The templates folder contains of the configurable template files. For example, if clustering can be configured in a particular template module for a Carbon product, the axis2.xml file should be included in the templates folder as a templated file, axis2.xml.template. The template file content for the clustering related area can look like something as follows.

<clustering class="org.wso2.carbon.core.clustering.hazelcast.HazelcastClusteringAgent" enable="{{ CONFIG_PARAM_CLUSTERING }}">
<parameter name="membershipScheme">{{CONFIG_PARAM_MEMBERSHIP_SCHEME}}</parameter>
<parameter name="domain">{{CONFIG_PARAM_DOMAIN}}</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberHost">{{CONFIG_PARAM_LOCAL_MEMBER_HOST}}</parameter>
<parameter name="localMemberPort">{{CONFIG_PARAM_LOCAL_MEMBER_PORT}}</parameter>
<parameter name="properties">
<property name="backendServerURL" value="https://${hostName}:${httpsPort}/services/"/>
<property name="mgtConsoleURL" value="https://${hostName}:${httpsPort}/"/>
{% if CONFIG_PARAM_SUB_DOMAIN == 'mgt' %}
{% if CONFIG_PARAM_PT_HTTP_PROXY_PORT is defined -%}
<property name="port.mapping.80" value="{{CONFIG_PARAM_PT_HTTP_PROXY_PORT}}"/>
{% else -%}
<property name="port.mapping.80" value="9763"/>
{% endif -%}
{% if CONFIG_PARAM_PT_HTTPS_PROXY_PORT is defined -%}
<property name="port.mapping.443" value="{{CONFIG_PARAM_PT_HTTPS_PROXY_PORT}}"/>
{% else -%}
<property name="port.mapping.443" value="9443"/>
{% endif -%}
<property name="subDomain" value="mgt"/>
{% endif %}
<!-- Worker Setup-->
{% if CONFIG_PARAM_SUB_DOMAIN == 'worker' %}
<property name="subDomain" value="worker"/>
{% endif %}
</parameter>
<members>
{% for key, value in CONFIG_PARAM_WKA_MEMBERS.iteritems() -%}
<member>
<hostName>{{ key }}</hostName>
<port>{{ value }}</port>
</member>
{% endfor -%}
</members>

The templating language used in the Configurator is Jinja Templating.

module.ini

The module.ini file contains the configurable options for the specific template module. For example, for the above mentioned clustering enabled axis2.xml.template file, the following can be the likely entries of the module.ini file.

[SETTINGS]

...

READ_FROM_ENVIRONMENT=true

...

CARBON_HOME=/opt/wso2am-1.9.1

...

[PARAMS]

...

CONFIG_PARAM_CLUSTERING=true

...

CONFIG_PARAM_MEMBERSHIP_SCHEME=wka

...

CONFIG_PARAM_DOMAIN=wso2.carbon.domain

...

CONFIG_PARAM_LOCAL_MEMBER_HOST=127.0.0.1

...

CONFIG_PARAM_LOCAL_MEMBER_PORT=4000

...

CONFIG_PARAM_WKA_MEMBERS=[127.0.0.1:4000]

...

CONFIG_PARAM_PORT_OFFSET=0

...

CONFIG_PARAM_PROFILE=Default

READ_FROM_ENVIRONMENT

If READ_FROM_ENVIRONMENT is set to true, then the Configurator will override any values specified in the module.ini file with values from the environment variables. 

CARBON_HOME

CARBON_HOME is the path to the product which has to be configured using the specified templates. 

Running the Configurator

The Configurator has to be pointed to the location of the template module. It will look for the module.ini file, read the configuration values, process the templates inside templates folder, and copy the processed templates and the files inside files folder to the CARBON_HOME. 

Download Configurator

The Configurator is hosted on the Private PaaS Cartridge Repository. 

1. Checkout the Cartridge Repository.

Create Template Module

Create the template module with the above mentioned folder structure. However, Private PaaS Cartridge Repository contains a list of Cartridges with Template Modules that can built. For example, if we are building the template module for WSO2 API Manager the following procedure can be followed. 

1. Checkout the Private PaaS Cartridge Repository.
   1. git clone https://github.com/wso2/private-paas-cartridges.git
2. Navigate to WSO2 API Manager 1.9.1 Template Module.
   1. cd <PRIVATE_PAAS_CARTRIDGES_HOME>/wso2am/1.9.1/template-module/
3. Build the Template Module.
   1. mvn clean install 
4. Unzip the resulting zip file.
   1. cd /tmp
   2. unzip  <PRIVATE_PAAS_CARTRIDGES_HOME>/wso2am/1.9.1/template-module/target/wso2am-1.9.1-template-module-4.1.0.zip

Execute Configurator on the Template Module

Navigate to the Configurator folder and execute configurator.py, and pass the template module folder as a command line argument. 

./configurator.py -d /tmp/wso2am-1.9.1-template-module-4.1.0
