mercy

A puppet module for installing the Mercy Flask application

Requirements

This puppet module assumes that you have:

• Working apache with a puppet service
• Working python 2.7 and pip
• Working postgres with a username, password, and database for mercy to use

Aside from that, the module has no dependencies.

Usage

class { 'mercy::application':
    environment    => 'dev|production',
    ensure         => 'absent|latest|MAJOR-MINOR',
    vhost_dir      => '/etc/apache/httpd/conf.d',
    apache_service => 'httpd',
    postgres_uri   => 'localhost',
    postgres_user  => 'mercy',
    postgres_pw    => 'mercy',
    postgres_db    => 'mercy'
}

If 'environment' is dev, then the mercy application will be installed via a tarball located in ./mercy/files/mercy-${ensure}.tar.gz. If 'environment' is production, then mercy will be installed via pip and ensured at the given version.

Events

This puppet module will notify your apache service whenever the vhost is modified, or the mercy application version is updated, since an apache graceful restart will be required in either case.
