deploy_key cookbook

This is a Chef cookbook to manage deploy_keys on SaaS VCSs. Currently, it supports Bitbucket, Github and GitLab.

This work is heavily based on the ideas and code of ZippyKid's github-deploy-key cookbook.

Usage

Use this cookbook as a dependency of whatever cookbook will manage your deploy keys.

Declare a deploy_key resource and configure the provider:

deploy_key "app_deploy_key" do
  provider Chef::Provider::DeployKeyGithub
  ...
end

Supported providers:

• Chef::Provider::DeployKeyGithub
• Chef::Provider::DeployKeyBitbucket
• Chef::Provider::DeployKeyGitlab

Attributes

• label: Used as both the name of the key pair files on disk and the deploy key label on the provider. Defaults to name;
• path: The directory where the private and public keys are stored
• credentials: The credentials used to authenticate on the API - see below

• repo: The repository where the deploy key will be installed. The format varies between providers:

  Provider	Format
  GitHub / Bitbucket	username/repo_slug (e.g.: cassianoleal/cookbook-deploy_key)
  GitLab	an Integer (e.g.: 1, 2, 999)

• api_url: The url of the GitLab server (GitLab only)

• owner: The owner of the key files on disk. Defaults to root

• group: The group of the key files on disk. Defaults to root

• mode: The mode that will be passed on to chmod. Defaults to 0600

Actions

• :create - Runs ssh-keygen to create a key pair on the designed path;
• :delete - Deletes the key pair from the disk;
• :add - Adds the public key as a deploy key for the repository;
• :remove - Removes the key from the list of deploy keys on the repository

<a id="authentication"></a>Authentication

Authentication can be done either via username/password:

deploy_key "app_deploy_key" do
  provider Chef::Provider::DeployKeyGithub
  credentials({
    :user => 'username@org.com',
    :password => 'very_secure_password'
  })
  ...
end

or OAuth token ( Github | Bitbucket ):

deploy_key "app_deploy_key" do
  provider Chef::Provider::DeployKeyGithub
  credentials({
    :token => 'awesome_and_much_more_secure_token'
  })
  ...
end

A full example

deploy_key "bitbucket_key" do
  provider Chef::Provider::DeployKeyBitbucket
  path '/home/app_user/.ssh'
  credentials({
    :token => 'my_bitbucket_oauth_token'
  })
  repo 'organization/million_dollar_app'
  owner 'deploy'
  group 'deploy'
  mode 00640
  action :add
end

ChefSpec matchers

• create_deploy_key(resource_name)
• delete_deploy_key(resource_name)
