Usage

  1. Setup your site specific parameters in roundcube.yaml
    vi roundcube.yaml

A list of all settable parameter with description is available using

    juju get roundcube

or listing config.yaml

  1. Deployment with mysql and haproxy

    juju bootstrap
juju deploy --config roundcube.yaml roundcube
juju deploy mysql
juju deploy haproxy
juju add-relation mysql roundcube
juju add-relation roundcube haproxy
juju expose haproxy

  2. Accessing your new roundcube site should be ready at http://[haproxy-machine-addr]/. To find out the public address of haproxy, look for it in the output of the 'juju status' command.

Note about HTTPS

to enable https access to your site, you can set "do_https" to the value of the https port you want to listen to (443 is the default for https). You will also need to provide the paths to existing SSLCertificate (ssl_crt) and key (ssl_key). This means that you will have to use juju scp to upload your certificates before making the config changes and adding other units.

You can also use the default ssl snake oil certificates provided by the ssl-cert package:

# This config activates https on port 443
do_https: 443
ssl_crt: /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem 
ssl_key: /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

If the certificate you provide is invalid, apache will fail to load. If the paths you provide are invalid, the https site will no be activated.

juju debug-log

should be your friend, go have a look.

The certificates should be uploaded to the first unit you start, a peer relation between all units will ensure that they will be reused identically everywhere.
