[Puppet Users] Enviroment variables or Java startup -D arguments
Hi All,
I have been searching around for a few hours now, but don''t seem to be
using the correct search terms for the answer I need. So please forgive me
if this is a question that has been answered 100 times :( I have seen many
questions regarding enviroment variables, but non seem to be related.
Again, I may be misunderstanding the vocabulary)
I am setting up
SCM-Manager<https://bitbucket.org/sdorra/scm-manager/wiki/Home>(GIT/Mercurial
tomcat server). It does the job for development.
However, SCM-Manager requires the environment variable "SCM_HOME" to
be set
to save the files to. I understand that a Puppet agent executes with a
minimal shell. How can I make Puppet aware of this var?
This <https://bitbucket.org/sdorra/scm-manager/wiki/faq> page does offer a
couple of other options (I know it offers a 3rd option, to modify the
properties file, but this seems a little like cheating). The other option I
tried was to add a "-DSCM_HOME=/myhome" to the start up script for
tomcat,
but I don''t really understand how it works, and how I would do this.
The
key seems to be *hiera. *But I''m unsure exactly how this works, and
given
the Tomcat and Java modules I''m using.
My modules are:
seteam-tomcat <https://github.com/puppetlabs-seteam/puppet-module-tomcat>
for
tomcat
this requires
puppetlabs-java <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-java>
and this itself requires
puppetlabs/stdlib <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib>
My code seems rather simple (I know I''m probably doing dependencies
completely wrong, but I''m just starting to be able to write me own
scripts).
init.pp (running inside a Vagrant box for ease)
class initscm {>
> include tomcat
>
> tomcat::war {''scm'':
>
> source =>
''/vagrant/software/war/scm-webapp-1.32.war'',

Package[''java'']

File[''/etc/environment'']

Many thanks for your time,
Tim

[Puppet Users] Re: Enviroment variables or Java startup -D arguments
I apologise, and have though this through, and it was a silly question. This isn''t a Puppet problem at all. And sorry for the horrible script. Got a much nicer one now (using defines). Sorry for the noise. Tim ps: - I can either modify the startup service script - add the var to /etc/environment - add the var to a /etc/profile.d/ file Just making sure to notify the Service afterwards. (or reboot maybe for /etc/environment) On Tuesday, July 23, 2013 9:08:28 PM UTC+1, Tim Fletcher wrote:> > Hi All, > > I have been searching around for a few hours now, but don''t seem to be > using the correct search terms for the answer I need.
