hostnames cookbook
Easy hostname, FQDN and /etc/hosts file updates. Less broken than the hostname recipe.
Works with custom /etc/hosts files and fixes aws dns slowness (use use_node_ip: true)
https://github.com/nathantsoi/chef-cookbook-hostname
Install it
With berkshelf - Berskfile
source 'https://supermarket.getchef.com' ... cookbook 'hostnames'
Example
Run via a role - roles/base.rb
name 'base' description 'Standard Sequoia setup' run_list( 'recipe[hostnames::default]', ... ) default_attributes( set_fqdn: '*.sequoiacap.com', hostname_cookbook: { use_node_ip: true }, ... )
Attributes
-
node['set_fqdn']- FQDN to set.
The asterisk character will be replaced with node.name. This way,
you can add this to base role:
default_attributes :set_fqdn => '*.project-domain.com'
and have node set its FQDN and hostname based on its chef node name
(which is provided on chef-client first run's command line).
node['hostname_cookbook']['use_node_ip']-- when true
sets the hostname tonode["ipaddress"]in/etc/hosts(default:false)node['hostname_cookbook']['hostsfile_ip']-- IP used in
/etc/hoststo correctly set FQDN (default:127.0.1.1)
Recipes
hostnames::default-- will set node's FQDN to value ofset_fqdnattribute,
and hostname to its host part (up to first dot).hostnames::vmware-- sets hostname automatically using vmtoolsd.
You do not need to setnode["set_fqdn"].
