Puppet Drupal Box

Description

Development server configuration managed using Puppet. Currently for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (and possible newer versions).

Used components

• varnish 3 (port 80)
• apache 2.2 (port 8080) with mod_vhost_alias
• latest php-fpm 5.3 (currently 5.3.27, from http://packages.dotdeb.org squeeze)
• percona server 5.5
• memcached
• php-apc
• drush 7.x-5.9
• ntpdate (executed daily from cron)
• postfix, delivering all mails (catch-all) to the 'localmail' user.

Usage

Go to the VM or server you want to provision and run the following commands.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --yes install git
git clone git://github.com/morpht/puppet-drupal-box.git /tmp/puppet-drupal-box
sudo mv /tmp/puppet-drupal-box /opt/
cd /opt/puppet-drupal-box/
git submodule update --init

sudo puppet apply --modulepath=/opt/puppet-drupal-box/modules -e 'include drupal_sandbox'

This solution uses mod_vhost_alias, that means you can host multiple sites without reconfiguring apache. The default VirtualDocumentRoot is "/srv/www/vhost/%0". Say your dev site FQDN is drupal.example.com, your files go under /srv/www/vhost/drupal.example.com

If you want a different VirtualDocumentRoot, you can specify yours:

sudo puppet apply --modulepath=/opt/puppet-drupal-box/modules -e "class { 'drupal_sandbox': virtual_document_root => '/srv/www/%0' }"

Notes

• Find your mysql (randomly generated) root password in /etc/mysql/root-passwd.

• Create /srv/www/vhost/ and change the owner to you / vagrant / ubuntu user

• Parameters, especially memory settings for the services based on availale memory are under /opt/puppet-drupal-box/modules/drupal_sandbox/manifests/params.pp. Change as you need and run puppet apply again.

Examples

Create info.example.com virtualhost with phpinfo().

sudo mkdir -p /srv/www/vhost/info.example.com
echo '<?php phpinfo(); ?>' > /tmp/index.php
sudo mv /tmp/index.php /srv/www/vhost/info.example.com/

Make info.example.com resolve to your server and point your browser at http://info.example.com
