I'm currently a bit in the same or at least similar situation as we try
to ensure that certain folders and their content of webapplications
always have the right permission. so our idea have been to use the file
resource on these folders, with recursive set to true, etc.
Speed doesn't matter that much, what matters more is the memory usage.
So this is our test-scenario:
--- foo.pp ---
$documentroot='/var/www/vhosts/path/to/joomla/installation/www'
file{ [ "$documentroot/administrator/backups",
"$documentroot/administrator/components",
"$documentroot/administrator/language",
"$documentroot/administrator/modules",
"$documentroot/administrator/templates",
"$documentroot/components",
"$documentroot/images",
"$documentroot/language",
"$documentroot/media",
"$documentroot/modules",
"$documentroot/plugins",
"$documentroot/templates",
"$documentroot/cache",
"$documentroot/administrator/cache" ]:
owner => 'user',
group => 'group',
mode => 0660,
recurse => true,
backup => false,
checksum => undef,
}
---
a run of just that manifest (so puppet foo.pp) can take up to:
VIRT RES
273m 193m
of Memory Usage.
which is for:
# du -sch administrator/backups administrator/components

# find administrator/backups administrator/components
administrator/language administrator/modules administrator/templates
components images language media modules plugins templates cache
administrator/cache | wc -l
4336
# ruby -version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [x86_64-linux]
in my opinion still "a bit" too much.
if I don't set recurse (and this is the way we go currently)
everything's fine. So it certainly has to do with recursing a file tree.
I'm running nearly latest head, at least #1965 [1] is applied.
So I'm waiting for 0.25! :) Would the standalone client already be
usable? So I could give feedback if the same manifest runs smoother.
thanks for all the work and cheers
