Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place.

Backup Cookbook

This cookbook automates deploying the backup gem and the configuration of any models you may want. With a little work you can backup everything using this cookbook as the framework.

Requirements

packages

  • ruby - ruby is required for the backup gem to be installed. This can be provided either via chef or via other means.
  • libxml2-dev
  • libxslt1-dev

Resources and Providers

This cookbook provides three resources and corresponding providers.

install.rb

Install or Remove the backup gem with this resource.

Actions:

  • install - installs the backup gem
  • remove - removes the backup gem

generate_config.rb

Generate a configuration file for the backup gem with this resource.

Actions:

  • setup - sets up a basic config.rb for the backup gem
  • remove - removes the base directory for the backup gem and everything underneath it.

Usage

This cookbook is intended to be a framework to help backup your systems. Some examples below:

MongoDB

backup_install node.name
backup_generate_config node.name
gem_package "fog" do  
    version "~> 1.4.0"  
  end  
backup_generate_model "mongodb" do  
  description "Our shard"  
  backup_type "database"  
  database_type "MongoDB"  
  split_into_chunks_of 2048  
  store_with({"engine" => "S3", "settings" => { "s3.access_key_id" => "example", "s3.secret_access_key" => "sample", "s3.region" => "us-east-1", "s3.bucket" => "sample", "s3.path" => "/", "s3.keep" => 10 } } )  
  options({"db.host" => "\"localhost\"", "db.lock" => true})  
  mailto "some@example.com"  
  cron_path "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"
  tmp_path "/mnt/backups"
  cron_log "/var/log/backups.log"
  action :backup  
end  

PostgreSQL

backup_install node.name  
backup_generate_config node.name  
gem_package "fog" do  
  version "~> 1.4.0"  
end  
backup_generate_model "pg" do  
  description "backup of postgres"  
  backup_type "database"  
  database_type "PostgreSQL"  
  split_into_chunks_of 2048  
  store_with({"engine" => "S3", "settings" => { "s3.access_key_id" => "sample", "s3.secret_access_key" => "sample", "s3.region" => "us-east-1", "s3.bucket" => "sample", "s3.path" => "/", "s3.keep" => 10 } } )
  options({"db.name" => "\"postgres\"", "db.username" => "\"postgres\"", "db.password" => "\"somepassword\"", "db.host" => "\"localhost\"" })  
  mailto "sample@example.com"  
  action :backup  
  end

Archiving files to S3

backup_install node.name   
backup_generate_config node.name  
gem_package "fog" do  
  version "~> 1.4.0"  
end  
backup_generate_model "home" do  
  description "backup of /home"  
  backup_type "archive"  
  split_into_chunks_of 250  
  store_with({"engine" => "S3", "settings" => { "s3.access_key_id" => "sample", "s3.secret_access_key" => "sample", "s3.region" => "us-east-1", "s3.bucket" => "sample", "s3.path" => "/", "s3.keep" => 10 } } )  
  options({"add" => ["/home/","/root/"], "exclude" => ["/home/tmp"], "tar_options" => "-p"})  
  mailto "sample@example.com"  
  action :backup  
end  

It is possible to load the settings in an role or an data bag or leave the settings in a recipe.
