omnibus_updater cookbook

Build Status Cookbook Version

This cookbook allows you to upgrade the omnibus based Chef install package via Chef. You can run either latest or pin to specific version.

Requirements

Platforms

  • Debian / Ubuntu
  • Mac OS X
  • RHEL (redhat, centos, amazon, scientific, oracle)
  • Solaris
  • SLES / openSUSE
  • Windows

Chef

  • Chef 11+

Cookbooks

  • none

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 nothing, and will install the latest..

override_attributes(
  :omnibus_updater => {
    :version => '11.4.0'
  }
)

It can also uninstall Chef from the system Ruby installation if you tell it to:

override_attributes(
  :omnibus_updater => {
    :remove_chef_system_gem => true
  }
)

Features

Latest Version

Force installation of the latest version regardless of value stored in version attribute by setting the force_latest attribute.

Chef Killing

By default the omnibus updater will kill the chef instance by raising an 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.

Restart chef-client Service

Use the restart_chef_service attribute to restart chef-client if you have it running as a service.

Prerelease

Prereleases can be installed via the auto-installation using prerelease 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.

Prevent Downgrade

If you want to prevent the updater from downgrading chef on a node, you can set the prevent_downgrade attribute to true. This can be useful for testing new versions manually. Note that the always_download attribute takes precedence if set.

Warnings

Windows Support

Windows support is available in versions 1.0.8 and higher; however, we only support Chef Client versions 12.5.1 and below, due to a known bug in 12.6.0. This is reflected in the Windows test suite.

If you would like to wrap this cookbook in order to prevent OmnibusUpdater with version 12.6.0 on Windows, you may do something like the following:

if (node[:chef_packages][:chef][:version] == '12.6.0') && node[:os].downcase.include?('windows')
  Chef::Log.warn 'Omnibus updater cannot upgrade or downgrade a Windows 12.6.0 installation, skipping'
else
  include_recipe 'omnibus_updater'
end
