# include with some custom params
# this example shows the default values
class {'pow':
      host_dir => '/opt/boxen/data/pow/hosts',
      log_dir => '/opt/boxen/logs/pow',
      dns_port => 30560,
      http_port => 30559,
      dst_port => 1999,
      domains => 'pow',
      ext_domains => undef,     # uses pow default, ""
      timeout => undef,         # uses pow default, 900
      workers => undef,         # uses pow default, 2
      nginx_proxy => true       # or nginx_proxy => 'path/to/custom/nginx/pow.conf.erb' to specify a custom template
    }

The pow module installs pow with a custom destination port and use nginx to proxy custom domains to pow, instead of a firewall rule. You can change this behaviour with the nginx_proxy parameter, using the default nginx configuration or specifying a path to a customized pow nginx configuration. In most cases you will simply specify nginx_proxy => true.

It also use the .pow TLD that resolve to 127.0.0.1 to serve your pow projects

xip.io support

class {'pow':
      ext_domains => 'xip.io',
    }
