USAGE - Basic management

• Install wordpress using your distro package, if available

    class { "wordpress": }
  

• Install the latest wordpress version from upstream site

    class { "wordpress":
      install             => "source",
    }
  

• Install the latest wordpress version from upstream site using puppi. You will have a 'puppi deploy wordpress' to deploy and update wordpress.

    class { "wordpress":
      install             => "puppi",
    }
  

• Install source from a custom url to a custom install_destination path. The following parameters apply both for "source" and "puppi" install methods. Puppi method may be used to manage deployment updates (given the $install_source is updated). By default install_source is set to upstream developer and install_destination to Web (App) server document root Pre and post installation commands may be already defined (check wordpress/manifests/params.pp) override them only if needed. Url_check and url_pattern are used for application checks, if monitor is enabled. Override only if needed.

    class { "wordpress":
      install             => "source",
      install_source      => "http://deploy.example42.com/wordpress/wordpress.tar.gz",
    }
  

• Remove wordpress

    class { "wordpress":
      absent => true
    }
  

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing wordpress configuration files

    class { "wordpress":
      audit_only => true
    }
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

• Use custom sources for main config file

    class { "wordpress":
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/wordpress/wp-config.php-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/wordpress/wp-config.php" ], 
    }
  

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { "wordpress":
      source_dir       => "puppet:///modules/lab42/wordpress/conf/",
      source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
    }
  

• Use custom template for main config file

    class { "wordpress":
      template => "example42/wordpress/wp-config.php.erb",      
    }
  

• Automaticallly include a custom subclass

    class { "wordpress":
      my_class => 'wordpress::example42',
    }
  

• Use custom options with existing template. Full list includes: DB_CHARSET, DB_COLLATE, AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, NONCE_KEY, AUTH_SALT, SECURE_AUTH_SALT, LOGGED_IN_SALT, NONCE_SALT, table_prefix, WPLANG, WP_DEBUG

    class { "wordpress":
      options => {
        'DB_CHARSET' => 'utf8',
        'DB_COLLATE' => 'utf8_general_ci',
        'WP_DEBUG'   => 'true',
      },
    }
  

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

• Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default) Note that this option requires the usage of Example42 puppi module

    class { "wordpress": 
      puppi    => true,
    }
  

• Activate puppi and use a custom puppi_helper template (to be provided separately with a puppi::helper define ) to customize the output of puppi commands

    class { "wordpress":
      puppi        => true,
      puppi_helper => "myhelper", 
    }
  

• Activate automatic monitoring (recommended, but disabled by default) This option requires the usage of Example42 monitor and relevant monitor tools modules

    class { "wordpress":
      monitor      => true,
      monitor_tool => [ "nagios" , "puppi" ],
    }
