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.

Usage

Adding the cookbook

Add it as a dependency to your wrapper cookbook.

Configuration

The cookbook provides a couple attributes that help you to configure ssmtp via a role's default_attributes.

Here's an example role:

  name 'mail_server'
  description "Installs mail related applications."
  # List of recipes and roles to apply. Requires Chef 0.8, earlier versions use 'recipes()'.
  run_list(
    'recipe[ssmtp]'
  )
  # Attributes applied if the node doesn't have it set already.
  default_attributes(
    'ssmtp' => {
      'root' => 'user@example.com',
      'rewrite_domain' => 'example.com',
      'mailhub_name' => 'smtp.example.com'
    }
  )
  # Attributes applied no matter what the node has set already.
  #override_attributes(
  #)

For a full list of attributes please consult ./attributes/default.rb.

Authentication

By default this cookbook will use authentication. If you are relying on connecting to your mailhub without providing credentials disable authentication all together by setting auth_enabled to false.

The cookbook provides an attribute called credential_method which defines whether authentication credentials are provided in a crypted data bag or via plain text. It defaults to the more secure crypto data bag method.

Available options are:

  • data_bag
  • plain
Creating the data bag
 $ knife data bag create --secret-file .chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret mail ssmtp
 Created data_bag[mail]
 Created data_bag_item[ssmtp]

 $ mkdir -p data_bags/mail
 $ knife data bag show mail ssmtp -F json > data_bags/mail/ssmtp.json
Viewing the data bag
 $ knife data bag show --secret-file .chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret mail ssmtp
 id:        ssmtp
 password:  foobar
 username:  user@example.com

 $ knife data bag show --secret-file .chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret -F json mail ssmtp
 {
    "username": "user@example.com",
    "id": "ssmtp",
    "password": "foobar"
 }

Development

We have written unit tests using chefspec and integration tests in serverspec executed via test-kitchen. Much of the tooling around this cookbook is exposed via guard and test kitchen, so it is highly recommended to learn more about those tools. The easiest way to get started is to install the Chef Development Kit

Running tests

The following commands will run the tests:

chef exec bundle install
chef exec rubocop
chef exec foodcritic .
chef exec rspec
chef exec kitchen test default-ubuntu-1404
chef exec kitchen test default-centos-70

The above will do ruby style (rubocop) and cookbook style (foodcritic) checks followed by rspec unit tests ensuring proper cookbook operation. Integration tests will be run next on two separate linux platforms (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Precise 64-bit and CentOS 7.0). Please run the tests on any pull requests that you are about to submit and write tests for defects or new features to ensure backwards compatibility and a stable cookbook that we can all rely upon.

Running tests continuously with guard

This cookbook is also setup to run the checks while you work via the guard gem.

bundle install
bundle exec guard start
