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.

Usage

Breaking Change for Upgrades

Upgrading from older cookbook versions that used node['elixir'] attributes together with include_recipe 'elixir::default' is a breaking change. Those legacy attributes and recipes were removed when the cookbook moved to the elixir_install custom resource.

Before upgrading an existing wrapper cookbook or role, replace recipe-based usage with an explicit elixir_install resource and move any previous attribute values onto resource properties. See [migration.md](migration.md) for the required changes.

Use the elixir_install resource in your own cookbook.

Install the default upstream package build

elixir_install 'default'

This installs Elixir 1.19.5 from the official upstream precompiled archive, links it to /usr/local/lib/elixir, and manages /usr/bin/elixir, /usr/bin/elixirc, /usr/bin/iex, and /usr/bin/mix.

Compile Elixir from source

elixir_install 'default' do
  install_method :source
end

Common properties

Property Type Default
version String "1.19.5"
install_method Symbol :package
install_path String "/usr/local/lib/elixir"
versions_path String "/opt/elixir"
otp_major String / Integer "28"
package_url String "https://builds.hex.pm/builds/elixir/v#{version}-otp-#{otp_major}.zip"
source_repo String "https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir.git"
source_revision String "v#{version}"
source_path String "/opt/elixir/source"
manage_erlang true / false true
erlang_install_method Symbol :esl
erlang_source_version String "26.2.5.19"

See [documentation/elixir_elixir_install.md](documentation/elixir_elixir_install.md) for the full resource reference.

Notes

  • The resource models Elixir package and source installs explicitly. Package installs use the official Hex build archive for a specific Erlang/OTP major version.
  • By default, the resource manages Erlang via erlang::esl and installs the Elixir OTP 28 precompiled archive. If you need source-built Erlang instead, set erlang_install_method :source and optionally override erlang_source_version.
  • Current platform and dependency caveats are documented in [LIMITATIONS.md](LIMITATIONS.md).
