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.

Users cookbook

Scope:

Chef cookbook to manage users.

Supported Platforms:

  • Ubuntu 16.04 (tested with Kitchen)
  • Ubuntu 14.04 was not tested however no ubuntu 16.04-specific commands are used here so it will probably work.
  • CentOS 7 (tested with Kitchen)

USAGE:

  • Clone this cookbook
  • Include simple_users::default in any of your recipes, roles or environments.

Add Users:

Add a block to the default attribute containing each of the following to create a user:
- name - Username.
- fullName - Full name of your new user (may contain spaces).
- passHash - Shadow-file hash of the desired password.
- sshPubKey - ssh public key string to add to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
- action - create
- sudo - yes/no. Adding/removing the user from the sudoers file (only supported on Ubuntu for now)

Example of the default attribute file:

default['simple_users']['users'] = [
    {
        'name' => 'usernam01',
        'fullName' => 'User01 Name',
        'passHash' => 'A_Long_HASH_String...',
        'sshPubKey' => 'ssh-rsa YourSSHPublicKey...',
        'myAction' => 'create',
        'sudo' => 'yes'
    },
    {
        'name' => 'usernam02',
        'fullName' => 'User02 Name',
        'passHash' => 'A_Long_HASH_String...',
        'sshPubKey' => 'ssh-rsa YourSSHPublicKey...',
        'myAction' => 'create',
        'sudo' => 'no'
    }
]

Remove Users:

Add all the entries as mentioned above but put "remove" as the value of myAction.
ruby
{
'name' => 'usernam03',
'fullName' => 'User03 Name',
'passHash' => 'A_Long_HASH_String...',
'sshPubKey' => 'ssh-rsa YourSSHPublicKey...',
'myAction' => 'remove'
}

Removing Users from Sudoers

Put 'no' in the 'sudo' section of your user.

Note that the above must be a part of the same default['simple_users']['users'] array.
