concat-cookbook
concat is a cookbook inspired by the Puppet concat module to allow you to build text files out of smaller orderable fragments. Use cases include building firewall rules, fragmenting monolithic configuration files into smaller chunks, etc.
Supported Platforms
This was tested on Linux and should work as expected there. No idea whether it will work elsewhere.
Requirements
Chef 12.3.0 or higher
Usage
- Require the concat cookbook in your own cookbook's
metadata.rb. - Use the concat_fragment resource type to build up the fragments for the target file. At present the fragments will only make use of template files, and not cookbook files.
- After all fragment resources have been assembled, use a concat resource, ensuring that the path attribute of this resource exactly matches the path you supplied for each fragment.
Current features
- allows creation of file fragments and concatenation into final file
- deletion of individual fragments and fragment directories
Upcoming features
- fragments from cookbook files as well as templates
- additional features relentlessly cribbed from the Puppet concat module
- more tests, and tests renamed to something that makes sense
Acknowledgments
- Thanks to the Puppet concat module (https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-concat) for giving me the idea to replicate this in Chef.
- Thanks to the Chef Nginx cookbook (https://github.com/miketheman/nginx) for giving me something to reference while I cargo culted my way through Berkshelf and Test Kitchen for the first time.
