Description

LWRP to manage homesick castles.

Requirements

Chef

Tested on 0.10.2 and 0.10.4 but newer and older version should work just fine.
File an issue if this isn't the case.

Platform

The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the
recipes run on these platforms without error:

• ubuntu
• debian
• mac_os_x
• suse
• openbsd

Please report any additional platforms so they can be added.

Cookbooks

There are no external cookbook dependencies. If you are using RVM,
then you should consider using the rvm cookbook.

Usage

Simply include recipe[homesick] in your run_list and the homesick_repo
resource will be available.

To use recipe[homesick::data_bag], include it in your run_list and have a
data bag called "users" with an item for your user like the following:

{
  "id"  : "wigglebottom",
  "homesick_castles"  : [
    { "name"    : "dotvim",
      "source"  : "git://github.com/fnichol/dotvim.git"
    },
    { "name"    : "dotfiles",
      "source"  : "git://github.com/fnichol/dotfiles.git",
      "action"  : "update"
    }
  ]
}

The data bag recipe will iterate through a list of usernames defined in
node['users'] and attempt to pull in the homesick information from the data
bag item. In other words, having:

node['users'] = ['hsolo']

will set up the hsolo user's castles and not use the wigglebottom user.

Recipes

default

This recipe is a no-op and does nothing.

Use this recipe when you only want access to the homesick_castle LWRP.

data_bag

Fetches an list of homesick castles with data drawn from a data bag. The
default data bag is "users" and the list of user accounts to iterate through
is set on node['users'].

Use this recipe when you want data bag driven data in your workflow.

Attributes

data_bag

The data bag name containing a group of user account information. This is used
by the data_bag recipe to use as a database of user accounts. The default is
"users".
