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.

<a name="title"></a> Razor Chef Cookbook

Build Status

<a name="description"></a> Description

Chef cookbook to install and manage Razor, a power control,
provisioning, and management application designed to deploy both bare-metal
and virtual computer resources. An LWRP is provided to manage OS and
micro kernel images.

<a name="usage"></a> Usage

Include recipe[razor] in your run_list to install the Razor service and its
dependencies. If you wish to modify or alter the details of the installation
(i.e. using a different mongodb cookbook, installing nodejs from source, etc.),
then compose a custom run_list of the child recipes described
below.

<a name="requirements"></a> Requirements

<a name="requirements-chef"></a> Chef

Tested on 10.14.4 and 11.2 but newer and older version should work just fine. File an
issue if this isn't the case.

<a name="requirements-platform"></a> Platform

The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the
recipes run on these platforms without error:

  • ubuntu (10.04/12.04/12.10)

<a name="requirements-cookbooks"></a> Cookbooks

This cookbook depends on the following external cookbooks:

<a name="installation"></a> Installation

Depending on the situation and use case there are several ways to install
this cookbook. All the methods listed below assume a tagged version release
is the target, but omit the tags to get the head of development. A valid
Chef repository structure like the Opscode repo is also assumed.

<a name="installation-community"></a> From the Opscode Community Site

To install this cookbook from the Opscode Community Site, use the knife
command:

knife cookbook site install razor

<a name="installation-berkshelf"></a> Using Berkshelf

Berkshelf is a cookbook dependency manager and development
workflow assistant. To install Berkshelf:

cd chef-repo
gem install berkshelf
berks init

To use the Opscode Community Site version:

echo "cookbook 'razor'" >> Berksfile
berks install

Or to reference the GitHub version:

repo="bbg-cookbooks/razor"
latest_release=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/$repo/git/refs/tags \
| ruby -rjson -e '
  j = JSON.parse(STDIN.read);
  puts j.map { |t| t["ref"].split("/").last }.sort.last
')
cat >> Berksfile < 'git://github.com/$repo.git', :branch => '$latest_release'
END_OF_BERKSFILE
berks install

<a name="installation-librarian"></a> Using Librarian-Chef

Librarian-Chef is a bundler for your Chef cookbooks.
To install Librarian-Chef:

cd chef-repo
gem install librarian
librarian-chef init

IP address to which the Razor web services are bound.

The default is set to node['ipaddress'].

<a name="attributes-checkin-interval"></a> checkin_interval

The micro kernel checkin interval in seconds.

The default is 60.

<a name="attributes-persist-mode"></a> persist_mode

The persistence mode that Razor will use. Currently the two supported values are "mongo" and "postgres".

The default is "mongo".

Note: The is some upstream Razor code changes needed to support PostgreSQL
authentication via a username and password. In the meantime, your mileage may
vary when using the "postgres" persistence mode.

<a name="attributes-persist-host"></a> persist_host

The hostname or IP adrress of the persistence service.

The default is "127.0.0.1".

<a name="attributes-persist-port"></a> persist_port

The port number of the persistence service.

The default depends on which persist_mode is
selected:

  • "mongo": the value set will be the value of node['mongodb']['port'] if set and falling back to 27017.
  • "postgres": the value set will be the value of node['postgresql']['config']['port'] if set and falling back to 5432.

<a name="attributes-persist-username"></a> persist_username

The username used when authenticating to the persistence service.

The default depends on which persist_mode is
selected:

  • "mongo": a value is not set as the default localhost server does not require authentication.
  • "postgres": defaults to "razor".

<a name="attributes-persist-password"></a> persist_password

The password used when authenticating to the persistence service.

The default depends on which persist_mode is
selected:

  • "mongo": a value is not set as the default localhost server does not require authentication.

The connection timeout (in secondss) used when communicating with the
persistence service.

The default is 10.

selected:

  • "mongo": defaults to true.
  • "postgres": defaults to false.

<a name="attributes-postgres-local-server"></a> postgres/local_server

<a name="attributes-images"></a> images

A Hash of Razor images to be added. The hash key will correspond to the image
name attribute and the value will be a hash of other attributes to be fed

<a name="lwrps-image-examples"></a> Examples

Adding A Micro Kernel Image
razor_image "rz_mk_prod-image.0.9.1.6" do
  type      "mk"
  url       "http://mirror.example.com/images/rz_mk_prod-image.0.9.1.6.iso"
  checksum  "aljdflkjflajkf..."
  action    :add
end

razor_image "rz_mk_prod-image.0.9.1.6" do
  type  "mk"
  url   "http://mirror.example.com/images/rz_mk_prod-image.0.9.1.6.iso"
end

Note: the add action is default, so the second example is a more common
usage.

Adding An Operating System Image
razor_image "precise64" do
  type      "os"
  url       "http://mirror.example.com/images/ubuntu-amd64-12.04.iso"
  checksum  "lkjdfoidadba..."
  version   "12.04"
  iso_path  "/data/razor_images"
end

razor_image "sl64-6.3" do
  url     "http://mirror.example.com/images/scientific-amd64-6.3.iso"
  version 6.3
end

Note: the default for type is "os" so this can be omitted in most cases.
The version attribute can also be a Float.
