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.
