In this Git repository you can find the Puppet recipes used to configure Open Source Initiative (OSI)'s servers. As of now a single host (gpl.opensource.org, or gpl.o.o for short) is configured via Puppet and used for a number of mail-related services:
-
Postfix MTA, with countermeasures for SPAM (via spamassassin) and viruses (via Amavisd/ClamAV), with a set of authenticated SMTP users and mail aliases for @opensource.org users
-
Mailman mailing list server (integrated with Postfix)
-
Apache server (mostly for Mailman's web-based UI)
The Puppet recipes encode the functional part of the setup, separated into individual Puppet modules, but do not contain any configuration data. Rather, configuration data is stored into YAML files for Hiera.
Configuration data that is common to all machines (e.g., packaged goodies that
we want installed on every host) and is not private data is stored under
hieradata/defaults.yaml. That file also provide default configuration values
for host-specific data. Configuration data that is either host-specific or
should remain private (or both) should be stored under
hieradata/private/HOSTNAME.yaml, where hostname is the (not fully qualified)
host name, e.g., "gpl". Values in that file will override corresponding values
in defaults.yaml.
Note that hieradata/private is not checked into this Git repository (and
shouldn't be, for privacy reasons). On the actual hosts deployment hosts---and
in particular on gpl.o.o---the directory hieradata/private might be
checked-in different Git repository, for auditing reasons. For obvious reasons
that Git repository must remain OSI-private.
OSI does not use a agent/master setup, but rather a standalone setup, deploying
with puppet apply. The following convenience script are available starting
from this Git repository:
-
./test.sh: will do a dry-run deployment test based on the current status of the recipes. Doing so will show on screen what an actual deployment will do, including textual diffs to Puppet-managed files
-
./apply.sh: same as test.sh, but will do the actual deployment
-
./hiera-lookup.sh: will perform a Hiera lookup for a given configuration key, for the current host
You are welcome to use these Puppet recipes for your own needs. If you would like to, you are also welcome to contribute back your improvements to OSI, we will very much appreciate!
