plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver 0.9

ZC Buildout recipe for installing a Zope 2 ZEO server

plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver

This recipe creates and configures a Zope 2 ZEO server in parts. It also installs a control script, which is like zeoctl, in the bin/ directory. The name of the control script is the the name of the part in buildout.

You can use it with a part like this:

[zeoserver]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2zeoserver
zope2-location = /path/to/zope2/install
zeo-address = 8100

Options

zope2-location

The path where Zope 2 is installed. If you are also using the plone.recipe.zope2install recipe, and you have that configured as a part called ‘zope2’ prior to the zope2instance part, you can use ${zope2:location} for this parameter.

zeopack

The path to the zeopack.py backup script. A wrapper for this will be generated in bin/zeopack, which sets up the appropriate environment to run this. Defaults to “${zope2-location}/utilities/ZODBTools/zeopack.py”. Set this option to an empty value if you do not want this script to be generated.

zeo-conf

A relative or absolute path to a zeo.conf file. If this is not given, a zeo.conf will be generated based on the the options below.

The following options all affect the generated zope.conf.

zeo-address

Give a port for the ZEO server. Defaults to 8100.

effective-user

The name of the effective user for the ZEO process. Defaults to not setting an effective user.

invalidation-queue-size

The invalidation-queue-size used for the ZEO server. Defaults to 100.

zeo-log

The filename of the ZEO log file. Defaults to var/log/${partname}.log

storage-number

The number used to identify a storage.

file-storage

The filename where the ZODB data file will be stored. Defaults to var/filestorage/Data.fs.

blob-storage

The folder where the ZODB blob data files will be stored.

socket-name

The filename where ZEO will write its socket file. Defaults to var/zeo.zdsock.

zeo-conf-additional

Give additional lines to zeo.conf. Make sure you indent any lines after the one with the parameter.

Change History

0.9

• Added invalidation-queue-size and storage-number options. [hannosch]

• Merged rochael-blobsupport branch. Added support for ZODB 3.8 blob storage configuration. This adds the blob-storage option. This closes https://bugs.launchpad.net/collective.buildout/+bug/179113. [rochael, hannosch]

• Renamed zope-conf-additional option to zeo-conf-additional. [rochael]

0.8

• Small documentation update. Added link to the bugtracker. [hannosch]

• Have PID file’s location default to ${buildout:directory}/var/${name}.pid. Keeping the PID file in $INSTANCE_HOME gives trouble when buildout rebuilds the part. [nouri, mbenali]

0.7

• Change default location of zeo socket to var. [smcmahon]

• Add option to set socket-name. [smcmahon]

0.6

• Move the documentation to a separate README.txt and read that from setup.py. [wichert]

• Add a wrapper around zeopack which inserts default options for our ZEO server. [wichert]

0.5

• Added an option to set the effective-user. [optilude]

0.3

• Updated setup.py. [optilude]

0.2

• Similarly, there are some hardcoded dependencies on $INSTANCE_HOME/etc/. [optilude]

• Documented options, cleaned up code, and added the ability to use a manual zeo.conf. [optilude]

• Make this work, at least on OS X and probably unix-like system. It wouldn’t surprise me if this needs adjustment for Windows in the same way that we do in plone.recipe.zope2instance. :-( [optilude]

0.1

• Initial implementation. [regebro, hannosch]
