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.

Description

Lightweight resource and provider to install OS X applications (.app) from dmg files

Requirements

Platform: Mac OS X

Resources and Providers

dmg_package

This resource will install a DMG "Package". It will retrieve the DMG from a remote URL, mount it using OS X's hdid, copy the application (.app directory) to the specified destination (/Applications), and detach the image using hdiutil. The dmg file will be stored in the Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]. If you want to install an application that has already been downloaded (not using the source parameter), copy it to the appropriate location. You can find out what directory this is with the following command on the node to run chef:

knife exec -E 'p Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]' -c /etc/chef/client.rb

Actions:

  • :install - Installs the application.

Parameter attributes:

  • app - This is the name of the application used by default for the /Volumes directory and the .app directory copied to /Applications.
  • source - remote URL for the dmg to download if specified. Default is nil.
  • destination - directory to copy the .app into. Default is /Applications.
  • checksum - sha256 checksum of the dmg to download. Default is nil.
  • volumes_dir - Directory under /Volumes where the dmg is mounted. Not all dmgs are mounted into a /Volumes location matching the name of the dmg. If not specified, this will use the name attribute.
  • dmg_name - Specify the name of the dmg if it is not the same as app, or if the name has spaces.

Usage Examples

Install /Applications/Tunnelblick.app from the primary download site.

dmg_package "Tunnelblick" do
  source "http://tunnelblick.googlecode.com/files/Tunnelblick_3.1.2.dmg"
  checksum "a3fae60b6833175f32df20c90cd3a3603a"
  action :install
end

Install Google Chrome. Uses the dmg_name because the application name has spaces. Installs in /Applications/Google Chrome.app.

dmg_package "Google Chrome" do
  dmg_name "googlechrome"
  source "https://dl-ssl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRM/googlechrome.dmg"
  checksum "7daa2dc5c46d9bfb14f1d7ff4b33884325e5e63e694810adc58f14795165c91a"
  action :install
end

Install Dropbox. Uses volumes_dir because the mounted directory is different than the name of the application directory. Installs in /Applications/Dropbox.app.

dmg_package "Dropbox" do
  volumes_dir "Dropbox Installer"
  source "http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=mac"
  checksum "b4ea620ca22b0517b75753283ceb82326aca8bc3c86212fbf725de6446a96a13"
  action :install
end

Install MacIrssi to ~/Applications from the local file downloaded to the cache path into an Applications directory in the current user's home directory. Chef should run as a non-root user for this.

directory "#{ENV['HOME']}/Applications"

dmg_package "MacIrssi" do
  destination "#{ENV['HOME']}/Applications"
  action :install
end

To do

A few things remain outstanding to make this cookbook "1.0" quality.

  • support downloading a .dmg.zip and unzipping it
  • specify a local .dmg already downloaded in another location (like ~/Downloads)

Some things that would be nice to have at some point.

  • use hdiutil to mount/attach the disk image
  • automatically detect the volumes_dir where the image is attached
  • be able to automatically accept license agreements
  • install software that is a .pkg inside a .dmg instead of just .app's
