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 bind with default settings

  class { 'bind': }

• Install a specific version of bind package

  class { 'bind':
    version => '1.0.1',
  }

• Disable bind service.

  class { 'bind':
    disable => true
  }

• Remove bind package

  class { 'bind':
    absent => true
  }

• Enable auditing without without making changes on existing bind configuration files

  class { 'bind':
    audit_only => true
  }

USAGE - Create a zone¶ ↑

• Create a zone as master.

  bind::zone { 'example.com':
    zone_serial => 1,
  }

• Create a zone as slave.

  bind::zone { 'example.com':
    zone_type => 'slave',
  }

• Explicitly set zone name.

  bind::zone { 'my-zone':
    zone_name => 'example.com',
    ...
  }

• Set TTL for zone.

  ...
  zone_ttl => '3600000',
  ...

• Set contact email address for zone. Default is root.${zone_name}. Don’t forget final point.

  ...
  zone_contact => 'root.localhost.',
  ...

• Set time period for zone.

  ...
  zone_refresh   => '604800',
  zone_retry     => '86400',
  zone_expire    => '2419200',
  zone_neg_cache => '604800',
  ...

• Set name server for zone. Default is ns.${zone_name}.

  ...
  zone_ns => 'ns00',
  ...

USAGE - Record¶ ↑

• Add an A record into zone (example.com). www.example.com -> 192.168.0.10. This will add entry like “www IN A 192.168.0.10”.

  bind::record { 'www':
     zone   => 'example.com.',
     target => '192.168.0.10',
  }

• There is some wrapper for A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME and PTR entry. See source for more informations.

  bind::a
  bind::aaaa
  bind::mx
  bind::txt
  bind::srv
  bind::cname
  bind::ptr
  

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations¶ ↑

• Use custom sources for main config file

  class { 'bind':
    source => [ "puppet:///modules/lab42/bind/bind.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/lab42/bind/bind.conf" ],
  }

• Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

  class { 'bind':
    source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/lab42/bind/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 { 'bind':
    template => 'example42/bind/bind.conf.erb',
  }

• Automatically include a custom subclass

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

USAGE - Example42 extensions management¶ ↑

• Activate puppi (recommended, but disabled by default)

  class { 'bind':
    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 { 'bind':
    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 { 'bind':
    monitor      => true,
    monitor_tool => [ 'nagios' , 'monit' , 'munin' ],
  }

• Activate automatic firewalling. This option requires the usage of Example42 firewall and relevant firewall tools modules

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