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.

confd-cookbook

Application cookbook which installs and configures confd.

It is often the case that application configuration files must be
dynamically generated, distributed to a set of machines and a service
must be kicked to reload the changes. This faculty can be made to work
with Chef, but using confd offers the ability for an immediate
configuration change and subsequent bounce of a service across your
fleet.

Basic Usage

The default recipe writes a basic configuration out for confd using
node attributes that can be modified by changing any of the keys and
values in the node['confd']['config'] hash. If the configuration
changes on disk Chef will kick the confd service which is running
as a service.

The [confd_service custom resource](libraries/confd_service.rb)
provides basic capabilities for a binary or a package
installation. By default the binary is downloaded and installed from
the confd GitHub project's release page.

Advanced Usage

There are two additional custom resources which provide the means for
writing out confd templates and executing confd ad-hoc instead of
as a service. The former custom resource assumes that confd has been
installed separately as only the service resource performs the actual
package or binary installation.

The confd-iptables cookbook provides an excellent example of
advanced usage of the custom resource for writing out confd templates.
An example of using that custom resource can be seen below, but make
sure to take a look at the confd-iptables cookbook default recipe
for the latest.

confd_template '/etc/iptables/confd' do
  template_source node['confd-iptables']['template_source']
  prefix node['confd-iptables']['prefix']
  keys node.tags.map { |t| "/groups/#{t}" }

  check_command "/sbin/iptables-restore -n -t < #{path}"
  reload_command "/sbin/iptables-restore -n < #{path}"

  notifies :restart, 'confd_service[confd]', :delayed
end
