Flannel Cookbook

This is a library cookbook that provides resources for setting up
flannel instances.

Requirements

• Chef 12.5.0 or higher.
• Network accessible web server hosting the flannel binaries.

Platform Support

Tested on the following platforms with test-kitchen:

• debian-8.2

Usage

• Add depends 'flannel', '~> 0.3' to your cookbook's metadata.rb.
• Use the resources shipped in this cookbook.

Custom Resources

• flannel_service

flannel_service

Downloads pre-compiled Go binaries of flanneld onto disk.

• The :create action downloads the pre-compiled go binary of flanneld onto disk.
• The :start action runs flanneld as a systemd service

It has the following properties corresponding to
flannel's commandline options

• public_ip
• etcd_endpoints
• etcd_prefix
• etcd_keyfile
• etcd_cafile
• iface
• subnet_file
• ip_masq
• listen
• remote
• remote_keyfile
• remote_certfile
• networks
• v or log_level

Another property called config corresponds to
flannel's etcd-stored configuration

Helper

The [libraries/subnet_parser.rb](libraries/subnet_parser.rb) file extends the flannel_service resource to read
and parse the subnet file. An example approach on integrating with the docker cookbook
is found in
[test/cookbooks/flannel_test/recipes/docker.rb](test/cookbooks/flannel_test/recipes/docker.rb).
