birdhousebuilder.recipe.tomcat 0.3.3

A Buildout recipe to install and configure tomcat with conda.

Introduction

birdhousebuilder.recipe.tomcat is a Buildout recipe to install Apache Tomcat application server with Anaconda. This recipe is used by the Birdhouse project.

Usage

The recipe requires that Anaconda is already installed. You can use the buildout option anaconda-home to set the prefix for the anaconda installation. Otherwise the environment variable CONDA_PREFIX (variable is set when activating a conda environment) is used as conda prefix.

It installs the apache-tomcat package from a conda channel in a conda enviroment defined by CONDA_PREFIX. The intallation folder is given by the prefix buildout option. It deploys a Supervisor configuration in ${prefix}/etc/supervisor/conf.d/tomcat.conf. Supervisor can be started with ${prefix}/etc/init.d/supervisord start.

By default Tomcat will be available on http://localhost:8080/.

The recipe depends on birdhousebuilder.recipe.conda and birdhousebuilder.recipe.supervisor.

Supported options

This recipe supports the following options:

anaconda-home

Buildout option pointing to the root folder of the Anaconda installation. Default: $HOME/anaconda.

http_port

HTTP Port for Tomcat service. Default: 8080

Xms

Initial Java heap size: Default: 128m

Xmx

Maximum Java heap size: Default: 1024m

MaxPermSize

Maximum Java permanent heap size: Default: 128m

ncwms_password

Enable ncWMS2 admin web interface by setting a password: Default: disabled

Example usage

The following example buildout.cfg installs tomcat as a Supervisor service:

[buildout]
parts = tomcat

[tomcat]
recipe = birdhousebuilder.recipe.tomcat
http_port = 8080
Xms = 256m
Xmx = 2048m
MaxPermSize = 128m
