Introduction

• Minitage profils are the way to integrate applications in minitage projects.
• The goal is to make boilerplate to facilitate the use of prefixed applications and to ease the admins job.
• The main thing is to simulate a subsystem is a subdirectory /sys of a project.

Basic layout

/bin
    instancename.binary
/etc/
    /logrotate.d
    /init.d
    /cron.d
/var/
    /var/data
    /var/run
    /var/log

A postgresql example:

/bin
    MyDatabase.psql
/etc/
    /logrotate.d
        MyDatabase.logrotate
    /init.d
        MyDatabase.postgresql
    /cron.d
        MyDatabase.cron
/var/
    /var/data
        MyDatabase/
    /var/run
        MyDatabase.pid
    /var/log
        postgresql/
            MyDatabase.log

Installing a profil

The profils are just specialized paster templates so you just have to apply a template to a project.

Example:

# Applying the 'minitage.env' profil to 'myproject'
paster create -t minitage.env myproject
