puppetlabs apache and extra conf.d files

[Arnau]

Hi all,

Puppetlab apache module [1] by default purges everything under /etc/httpd/conf.d . If you want to add an extra file, you must use apache::vhost. 

I'm writing a module for managin thruk. The trhuk rpm packge provides a apache conf file (/etc/httpd/conf.d/thruk.conf). At this point I'm wondering what is the best way for "translating" the conf file provided by the rpm into a apache:vhost.

Is there any automatic way for writing the apache::vhost from a http conf file (something like puppet resource ... ? )

How do other people deal with this?

TIA,

Arnau

The apache module contains many mod manifests [1] that use file
resources with templates [2] that you can pattern your code after. No
need to use apache::vhost at all.

Hi Hunter,

thanks for your answer.

I don't see how to do what you suggest, could you please give me a short example?

(I was using apache::custom_config as a workaround)

TIA,

Could/should be as simple as

class thruk {

  package { 'thruck':

    ensure => 'installed',

  }

  file { '/etc/httpd/conf.d/thruk.conf':

    ensure => 'file',

    require => Package['thruk'],

  }

}

Salt to taste.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

But with this file + apache doing a directory purge on each run, isn't it going to be add/remove the file in every run?

(custom_config is working like a charm)

TIA,

Arnau

No, because puppet is now "managing" the file, it won't be included in the purge.
