Usage
Recipes
system::default
Includes system::update_package_list
, system::timezone
and system::hostname
recipes only.
system::hostname
When using resources that reference node['fqdn']
in variables or attribute values, note that you will
need to lazy load to get the new hostname that is being set.
Use with variables:
template '/tmp/foobar.txt' do
source 'use_fqdn_in_variable.erb'
variables lazy {
{
fqdn: node['fqdn'],
foo: bar
}
}
end
Use with a resource attribute:
log 'lazy_log_fqdn' do
message lazy { node['fqdn'] }
level :debug
end
system::install_packages
Installs a list of system packages as specified in the node['system']['packages']['install']
attribute.
Will also install packages provided at compile time from within node['system']['packages']['install_compile_time']
.
system::uninstall_packages
Uninstalls a list of system packages as specified in the node['system']['packages']['uninstall']
attribute.
Will also uninstall packages provided at compile time from within node['system']['packages']['uninstall_compile_time']
.
system::reboot
Attempts to gracefully reboot the operating system.
system::shutdown
Attempts to gracefully shutdown the operating system.
system::timezone
Sets the timezone of the system.
system::update_package_list
Updates the local package manager's package list.
system::upgrade_packages
Upgrades all installed packages of the local package manager.
