Overview
Install, enable and configure lsyncd, the live syncing daemon. This module has initially been developed for and tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 only.
lsyncd: Main class to install, enable and configure the service.
Examples
Simple instance using the lsyncd.conf file from a module named example :
class { 'lsyncd': config_source => 'puppet:///modules/example/lsyncd.conf' }If you are going to be interfacing lsyncd with csync2 to perform an all-way near-instantaneous file synchronization, you can use the provided template :
$lsyncd_csync2_sources = {
'/var/www' => 'www',
'/srv/data' => 'data',
}
class { 'lsyncd':
config_content => template('lsyncd/lsyncd-csync2.conf.erb'),
}This will have lsyncd trigger csync2 -C www -x for changes made
to /var/www and csync2 -C data -x for changes made to /srv/data. Compared
to using rsync, using csync2 has the advantage of providing safe file deleting
in any direction.
