Upgrades chef-client to specified releases
cookbook 'chef_client_updater', '= 1.1.0', :supermarket
knife supermarket install chef_client_updater
knife supermarket download chef_client_updater
chef_client_updater
This cookbook updates the chef-client
Requirements
Platforms
- All platforms with a chef-client package on downloads.chef.io
Chef
- Chef 12.1+
Cookbooks
- compat_resource
Usage
This cookbook provides both a custom resource and a default recipe. The default recipe simply uses the custom resource with a set of attributes. You can add chef_client_updater::default to your run list or use the custom resource in a wrapper cookbook.
Init System Caveats
When Chef runs as a service under a system init daemon such as Sys-V or systemd each chef run forks off from the main chef-client process being managed by the init system. For a chef-client upgrade to occur the running chef-client as well as the parent process must be killed, and a new chef-client must start using the updated binaries. This cookbook handles killing the chef-client, but your init system must properly handle starting the service back up. For systemd and upstart this can be handled via configuration, and chef-client cookbook 8.1.1 or later handles this by default. This functionality is not available in sys-v (RHEL 6, Debian 7, and others), so you will need to employ a secondary process such as a monitoring system to start the chef-client service.

chef_client_updater Cookbook CHANGELOG
This file is used to list changes made in each version of the chef_client_updater cookbook.
1.1.0 (2017-05-10)
- Add support for download URL overrides via new properties on the resource and attributes for the default recipe. This requires mixlib-install 3.2.1, which we now ensure we install in the updater resource.
- Update the default post_install action in the recipe to match the resource (exec).
- Remove usage of class_eval in the resource since we use compat_resource and class_eval causes issues with some later Chef 12 releases.
- Fix the solaris platform name in the metadata.rb.
- Remove disabling FC016 and FC023 Foodcritic rules as these no longer alert.
- Avoid infinite loops if trying to install the latest chef-client version from any channel.
- Add a true test recipe and remove unused inspec tests
- Add debug logging of the current vs. desired versions to help troubleshooting
- Added a blurb in the readme outlining init system issues surrounding kill and the chef-client starting back up
1.0.2 (2017-04-07)
- Fix Chef 13 compatibility by using Kernel.exec not exec
1.0.1 (2017-04-07)
- point the URLs at the new project repo
- Add ChefSpec matcher
1.0.0
- Initial release of chef_client_updater
