Transferred from Inkling

This Puppet module was originally authored by Inkling Systems. The maintainer preferred that Puppet Labs take ownership of the module for future improvement and maintenance as Puppet Labs is using it in the PuppetDB module. Existing pull requests and issues were transferred over, please fork and continue to contribute here instead of Inkling. Previously: https://github.com/inkling/puppet-postgresql

Puppet module for PostgreSQL resources

This module provides the following defined resource types for managing postgres:

postgresql::initdb
postgresql::db
postgresql::role
postgresql::database_user (just for clarity; users are roles in postgres)
postgresql::database_grant

And the fallback, analogous to exec resources, only for SQL statements:

postgresql::psql

Basic usage

Manage a PostgreSQL server with sane defaults (login via sudo -u postgres psql):

include postgresql::server

...or a custom configuration:

class { 'postgresql::server':
    config_hash => {
        'ip_mask_deny_postgres_user' => '0.0.0.0/32',
        'ip_mask_allow_all_users'    => '0.0.0.0/0',
        'listen_addresses'           => '*',
        'ipv4acls'                   => ['hostssl all johndoe 192.168.0.0/24 cert'],
        'manage_redhat_firewall'     => true,
        'postgres_password'          => 'TPSrep0rt!',
    },
}

Manage users / roles and permissions:

postgresql::database_user{'marmot':
    password => 'foo',
}

postgresql::database_grant{'grant select to marmot':
   grantee   => 'marmot',
   on_object => 'my_table',
   perm      => 'select',
   require   => Postgresql::User['marmot'],
}

etc, etc.

Automated testing

Install and setup an RVM with vagrant, sahara, and rspec

$ curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
$ rvm install 1.9.3
$ rvm use --create 1.9.3@puppet-postgresql
$ gem install vagrant sahara rspec

Run the tests like so:

$ (cd spec; vagrant up)
$ rspec -f -d -c

The test suite will snapshot the VM and rollback between each test.

Next, take a look at the manifests used for the automated tests.
