Features

• Compatible with RHEL 5/6/7
• Installs Pivotal tc Server
• Creates tc Server instances
• Enables tc Server instances at boot
• Supports instance-specific configurations
• Restarts tc Server instances as necessary

Instructions

1. Edit defaults/main.yml as desired

2. Edit tasks/configure-instances.yml as desired

3. In your playbook include the tcserver role and define any desired variables for the instances

• Available variables:

  • name: The name of the instance. This is the only variable that's required.
  • cluster_node_prefix: The cluster node name prefix. A numerical suffix will be appended that will be unique for each server in the play. If this is not provided, clustering will not be configured.
  • port_ajp_http: The AJP HTTP port. If port_ajp_https is provided but not port_ajp_http, tc Server will use port 8009 by default. If neither is provided, AJP will not be configured.
  • port_ajp_https: The AJP HTTPS port. This can be set to the same value as port_https if desired. If port_ajp_http is provided but not port_ajp_https, tc Server will use port 8443 by default. If neither is provided, AJP will not be configured.
  • port_http: The HTTP port. If port_https is provided but not port_http, an HTTP connector will not be created. If neither is provided, tc Server will configure an HTTP connector with the default port of 8080.
  • port_https: The HTTPS port. If this isn't provided, an HTTPS connector will not be created.
  • port_jmx: The JMX port. If this isn't provided, tc Server will use port 6969 by default.
  • tomcat_major_version:: The Tomcat major version, either 7 or 8. If this isn't provided, tc Server will use version 8 by default.
