ‘debian’: { $vdir = ‘/etc/apache2/sites-enabled’
$logdir = ‘/var/log/apache2’}
default: { $vdir = ‘/etc/apache2/sites-enabled’
$logdir = ‘/var/log/apache2’}
}
file {
"${vdir}/${priority}-${name}.conf":
content => template($template),
owner => ‘root’,
group => ‘root’,
mode => ‘755’,
require => Package[‘httpd’],
notify => Service[‘httpd’],
}

}

Use hiera or foreman to fill in all those variables. You could auto
populate with defined types and puppet 3 and foreman to.

You can't instantiate resources (defined types, or native) over the
Puppet ENC interface. Maybe use create_resources instead, e.g.

define foo($a, $b) {
notify { "$title: got $a and $b": }
}

class createfoo($data){
create_resources(foo, $data)
}

Then in foreman for the createfoo class, set the data parameter to:

I have created a puppet module
(https://github.com/soumentrivedi/foreman_resources) to achieve this.

I have imported this module into my Foreman instance, performed the
required setup for Puppet Future Parser (mentioned in the Readme of the
module) and tested this Puppetlabs postgresql module. All looks ok and
works fine. I have given a sample yaml example as well for how to pass
values.

I am sure there might be many more slicker ways in achieving this, the
current solution works for us perfectly fine.

Feedback on the module is always welcome.
