Media Chef Cookbook

This cookbook will setup the media devices on a server which will ideally act
as a file/media server. Initially it will be used to mount external devices and
add then as NFS shares.

Requirements

This cookbook requires devices to be preformatted to a file system. It will not
format the devices. It will simply mount the specified devices for using as a
file/media server.

For cookbook dependencies/requirements see metadata.rb.

Usage

For setting up the media devices

Prepare the node['media']['devices'] node attribute and use the
media::default or media::mount_devices recipe. There is no need for
specifying the file system types. It is automatically detected and used for
mounting the devices.
```ruby

Prepare the media devices

node.set['media']['devices'] = {
'/dev/sdb1' => '/mnt/videos',
'/dev/sdc1' => '/mnt/movies'
}

Include the recipe

include_recipe "media::default"
```

For setting up the NFS shares

By default the mounted devices mount points are used for setting up the NFS
shares. It can be overridden by setting the node['media']['nfs']['shares']
node attribute. Then run the media::setup_nfs_shares recipe.

Attributes

  • node['media']['devices'] - The media devices to mount
  • node['media']['user'] - The user to be used for media mount points
  • node['media']['group'] - The group to be used for media mount points
  • node['media']['nfs']['shares'] - The NFS shares to setup
  • node['media']['nfs']['network'] - The NFS network address to share with
  • node['media']['nfs']['writable'] - The writeable property of NFS share
  • node['media']['nfs']['sync'] - The sync property of NFS share
  • node['media']['nfs']['options'] - The options to be used for the NFS share

Recipes

media::mount_devices

]
