OpenSSH Windows cookbook

This cookbook can be used to install openssh server on windows nodes

Simple usage

Define the variables

default['openssh-win']['version'] = '7.9.0.0p1-Beta' # default: 7.9.0.0p1-Beta

and include the openssh-win::default recipe. This will * download and unzip OpenSSH for windows to C:\Program Files\OpenSSH-Win64 * add it to the path, * Create the services for sshd and ssh-agent * start the sshd and ssh-agent service s * configure the sshd and ssh-agent services to start automatically * Create a incoming firewall rule for port 22

Usage with wrapper cookbooks

a little more control can be leveraged using the openssh_win resource block Usage example to install openssh:

openssh_win 'OpenSSH' do
  version '7.9.0.0p1-Beta' # only needs to be specified in recourse name is not a version
  action :install 
  path 'C:\openssh' # Optional, default is 'C:\Program Files', the subfolder OpenSSH-Win64 will always be created
  add_to_path false # Optional, default is true
  startup_type :manual # Optional, values can be :disabled, :manual or :automatic (default)
  start_service false # Optional, default is true
  add_firewall_rule false # Optional, default is true
end

Usage example to remove openssh:

openssh_win '7.9.0.0p1-Beta' do
  action :remove
  path 'C:\openssh' # This must match the path that was passed during install
