OmnibusUpdater
|
|
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update your omnibus! This cookbook can install the omnibus
|
|
|
|
Chef package into your system if you are currently running
|
|
|
|
via gem install, and it can keep your omnibus install up
|
|
|
|
to date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add the recipe to your run list and specify what version should
|
|
|
|
be installed on the node:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`knife node run_list add recipe[omnibus_updater]`
|
|
|
|
|
2013-07-05 10:56:57 -04:00
|
|
|
In your role you'll likely want to set the version. It defaults
|
|
|
|
to nothing, and will install the latest..

|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
override_attributes(
|
|
|
|
:omnibus_updater => {
|
2013-07-05 10:56:57 -04:00
|
|
|
:version => '11.4.0'
|
2013-02-07 14:09:57 -05:00
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It can also uninstall Chef from the system Ruby installation
|
|
|
|
if you tell it to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
override_attributes(
|
|
|
|
:omnibus_updater => {
|
|
|
|
:remove_chef_system_gem => true
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
```

Chef Killing

|
|
By default the omnibus updater will kill the chef instance by raising and exception.
|
|
|
|
You can turn this off using the `kill_chef_on_upgrade` attribute. It is not
|
|
|
|
recommended to turn this off. Internal chef libraries may change, move, or no
|
|
|
|
longer exist. The currently running instance can encounter unexpected states because
|
|
|
|
of this. To prevent this, the updater will attempt to kill the Chef instance so
|
|
|
|
that it can be restarted in a normal state.

Disable
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable the updater you can set the `disabled`
|
|
|
|
attribute to true. This might be useful if the cookbook is added
|
|
|
|
to a role but should then be skipped for example on a Chef server.
