Resources

djbdns_rr

Adds a resource record for the specified FQDN.

Actions

  • :add: Creates a new entry in the tinydns data file with the add-X scripts in the tinydns root directory.

Attribute Parameters

  • fqdn: name attribute. specifies the fully qualified domain name of the record.
  • ip: ip address for the record.
  • type: specifies the type of entry. valid types are: alias, alias6, childns, host, host6, mx, and ns. default is host.
  • cwd: current working directory where the add scripts and data files must be located. default is the node attribute djbdns[:tinydns_internal_dir], usually /etc/djbdns/tinydns-internal.

Example

djbdns_rr 'www.example.com' do
  ip '192.168.0.100'
  type 'host'
  action :add
  notifies :run, 'execute[build-tinydns-internal-data]'
end

(The resource execute[build-tinydns-internal-data] should run a make in the tinydns root directory (aka cwd).

Recipes

default

The default recipe installs djbdns software from package where available, otherwise installs from source. It also sets up the users that will run the djbdns services using the UID's specified by the attributes above. The service type to use is selected based on platform.

The default recipe attempts to install djbdns on as many platforms as possible. It tries to determine the platform's installation method:

  • Debian will install from packages
  • All other distributions will install from source.

Service specific users will be created as system users:

  • dnscache
  • dnslog
  • tinydns

axfr

Creates the axfrdns user and sets up the axfrdns service.

cache

Sets up a local DNS caching server.

internal_server

Sets up a server to be an internal nameserver. To modify resource records in the environment, modify the tinydns-internal-data.erb template, or create entries in a data bag named djbdns, and an item named after the domain, with underscores instead of spaces. Example structure of the data bag:

{
  "id": "int_example_com",
  "ns": [
    { "int.example.com": "192.168.0.5" },
    { "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa": "192.168.0.5" }
  ],
  "alias": [
    { "www.int.example.com": "192.168.0.100" }
  ],
  "host": [
    { "web1.int.example.com": "192.168.0.100" }
  ]
}

Aliases and hosts should be an array of hashes, each entry containing the fqdn as the key and the IP as the value. In this example 192.168.0.5 is the IP of the nameserver and we're listing it as authoritative for int.example.com and for reverse DNS for 192.168.0.x.

server

Sets up a server to be a public nameserver. To modify resource records in the environment, modify the tinydns-data.erb template. The recipe does not yet use the data bag per internal_server above, but will in a future release.

  • Require the latest compat_resource
  • Switch to Inspec for integration testing
  • Remove RHEL 5 testing as it's near EOL

4.0.0 (2016-12-05)

  • Prevent compile error with source updating method
  • Add ChefSpec matchers
  • Convert LWRP to a custom resource and use compat_resource for 12.1+ compatibility

  • Require Chef 12.1+

v2.0.0 (2016-05-20)

BREAKING CHANGE:

This version removes support for bluepill and daemontools init systems and Arch Linux. If you rely on that support you'll want to pin to the 1.2.0 release

This version now manages all djbdns env files to be compatible with the newest runit release. If you manage these files outside of the djbdns recipe you'll need to use the new attributes

v1.2.0:

  • Removed newlines in configs to prevent restarts
  • Removed inclusion of ucspi-tcp recipe for source installs
  • Convert hashes to Ruby 1.9+ format
  • Bump Runit dependency to 1.6.0 from 1.5.0
  • Updated Test Kitchen config with the latest platforms and a suite for source install
  • Added Travis CI config
  • Added a simple contributing doc to replace the Chef Software Inc version
  • Updated the development gem requirements and break gems into groups in the gemfile
  • Added a cookbook version badge in the readme
  • Added a chefignore file to limit what files are uploaded to the chef server
  • Added additional platforms to the metadata
  • Add source_url and issues_url to the metadata
  • Make modes strings to preserve the leading 0s
  • Resolve rubocop warnings
  • Added additional unit tests

v1.1.0:

  • Update dependency for current runit cookbook, #7
  • Debian is a source based platform, #9 (see issue for background)
  • Add package_name attribute to allow for installing dbndns, #16, related to #9
  • Use runit as default service type instead of bluepill, #10
  • Drop explicit support for old unsupported Ubuntu versions, #11
  • Manage runit's sv dir for "reasons," #12
  • Remove attributes from metadata, as they're not used for anything anywhere anyway

v1.0.2:

  • [COOK-2262] - pin runit dependency

v1.0.0:

  • [COOK-1739] - use node attributes with hash notation instead of just the attribute name (ipaddress, domain) in djbdns attributes file
  • [COOK-1742] - fix foodcritic warnings, use platform_family where apropriate

v0.99.4:

  • [COOK-1259] - Support local (10.x, 172.x, 192.168.x) reverse lookups in cache

v0.99.2:

  • [COOK-1042] - Corrected a syntax error in axfr.
  • [COOK-740] - use correct directory for tinydns root data

Previous versions:

The various recipes now support multiple service types. This is controlled with the node[:djbdns][:service_type] attribute, which is set by platform in the default recipe.

ArchLinux support has been added, as well as naively attempting other platforms by source-compiled installation with bluepill for service management.
