## Overview
-Puppet module for deploying the OpenDaylight Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller.
+Puppet module for deploying the [OpenDaylight Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller](http://www.opendaylight.org/).
## Module Description
-Stands up the OpenDaylight SDN controller from an RPM, including systemd configuration.
+Deploys and configures the [OpenDaylight SDN controller](http://www.opendaylight.org/), including systemd configuration.
-The currently supported OpenDaylight version is Helium SR2 (0.2.2).
+Both supported install methods default to the latest stable OpenDaylight release, which is currently Helium 0.2.3 SR3.
## Setup
-### What opendaylight affects
+### What `opendaylight` affects
-* Installs OpenDaylight archive in /opt/ (may change as RPM matures).
-* Installs a [systemd unit file](https://github.com/dfarrell07/opendaylight-systemd/) for OpenDaylight.
+* Installs [OpenDaylight](http://www.opendaylight.org/).
+* Installs a [systemd unitfile](https://github.com/dfarrell07/opendaylight-systemd/) for OpenDaylight.
+* Starts the `opendaylight` systemd service.
* Creates `odl:odl` user:group if they don't already exist.
+* Installs Java, which is required by ODL.
-### Beginning with opendaylight
+### Beginning with `opendaylight`
To install and start OpenDaylight, include the `opendaylight` class: `include opendaylight`.
### Install Method
-The `install_method` param, and the associated `tarball_url` and `unitfile_url` params, are intended for use by developers who need to install a custom-built version of OpenDaylight. It's recommended that most folks use the default RPM-based install. If you do need to install from a tarball, simply pass `tarball` as the value for `install_method` and optionally pass the URL to your tarball via the `tarball_url` param. The default value for `tarball_url` points at the OpenDaylight's latest release. The `unitfile_url` param points at the OpenDaylight systemd .service file used by the RPM and should (very likely) not need to be overridden.

class { 'opendaylight':

#### Public classes
-* `opendaylight`: This is the modules main class. It installs and configures OpenDaylight.
+* `opendaylight`: Main entry point to the module. All ODL knobs should be managed through its params.
#### Private classes
-* `opendaylight::params`: Manages default param values.
-* `opendaylight::config`: Manages the Karaf config file via a template.
-* `opendaylight::install`: Chooses the correct Yum repo URL based on OS, installs the OpenDaylight Yum repo, installs the OpenDaylight RPM.
-* `opendaylight::service`: Configures and starts the OpenDaylight service.
+* `opendaylight::params`: Contains default `opendaylight` class param values.
+* `opendaylight::config`: Manages ODL config, including Karaf features and REST port.
+* `opendaylight::install`: Installs ODL from an RPM or tarball.
+* `opendaylight::service`: Starts the OpenDaylight service.
## Limitations
-* The target OS must use systemd (Fedora 15+, CentOS 7+).
-* Only tested on Fedora 20, 21 and CentOS 7.
-* Currently only supports RPM-based installs.
+* Only tested on Fedora 20, 21, CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 14.04.
+* CentOS 7 is currently the most stable OS option.
+* Our [Fedora 21 Beaker tests are failing](https://github.com/dfarrell07/puppet-opendaylight/issues/63), but it seems to be an issue with the Vagrant image, not the Puppet mod.
