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.

BagConfig

Making data bag entries the "last mile" of attribute overrides.

What's it do?

This cookbook allows attributes to be provided via data bag entries. It slips
functionality into recipes seamlessly to provide consistent functionality across
all recipes, not just those explicitly built for it.

Repository

https://github.com/heavywater/chef-bag_config

Basic Usage

Access attributes the same way as always:

  • node[:my_cookbook][:my_attribute]

Naming scheme

Data bags

The name of the data bag used will correspond to the name of the base attribute
key used within a cookbook. For example, the base attribute key for the munin
cookbook is munin thus the data bag name used will be munin. However, the
chef-client cookbook uses the base attribute key of chef_client so the data
bag name it uses will be chef_client.

The naming of the data bag entries are based on the node name with a config_
prefix. Given a node named lucid, the data bag entry id would be config_lucid.
Periods are replaced with underscores within the node name for generating the
data bag entry name. Thus, a node named lucid.example.com would have a data
bag entry id of config_lucid_example_com.

Quick Ref:

cookbook: chef-client
base key: chef_client
node name: test1.box
data bag name: chef_client
data bag entry id: config_test1_box

Advanced Usage

Custom Data Bag

Example: Use the myconfig data bag to supply configuration entries for the
nagios attribute:

  • node[:bag_config][:nagios] = {:bag => :myconfig}

Custom Data Bag Entry

Example: Use custom_config data bag entry id under the nagios
base attribute key:

  • node[:bag_config][:nagios] = {:item => 'custom_config'}

Encrypted Data Bag Entry

Encrypted data bags are supported when the encrypted attribute is set:

  • `node[:bag_config][:nagios] = {:encrypted => true}

This will require the secret being provided either inline:

  • node[:bag_config][:nagios] = {:secret => 'my_secret'}

or as a path to the secret file on the node:

  • node[:bag_config][:nagios] = {:secret => '/etc/config_secret.file'}

Allowing/Restricting lookups

By default, the every base attribute key used will invoke an attempt
to load a configuration data bag item related to that key. To help
reduce the number of lookups required on a run, whitelisting and blacklisting
on keys is available:

  • node[:bag_config][:bag_whitelist] = [:nagios, :djbdns]
  • node[:bag_config][:bag_blacklist] = [:nginx, :apache]

NOTE: The blacklist will always have precedence. This means that if an item
has been specified in the whitelist and is also found in the blacklist, it will
be blacklisted.

Compatibility Note

This version is incompatible with the 1.x versions. It removes all custom methods from Recipe
instances and instead proxies the attribute requests via the node, so no modifications are
required for full support.
