Hi,

Has anyone modified their nginx recipe to use HttpRealIpModule? If so, would they mind sharing how they did it?

Thanks!

I am trying to deploy a complex distributed application with Chef. There are two main recipe stage: – installation: which simply installs tarballs and rpm dependencies etc – configuration: queries the chef server with “search (:node, "role:component1”)“ and attempts to get IP address of the OTHER components in order to complete configuration

The problem is: the node attribute data does not update in the server after the installation recipe, so the configuration recipe can not get the data it needs in order to complete!

I have an overall run_list which looks like this:

  "run_list": [
    "role[component1]",
    "recipe[component1::config]"
  ]

and a role defined in JSON which contains this:

"recipe[component1::install]"

To my mind, when the role[component1] part completes (ie when the recipe[component1::install] completes), the node attributes data should be updated, and reflect that the node now has fulfilled the role that was defined in the JSON file.

But no – Chef wants to run both ::install and ::config before it updates any node attribute data. So – how do I force Chef to update the node attributes after just the ::install recipe, so I can get the ::config recipe to run successfully?

Hi, in the new vagrant 1.1.+
they remove install vagrant from gem

and another thing also , they add vmware and aws into provider,

is there any plan when the test kitchen support this change?

Best regards

Hi

I’m writing a cookbook to automate the installation of a particular piece of software. The only way to obtain it is to use CVS (with a username and password) to check out a few named modules.

Is there a way to do this with Chef? The docs for the Deploy Resource only list SVN and git as providers.

Obviously I could write a bash script to execute the CVS commands, but this seems a little inelegant.

Thanks

Glenn.

Hay,

i’m a chef user and of course cookbook developer.

metadata.rb has many nice fields – but how do i add/change the “Homepage” link on a cookbook community website here at opscode automatically?

Example: http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/mysql => Homepage:

Hi,

I have some troubles importing attributes at first run with chef-clietn 11 for windows. I have a json file “c:/chef/first-boot.json” with similar content

{“company”:{“company_name”:“My Company”},“run_list”:[“role[server_role]”]}

I start the client with this line

chef-client -c c:/chef/client.rb -j c:/chef/first-boot.json

I have a role, which is applied correctly and all recipes for that role are started to compile and run. However, if I want to use the “company” attribute at the first run, the attribute is missing (for example node[:company][:company_name] gives me “NoMethodError”, because node[:company] do not exist). If I do not use this attribute (i.e. all recipes pass trough the first run), the attribute node[:company] appears in the chef server and I can use it on the next run.

This method for first run attributes works well on linux chef-client. There I’m able to use the node[:company] attribute on the first run without any problems.

Am I doing something wrong or there is some limitation for chef-client for windows?

Here is my log from the console

chef-client -c c:/chef/client.rb -j c:/chef/first-boot.json -E dev INFO: Chef 11.4.0 INFO: Client key c:/chef/client.pem is not present – registering INFO: Setting the run_list to [“role[server_role]”] from JSON INFO: Run List is [role[server_role]] INFO: Run List expands to [testbook::compnay_set] INFO: Starting Chef Run for node01 INFO: Running start handlers INFO: Start handlers complete.
