Play Cookbook
Installs Play 2.2+ dist binary
(created by the dist or universal:packageZipTarball task)
and configures it as a service.
It is recommended that you include an application.conf.erb
template file within the distribution artifact to
configure environment specific variables like application secret.
To include the .erb file in your distribution artifact, copy application.conf
file and paste it as
application.conf.erb
in the same directory. Then replace the environment specific values with variables.
For example, replace play.crypto.secret = "changeme"
with play.crypto.secret = "<%= @secret %>"
in
application.conf.erb
file, then pass the variable and its value using conf_variables
attribute. The variable names in template must match variable names passed into conf_variables
.
So if application.conf.erb
contained:
play.crypto.secret = "<%= @secret %>"
And Play recipe was called with:
play 'servicename' do source 'https://example.com/dist/myapp-1.0.0.zip' conf_variables( secret: 'abcdefghijk' ) action :install end
This would then result in creating/replacing application.conf
file with the variables replaced:
play.crypto.secret = "abcdefghijk"
Also Note
- The
conf_template
path can be external from distribution artifact - Leaving
conf_variable
empty will skip template processing and use configuration defined inconf_path

Usage
See play_test
cookbook for an example using play cookbook to install distribution artifacts as a service.
Attributes
The attributes descriptions are for both resource and recipe e.g., servicename
or node['play']['servicename']
.
-
servicename
- Service name to run as. Defaults to name of resource block. -
source
- URI to archive (zip, tar.gz, or tgz) or directory path to exploded archive. -
checksum
- The SHA-256 checksum of the file. Use to prevent resource from re-downloading a file. When local file matches the checksum, the chef-client will not download it. -
project_name
- Used to identify start script executable. Defaults to project name derived from standalone distribution filename, if not provided. -
version
- Version of application. Defaults to version derived from standalone distribution filename, if not provided. Not needed if source is a directory. -
user
- User to run service as. Defaultplay
. -
args
- Array of additional configuration arguments. Default[]
. -
conf_variables
- Hash of application configuration variables required by .erb template. Leave empty to not process conf_template and use application configuration defined in conf_path. Default{}
. -
conf_template
- Path to configuration template. Path can be relative, or if the template file is outside dist path, absolute. If template file not found, no template processing will occur. Defaultconf/application.conf.erb
. -
conf_path
- Path to application configuration file. Path can be relative, or if the config file is outside standalone distribution, absolute. Defaultconf/application.conf
. -
pid_dir
- The pid directory. Default/var/run/play
.
Examples
Examples below are using resource, but you can use the default recipe to do the same thing as well.
Install a standalone distribution as service from local file and generate application.conf
play 'servicename' do source 'file:///var/chef/cache/myapp-1.0.0.zip' conf_variables( secret: 'mysecret', langs: %w(en fr) ) args([ '-Dhttp.port=8080', '-J-Xms128m', '-J-Xmx512m', '-J-server' ]) action :install end
The application configuration defined in conf_path will be created/replaced by template defined in conf_template.
Install exploded standalone distribution as service and don't generate application.conf
play 'sample_service' do source '/var/local/mysample' project_name 'sample' args([ '-Dhttp.port=8080', '-J-Xms128m', '-J-Xmx512m', '-J-server' ]) action :install end
Since no conf_variables are passed, the application configuration defined in conf_path will be used.
