DomTool / Plugins

This page is aimed at admins; that is, people with root privileges on our servers. Most members should probably consult DomTool/UserGuide instead.

This page documents the different DomTool plugins, which provide the primitive actions that can be used to configure particular "real" daemons.

1. Apache

Modules: Apache, Apache_auth, Apache_options, Mod_autoindex, Mod_dav, Mod_env, Mod_rewrite, Proxy, Urls

Each vhost "$HOST" directive creates a $HOST.vhost file in $DOMTOOL/nodes. A change handler for .vhost files copies them to /var/domtool/vhosts. A post-handler runs domtool-publish apache, which rsyncs /var/domtool/vhosts to /etc/apache2/vhosts after any vhost has changed and runs /etc/init.d/apache2 reload to reload configuration.

The Apache plugin also manages creation and deletion of log directories. Each member should have an apache/log subdirectory of his AFS volume root, owned by domtool with read permissions for the member. The plugin creates a directory /afs/hcoop/usr/$USER/apache/log/$NODE/$HOST for each virtual host running on $NODE as $USER with full hostname $HOST. When a vhost is deleted, the plugin deletes its log directory. Since this can't be done while Apache is running, because the daemon maintains open file handles to logs, the plugin has to take Apache down until configuration is finished, reloading it afterward. Hopefully domains aren't deleted very often, so this shouldn't be much of a problem.

Apache also provides hooks that other plugins can use to request callbacks just before and/or after a vhost is configured.

2. BIND

Modules: Bind

BIND configuration directives are written to dns files in the $DOMTOOL/nodes directories of the appropriate nodes/domains. These dns files contain all of the contents of a BIND zonefile, with the exception of the SOA record. This is handled by main DomTool code and written in a stylized form to soa files. The BIND plugin registers a change handler looking for modifications to either dns or soa files. When any are found, /var/domtool/zones/$DOMAIN.zone is regenerated from them.

The BIND plugin also produces a named.conf file for each domain. A change handler notes when some named.conf has changed, and a post-handler concatenates all named.conf files in $DOMTOOL/nodes/$NODE into /var/domtool/named.conf.local and runs domtool-publish bind, which rsyncs /var/domtool/zones to /etc/bind/zones, copies /var/domtool/named.conf.local to /etc/bind/, and runs /etc/init.d/bind9 reload.

3. Exim

Modules: Alias, Exim

The Exim plugin maintains three kinds of files in domain configuration directories:

A post-handler performs the concatenation over all domains into /var/domtool/aliases, /var/domtool/local_domains.cfg, and /var/domtool/relay_domains.cfg, respectively; and then runs domtool-publish exim, which copies the first file to /etc/aliases.hosted and concatenates the rest to /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/10_domtool-domains, and then runs /etc/init.d/exim4 reload.

4. HCoop

Modules: Hcoop

This plug-in currently only provides useful HCoop-specific extern functions.

5. Mailman

Modules: Mailman

The mailmanWebHost action writes a domain file mailman, recording the default Mailman vhost for that domain. A post-handler concatenates all of these into /var/domtool/mailman.map in a format suitable for a Python association list in Mailman configuration, and runs domtool-publish mailman, which uses that file to create /etc/mailman/vhosts_cfg.py, which defines an association list named HCOOP_VHOSTS. A file /var/domtool/mailman_domains.cfg is also created to list which domains should be considered for Mailman list delivery, and this list is added to /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/10_domtool-domains upon publishing.

6. Webalizer

Modules: none

This plugin works entirely through the before/after vhost hooks provided by the Apache plugin. For each vhost $VHOST on node $NODE, it writes to $DOMTOOL/webalizer/config/$NODE/$VHOST.conf Webalizer configuration that will generate statistics for that vhost. The output HTML and images are directed to $DOMTOOL/webalizer/output/$NODE/$VHOST/, which the plugin ensures exists.
