What is it?

• Assembler is an application built on Puppet
• Performs a series of manual steps automatically
• Can be used alongside other Puppet classes

How Do We use it?

• A 15 line script which creates the assembler class
• An uploaded database to the database service: database.infrastructure.cumcweb.org
• The site to be uploaded in a Git repository with Assembler's SSH Key

Example

# Assembles the P&S Website
class assembler::ps {
  assembler::assemble { 'ps':
    site_name      => 'ps',
    site_location  => '/web/production-sites/php54/ps',
    vhost          => true,
    vhost_domain   => 'ps.migrate.cumcweb.org',
    vhost_root     => '/web/production-sites/php54/ps',
    drupal_version => '6',
    git_repo_url   => 'git@bitbucket.org:cumcwebservices/ps.git',
    git_revision   => '1.0.0',
    db_name        => 'd_ps',
    db_user        => 'd_ps',
    db_password    => 'd_ps',
    db_host        => 'db0.master.infrastructure.cumcweb.org'
  }
}

How Does It Work?

• A series of Puppet classes and defined resources
• Puppet skips steps that have already been performed which means the same class can be used for both launching a site and updating the site to the newest version
• The Intern will eventually help automate this process
  • The Intern will update the git repository
  • Assembler & Puppet will take care of everything else

Example

# Assembles the P&S Website
class assembler::ps {
  assembler::assemble { 'ps':
    site_name      => 'ps',
    site_location  => '/web/production-sites/php54/ps',
    vhost          => true,
    vhost_domain   => 'ps.migrate.cumcweb.org',
    vhost_root     => '/web/production-sites/php54/ps',
    drupal_version => '6',
    git_repo_url   => 'git@bitbucket.org:cumcwebservices/ps.git',
    git_revision   => '1.1.0',
    db_name        => 'd_ps',
    db_user        => 'd_ps',
    db_password    => 'd_ps',
    db_host        => 'db0.master.infrastructure.cumcweb.org'
  }
}
