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.

service_factory cookbook

Cookbook for Opscode Chef.

http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/service_factory

Fully functional … documentation WIP, and example usages coming soon !!

Description

Generate services using native system features with the service_factory LWRPs.

Your recipe provides the configuration details, and the necessary files are generated to create a SysV or Upstart service, depending on what each OS prefers. (SystemD coming soon!!)

Supported Service Managers

  • SysV (init.d, chkconfig, etc.)
  • Upstart (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)

Supported Operating Systems
The following are supported and verified through test-kitchen automated integration testing.

  • Centos
  • Ubuntu

Default Service Managers

Unless otherwise specified in the service_factory global config, the default service manager is SysV, and
others are selected conditionally based on the distribution and version.

You can customize these defaults by adjusting the 'platform_map' node attribute, described below.

Requirements

Cookbooks:: unix_bin , resource_masher , run_action_now

Resource attributes:: service_desc , exec , run_user , run_group

Simple Examples (More coming soon..)

There is a full attribute listing towards end of README.

** Basic service (required elements) **

service_factory "my_service" do
  service_desc "My Service"
  exec "/opt/myapp/bin/run.sh"
  run_user "nobody"
  run_group "nobody"
  action :create                  # can also :enable and :start here, use array
end

** Service with arguments or environment variables **

service_factory "my_service" do
  service_desc "My Service"
  exec "/opt/myapp/bin/run.sh"
  exec_args "--port 1234"         # can also be an array of strings
  env_variables({                 # variables must be in a hash
    :SERVICE_VARIABLE => "value"
  })
  run_user "nobody"
  run_group "nobody"
  action :create
end

** Forked service **

It's really import to set the proper flag if the service forks.
(Meaning that the script you're calling returns immediately and the service runs in the background.)

service_factory "my_service" do
  service_desc "My Service"
  exec "/opt/myapp/bin/run.sh"
  exec_forks true
  pid_file "/opt/myapp/var/run/myapp.pid"
  run_user "nobody"
  run_group "nobody"
  action :create
end

** Notifications **

The service_factory resource can receive all standard service signals. It also creates a stock service resource you can notify as well.

some_resource "abc" do
  notifies :start, "service_factory[my_service]"
end

some_resource "abc" do
  notifies :start, "service[my_service]"
end

RESOURCE ACTIONS

Recipes

This cookbook only provides LWRPs, no recipes are included.

Attributes

The following default node attributes govern the platform selection.
You may customize the operation by appending/overwriting these in your node configuration.

  • default["service_factory"]["platform_map"]["default"] = "init"
  • default["service_factory"]["platform_map"]["ubuntu"]["default"] = "upstart"

Test-Kitchen

This package is test-kitchen enabled and automatically tested against:

  • CentOS 5 and 6
  • Ubuntu 10 and 12

A successful test appears as follows:

-----> Running bats test suite
       1..6
       ok 1 non-forked service
       ok 2 forked service
       ok 3 sighup restart (non-forked)
       ok 4 sighup restart (forked)
       ok 5 nobody service
       ok 6 deleted service
       Finished verifying  (1m18.10s).
