yum-percona Cookbook

The yum-percona cookbook takes over management of the default
repositoryids used with the official Percona repositories. It allows
attribute manipulation of the percona yum channel.

Requirements

Platforms

• RHEL/CentOS and derivatives
• Fedora

Chef

• Chef 11+

Cookbooks

• yum version 3.2.0 or higher

Attributes

The following attributes are set by default

default['yum']['percona']['description'] = 'Percona MySQL and tools repository'
default['yum']['percona']['baseurl'] = "http://repo.percona.com/centos/6/os/$basearch/"
default['yum']['percona']['gpgkey'] = 'http://www.percona.com/downloads/RPM-GPG-KEY-percona'
default['yum']['percona']['gpgcheck'] = true
default['yum']['percona']['enabled'] = true

Recipes

• default - Walks through node attributes and feeds a yum_resource parameters. The following is an example a resource generated by the recipe during compilation.

  yum_repository 'percona' do
    baseurl 'http://repo.percona.com/centos/6/os/$basearch/'
    description 'Percona MySQL and tools repository'
    enabled true
    gpgcheck true
    gpgkey 'http://www.percona.com/downloads/RPM-GPG-KEY-percona'
  end

Usage Example

To disable the Percona repository through a Role or Environment definition

default_attributes(
  :yum => {
    :percona => {
      :enabled => {
        false
       }
     }
   }
 )

To enable the Percona repository with a wrapper cookbook, place
the following in a recipe:

node.default['yum']['percona']['enabled'] = true
include_recipe 'yum-percona'

More Examples

Point the base and updates repositories at an internally hosted server.

node.default['yum']['percona']['enabled'] = true
node.default['yum']['percona']['mirrorlist'] = nil
node.default['yum']['percona']['baseurl'] = 'https://internal.example.com/centos/6/os/x86_64'
node.default['yum']['percona']['sslverify'] = false

include_recipe 'yum-percona'
