Puppet module for PostgreSQL resources

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

• postgresql::initdb
• postgresql::db
• postgresql::role
• postgresql::user (just for clarity; users are roles in postgres)
• postgresql::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'           => '*',
        'manage_redhat_firewall'     => true,
        'postgres_password'          => 'TPSrep0rt!',
    },
}

Manage users / roles and permissions:

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

postgresql::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.
