cifs Cookbook

This cookbook install and configure CIFS

Requirements

Should work on ubuntu systems.

Attributes

• node['cifs']['password_data_bag'] - The data bag name containing the credentials, default "passwords".
• node['cifs']['credential_file'] - File path for the CIFS credential file, default "/etc/samba/credentials".
• node['cifs']['default_mount_options'] - Default options applied to mounts (credential path is appended in the recipe)

Usage

Just include cifs in your node's run_list to install the cifs client.

If you want to mount share you can use the cifs::mount recipe:

node['cifs']['mounts']['/mnt/share'] =
  {
    'cifs_path' => '//server.example.org/share',
  }

include_recipe 'cifs::mount'

Todo

• This cookbook assume that the credentials for all mounts within the same node are the same
• Better mount options management
• Extract the mount logic to a provider/resource ?
