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.

kickstart Cookbook

Build Status
Cookbook Version

Creates an apache vhost and serves a very basic kickstart file.

Requirements

Platforms

  • RHEL/CentOS/Scientific/Amazon/Oracle

Chef

  • Chef 11+

Cookbooks

  • apache2

Attributes

  • kickstart['rootpw'] - set the root password. Use an encrypted string[1].
  • kickstart['virtual_host_name'] - set the ServerName for apache2 vhost.
  • kickstart['mirror_url'] - set the full URL to the "CentOS" directory w/ the rpms to install.

Ruby way to encrypt

Usage

You'll almost certainly want to edit ks.cfg.erb to suit your environment. As is, the provided template is used as a minimal fast install for creating virtual machines to run CentOS 5. Of particular note, the following should definitely be changed:

  • url - mirrors.kernel.org is usually fast for me, but maybe not for you.
  • network - change the hostname.
  • rootpw - this is an attribute, so you can change it by modifying the server. Use the encrypted password!

Storage / disks should probably be customized, as well as firewall rules, SELinux policy, and the package list.

The %post section will install Chef via Matthew Kent's RPMs, per the Chef Wiki instructions.

To use the recipe on a system that will be the kickstart server,

include_recipe "kickstart::server"
