[Announce] App::ForExample: Helper to generate Catalyst configurations
|
|
Last Tuesday, during a SFPUG Catalyst talk, I announced App::ForExample
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?App::ForExample
http://search.cpan.org/dist/App-ForExample
This is the tool I've written to help with the deployment stage of
publishing a Catalyst application. It will
generate configurations for Apache, lighttpd, nginx:
App::ForExample is a command-line tool for generating sample configurations.
It is not designed to do configuration
management, but rather as a guide to get you 80% of the way there
Besides the usual Apache, lighttpd, nginx, and FastCGI configurations,
App::ForExample can create a FastCGI start-stop script and a monit
configuration for monitoring those processes
Here is some typical usage:
# To output a FastCGI (ExternalServer)/Apache configuration (with monit
stub and start-stop script), run:
for-example catalyst/fastcgi apache2 standalone --package My::App
--hostname example.com --output my-app
# The above command would have created the following:
my-app.apache2 The Apache2 virtual host configuration (hosted at
(www.)example.com)
my-app.start-stop The start/stop script to launch the FastCGI
process
my-app.monit A monit stub used for monitoring the FastCGI
process
# This will generate a basic, stripped-down monit configuration (monitrc)
suitable for a non-root user:
for-example monit --home $HOME/monit --output $HOME/monit/monitrc
# A mod_perl configuration for Catalyst:
for-example catalyst/mod_perl --package Project::Xyzzy --hostname
xyzzy.com --home Project-Xyzzy

You can install App::ForExample by using CPAN:
cpan -i App::ForExample
If that doesn't work properly, you can find help at:
