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. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

daemontools

Cookbook Version
License

Custom resources for installing daemontools, managing svscan, and defining supervised services.

This cookbook no longer exposes recipes or node attributes as its public API. Use the resources directly.

Supported Platforms

  • Amazon Linux 2023
  • Debian 12+
  • Ubuntu 24.04+
  • Arch Linux via AUR
  • Gentoo via sys-process/daemontools

Current distro and packaging constraints are documented in [LIMITATIONS.md](LIMITATIONS.md).

Resources

  • daemontools_install_source
  • daemontools_install_package
  • daemontools_install_aur
  • daemontools_svscan
  • daemontools_service

Resource-specific documentation lives under documentation/.

Usage

Source install with managed svscan 

daemontools_install_source 'default' do
  bin_dir '/usr/local/bin'
  service_dir '/etc/service'
end

daemontools_svscan 'default' do
  install_style :source
  bin_dir '/usr/local/bin'
  service_dir '/etc/service'
end

Debian or Ubuntu package install

daemontools_install_package 'default' do
  package_name 'daemontools-run'
  service_dir '/etc/service'
end

daemontools_svscan 'default' do
  install_style :package
  service_name 'daemontools'
  service_dir '/etc/service'
end

Arch Linux AUR install

daemontools_install_aur 'default' do
  package_name 'daemontools'
  service_dir '/etc/service'
end

daemontools_svscan 'default' do
  install_style :aur
  service_name 'svscan'
  service_dir '/etc/service'
end

Define a supervised service

daemontools_service 'flowers' do
  directory '/etc/sv/flowers'
  template 'flowers'
  bin_dir '/usr/local/bin'
  service_dir '/etc/service'
  log true
  action %i(enable start)
end

Templates are still expected in the consuming cookbook:

  • templates/default/sv-flowers-run.erb
  • templates/default/sv-flowers-log-run.erb

If the service uses a finish script, set finish true and provide sv-flowers-finish.erb.
