How define twice the same service in Puppet? - service

Question

In order to deploy Varnish with a Puppet class, I need stop Varnish for move and deploy files, then at the end, ensure that Varnish is started.
My problem is simple, how I can define twice a service in a Puppet class, in order to stop or start the service at differents steps ?
class varnish::install (
(...)
service { "varnish":
ensure => "stopped",
require => Package['varnish'],
before => Exec['mv-lib-varnish'],
}
(...)
service { "varnish":
ensure => "running",
require => File["$varnishncsa_file"],
}
}
I've an Duplicate definition: Service[varnish] (...) error, and it's logical...
What's the best practice to manage services in a Puppet class ? Divide in multiple classes, or there is an option for "rename" a service for declare it several times ?

Answer 1

try the following to get rid of duplicate error, but what you are trying to do is wrong.
Puppet brings system to certain consistent state - so telling stop service X, do some work , start service X - it out of scope of proper puppet use, puppet is more like restart service if some files on which the service depends were modified.
class varnish::install (
(...)
service { "varnish-stop":
name => "varnish"
ensure => "stopped",
require => Package['varnish'],
before => Exec['mv-lib-varnish'],
}
(...)
service { "varnish-start":
name => "varnish"
ensure => "running",
require => File["$varnishncsa_file"],
}
}

Use exec with service restart as a hook (notify) for "deploy files" action (package/another exec). Define service itself only once as running, because that is what you normally want assuring. Puppet is for describing target state.
