Puppet-Elevator

Puppet module for Elevator install and configuration

Installation

Dependencies

puppet-elevator depends on pupetlabs/apt module, so first install step should be to install it if isn't already done:

puppet module install puppetlabs/apt

Then you're able to install the elevator module

cd /etc/puppet/modules/
git clone git://github.com/oleiade/puppet-elevator elevator

There you go, you're ready to include elevator class in your nodes where you want Elevator installed

Configuration

There is one class (elevator) that needs to be declared on all nodes managing any Elevator. These nodes are configured using the parameters of this class.

Using Parameterized Classes

Declaration example:

class { 'elevator':
        transport           => "tcp",
        port                => "4141",
        bind                => "0.0.0.0",
        db_storage_path     => "/var/lib/elevator",
        log_dir             => "/var/log/elevator",
        majordome_interval  => "2"
}

Parameters

The following lists all the class parameters the elevator class accepts.

• transport

  The transport layer for Elevator to use. tcp will be able to talk to remote clients, but each transactions costs. ipc will listen for clients requests on an unix socket: very, very fast, but local only.

• port

  The port to bind elevator server on to.

• bind

  The address to bind elevator to. Use 0.0.0.0 for enabling remote clients access.

• db_storage_path

  The filesystem endpoint where databases files will be stored

• log_dir

  The logs storage dir.

• majordome_interval

  The amount range when elevator will auto-unmount unused db since majordome_interval

Where the stuff goes

Nota: Most of these places are editable in Elevator config file

• Config file goes to /etc/elevator/elevator.conf
• Installs init.d script /etc/init.d/elevator-server
• Databases will be saved to db_storage_path
