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.

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 to node["ipaddress"] in /etc/hosts (default: false)

  • node['hostname_cookbook']['hostsfile_ip'] -- IP used in
    /etc/hosts to correctly set FQDN (default: 127.0.1.1)

Recipes

  • hostnames::default -- will set node's FQDN to value of set_fqdn attribute,
    and hostname to its host part (up to first dot).

  • hostnames::vmware -- sets hostname automatically using vmtoolsd.
    You do not need to set node["set_fqdn"].

Contributing

  • Fork.

  • Make more awesome.

  • Pull request.

  • I will bump version and run: knife cookbook site share hostnames "Networking" -o ../
