How to use the cookbook

Set the version of chef waiter to be installed in your environment files.
Set any configuration values you want.
Turn on the install toggle.
Include chef-waiter in your cookbook or runlist.

See below for attributes.

Configuring the cookbook

Downloading Chef Waiter

Chef waiter is downloaded from Github releases. It is also built using travis. This requies this cookbook to constract the URL when downloading with the version and build number.

These attributes do this.

Attribute	Type	Example value
`node['chef-waiter']['version']`	String	"1.0.15"
`node['chef-waiter']['travis_build']`	Integer	38
`node['chef-waiter']['url_base']`	String	This is the git releases page. Change only if you fork the project.

Feature toggles

The cookbook works using the prinicple of feature toggles.
The following feature toggles are available to you.

Attribute	Type	Example value	Description
`node['chef-waiter']['feature']['enabled']`	Bool	true	Run the code to install and remove chef waiter.
`node['chef-waiter']['feature']['manage_firewall']`	Bool	true	Run the code to add or remove the firewall rules for chef waiter.
`node['chef-waiter']['feature']['deploy_config_file']`	Bool	true	Deploy an optional configuration files with supplied values.
`node['chef-waiter']['remove']`	Bool	false	Install or remove the chef waiter.

Where does it go

The cookbook uses the following values to download and install the chef waiter.

When downloading the files the cookbook tries to tidy up after itself and remove any temp files at the end of the run.

Attribute	Type	Example value	Description
`node['chef-waiter']['config_dir']`	String	"/etc/chefwaiter" or "c:/Program Files/chefwaiter"	Where to put the configuration file.
`node['chef-waiter']['binary_path']`	String	"/usr/local/bin" or "c:/Program Files/chefwaiter"	Where to put the binary.
`node['chef-waiter']['logs_path']`	String	"/var/log/chefwaiter" or "c:/logs/chefwaiter"	Where should chef waiter store log files.
`node['chef-waiter']['download_directory']`	String	"/tmp" or "c:/temp"	where should chef download the files to while installing.

Configuration file values

All values under the node['chef-waiter']['config_file'] attribute will be pushed into the configuration file.

Chef makes no attempt to valid these values, so make sure they are correct.

Example:

This:

node['chef-waiter']['config_file']['state_table_size'] = 40
node['chef-waiter']['config_file']['periodic_chef_runs'] = true
node['chef-waiter']['config_file']['run_interval'] = 30

Will equal this:

{
  "state_table_size": 40,
  "periodic_chef_runs": true,
  "run_interval": 30
}

Supported Operating Systems

The cookbook tested to support the following OSs.

Windows 2012
CentOS 6
CentOS 7
Ubuntu 18.04

It could work on other OSs but has not been tested.
