A Puppet module to store custom classes, templates, and files to share between Puppet Master configurations

The installation of Wordpress onto a server using Puppet needs to be done in multiple steps, if tall of he following criteria are met:

• You want to enable the Multisite/Network feature
• This is the first site to be installed on the server

1. Allow Multisite to be configured by running the class with multisite = 'allow'. For example:

   class { 'lieutdan13::wordpress':
       db_password => 'random_password',
       db_user     => 'wordpress',
       multisite   => 'allow',
       version     => 'latest',
   }

2. Run puppet on the machine

3. Initialize the first/primary blog for the Wordpress network by visiting the blog's url

   • This assumes that the DNS and firewall are configured properly and you have access to the url in a browser

4. Login to the blog's admin panel with the user created

5. Go to Tools --> Network Setup and initialize the Network

6. Select "Sub-domains" and click "Install"

7. Set Multisite to be migrated by running the class with multisite = 'migrate'.

   • If you also want to enable the multi-database feature, set multidb = true.
   • For example:

   class { 'lieutdan13::wordpress':
       db_password => 'random_password',
       db_user     => 'wordpress',
       multidb     => true/false,
       multisite   => 'migrate',
       options     => {
           'main_site' => 'blogs.example.com',
       },
       version     => 'latest',
   }

8. Run puppet on the machine again

9. Login again to the admin panel

10. Go to My Sites --> Network Admin --> Dashboard

11. Go to Settings --> Network Settings and configure the blog accordingly

12. Go to Settings --> Domain Mapping and configure accordingly

13. If you chose to enable the multidb feature:

    1. Go to Plugins and activate SharDB site admin utilities network-wide
    2. Go to Settings --> SharDB Migration and perform the migration of the sites

14. Enable Multisite completely by running the class with multisite = true. For example:

    class { 'lieutdan13::wordpress':
        db_password => 'random_password',
        db_user     => 'wordpress',
        multidb     => true/false,
        multisite   => true,
        options     => {
            'main_site' => 'blogs.example.com',
        },
        version     => 'latest',
    }
