Puppet module: postfix¶ ↑

This is a puppet module for postfix based on the common credativ puppet modules layout (github.com/credativ/puppet-module-template)

Features¶ ↑

The module suupports:

• Create a main.cf from a template with support for some of the most common options or copy the main.cf from a specified config_source

• Initial creation of postfix instances (www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html)

• Manage aliases

Usage¶ ↑

Most common use case for the module is to just include it and configure it in the hiera backend.

So including it via the following line of code or in a ENC declaration (apart from proper configuration in hiera or top-scope variables) is usually enough:

class { 'postfix': }

The module is able to create configuration itself, it just needs appropriate parameters. See the documentation for the main manifest for an explanation of the parameters.

Apart from this specifying a config_source works as well.

class { 'postfix':
    config_source => 'puppet:///files/foo/postfix.conf'
}
