NAME

Footprintless - A utility for managing systems with minimal installs

VERSION

version 1.29

SYNOPSIS

use Footprintless;

my $footprintless = Footprintless->new();

# Deploy initialize, start, and follow the log of the foo
$footprintless->overlay('dev.foo.overlay')->initialize();
$footprintless->service('dev.foo.service')->start();
$footprintless->log('dev.foo.logs.app')->follow();

DESCRIPTION

Footprintless is an automation framework with an application frontend for managing diverse software stacks in a consistent fashion. It provides a minimally invasive approach to configuration management. At its core, Config::Entities are used to define the whole system. Once defined, the entities are used by all of the Footprintless modules to decouple the environment from the action. The environment is defined by the entities used to create command options. Specifically:

hostname
ssh
sudo_username
username

Each module will have its own entities structure, see them for more details.

ENTITIES

An example system my consist of multiple environments, each defined in their own file:

./fooptintless
              /entities
                       /foo
                           /dev.pm
                           /qa.pm
                           /prod.pm

Each one of them would likely be rather similar, perhaps a variation of:

return {
    app => {
        deployment => {
            'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
            clean => [
                '/opt/foo/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/',
                '/opt/foo/tomcat/temp/',
                '/opt/foo/tomcat/webapps/',
                '/opt/foo/tomcat/work/'
            ],
            resources => {
                bar => 'com.pastdev:bar:war:1.0',
                baz => 'com.pastdev:baz:war:1.0'
            },
            to_dir => '/opt/foo/tomcat/webapps'
        },
        hostname => 'app.pastdev.com',
        logs => {
            catalina => '/opt/foo/tomcat/logs/catalina.out'
        },
        overlay => {
            'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
            base_dir => '/home/me/git/foo/base',
            clean => [
                '/opt/foo/tomcat/'
            ],
            deployment_coordinate => 'foo.dev.app.deployment',
            key => 'T',
            os => 'linux',
            resolver_coordinate => 'foo.dev',
            template_dir => '/home/me/git/foo/template',
            to_dir => '/opt/foo/tomcat'
        },
        sudo_username => 'tomcat',
        tomcat => {
            'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
            catalina_base => '/opt/foo/tomcat',
            http => {
                port => 20080
            },
            service => {
                'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
                action => {
                    'kill' => { command_args => 'stop -force' },
                    'status' => { use_pid => 1 }
                },
                command => '/opt/foo/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh',
                pid_file => '/opt/foo/tomcat/bin/.catalina.pid',
            },
            shutdown => {
                port => 20005,
                password => $properties->{'foo.dev.app.tomcat.shutdown.password'},
            },
            trust_store => {
                'Config::Entities::inherit' => ['hostname', 'sudo_username'],
                file => '/opt/foo/tomcat/certs/truststore.jks',
                include_java_home_cacerts => 1,
                password => $properties->{'foo.dev.app.tomcat.trust_store.password'},
            }
        }
    }
    web => {
        hostname => 'web.pastdev.com',
        logs => {
            error => '/var/log/httpd/error_log',
            access => '/var/log/httpd/access_log'
        }
        sudo_username => 'apache'
    }
}

Then when you decide to perform an action, the environment is just part of the coordinate:

fpl log foo.dev.app.tomcat.logs.catalina follow

fpl service foo.qa.app.tomcat.service status

fpl deployment foo.prod.app.deployment deploy --clean

If using the framework instead, the story is the same:

my $permission_denied = Footprintless->new()
    ->log('foo.prod.web.logs.error')
    ->grep(options => 'Permission denied');

CONSTRUCTORS

new(\%entity, %options)

Creates a new Footprintless factory. Available options are:

• config_dirs

  The root folder(s) for configuration entities. Defaults to the $FPL_CONFIG_DIRS environment variable if set, $FPL_HOME/config if not. config_dirs can be a scalar (one directory), or an array ref if there is more than one directory. If set via the $FPL_CONFIG_DIRS environment variable, and you need more than one directory, use a ; to delimit on windows, or a : to delimit on *nix (same as the $PATH variable).

• config_properties

  The properties file(s) used for placeholder replacement for configuration entities. Defaults to the $FPL_CONFIG_PROPS environment variable if set, $FPL_HOME/properties.pl if not. config_properties can be a scalar (one file), or an array ref if there is more than one directory. If set via the $FPL_CONFIG_PROPS environment variable, and you need more than one directory, use a ; to delimit on windows, or a : to delimit on *nix (same as the $PATH variable).

• command_options_factory

  Sets the command_options_factory for this instance. Must be an instance or subclass of Footprintless::CommandOptionsFactory.

• command_runner

  Sets the command_runner for this instance. Must be an a subclass of Footprintless::CommandRunner.

• entities

  If supplied, entities will serve as the configuration for this instance. All other configuration sources will be ignored. Must be either a hashref, or an instance of Config::Entities.

• fpl_home

  The root folder for footprintless configuration. Defaults to the $FPL_HOME environment variable if set, ~/.footprintless if not.
