For detailed info about the logic and usage patterns of Example42 modules check the DOCS directory on Example42 main modules set.

USAGE - Basic management

  • Install foreman with default settings

    class { 'foreman': }
    
  • Install a specific version of foreman package

    class { 'foreman':
      version => '1.0.1',
    }
    
  • Disable foreman service.

    class { 'foreman':
      disable => true
    }
    
  • Remove foreman package

    class { 'foreman':
      absent => true
    }
    
  • Enable auditing without without making changes on existing foreman configuration files

    class { 'foreman':
      audit_only => true
    }
    

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

  • Use custom sources for main config file

    class { 'foreman':
      source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/foreman/foreman.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/foreman/foreman.conf" ], 
    }
    
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

    class { 'foreman':
      source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/foreman/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. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

    class { 'foreman':
      template => 'example42/foreman/foreman.conf.erb',
    }
    
  • Automatically include a custom subclass

    class { 'foreman':
      my_class => 'foreman::example42',
    }
    

USAGE - Example42 extensions management

  • Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)

    class { 'foreman':
      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 { 'foreman':
      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 { 'foreman':
      monitor      => true,
      monitor_tool => [ 'nagios' , 'monit' , 'munin' ],
    }
    
  • Activate automatic firewalling. This option requires the usage of Example42 firewall and relevant firewall tools modules

    class { 'foreman':       
      firewall      => true,
      firewall_tool => 'iptables',
      firewall_src  => '10.42.0.0/24',
      firewall_dst  => $ipaddress_eth0,
    }
