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]`
|
|
|
|
In your role you'll likely want to set the version (it defaults
|
|
to the 0.10.10 version of Chef):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
override_attributes(
|
|
:omnibus_updater => {
|
|
:version => '10.16.2'
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It can also uninstall Chef from the system Ruby installation
|
|
if you tell it to:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
override_attributes(
|
|
:omnibus_updater => {
|
|
:remove_chef_system_gem => true
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
If you are using a Chef version earlier than 10.12.0 you may want
|
|
to take a look at the chef_gem cookbook to ensure gems are going
|
|
where expected.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The default recipe will install the omnibus package based
|
|
on system information but you can override that by using
|
|
the `install_via` attribute which accepts: deb, rpm or script.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Auto version expansion
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Versions for the omnibus installer are defined as: x.y.z-n If the `:version` attribute only provides
|
|
x.y.z the `n` value will be automatically filled in with the latest available version.
|
|
|
|
Auto version searching
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Using the `:version_search` attribute, the latest stable version of the omnibus installer will
|
|
be installed automatically as they become available.
|
|
|
|
Release clients
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Release clients can be installed via the auto-installation using `:allow_release_clients` attribute.
|
|
|
|
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.
