Usage

Stash Server Data Bag

For securely overriding attributes on Hosted Chef, create a stash/stash encrypted data bag with the model below. Chef Solo can override the same attributes with a stash/stash unencrypted data bag of the same information.

required:
* ['database']['type'] "hsqldb" (not recommended), "mysql", "postgresql", or "sqlserver"
* ['database']['host'] FQDN or "localhost" (localhost automatically
installs ['database']['type'] server)
* ['database']['name'] Name of Stash database
* ['database']['user'] Stash database username
* ['database']['password'] Stash database username password

optional:
* ['backup_client']['user'] Stash administrative username for backup client
* ['backup_client']['password'] Stash administrative password for backup client
* ['database']['port'] Database port, standard database port for
['database']['type']
* ['plugin']['KEY'] plugin.KEY=VALUE to be inserted in stash-config.properties
* ['tomcat']['keyAlias'] Tomcat HTTPS Java Keystore keyAlias, defaults to self-signed certifcate
* ['tomcat']['keystoreFile'] Tomcat HTTPS Java Keystore keystoreFile, self-signed certificate
* ['tomcat']['keystorePass'] Tomcat HTTPS Java Keystore keystorePass, self-signed certificate

Repeat for other Chef environments as necessary. Example:

{
  "id": "stash"
  "development": {
    "database": {
      "type": "postgresql",
      "host": "localhost",
      "name": "stash",
      "user": "stash",
      "password": "stash_db_password",
    },
    "tomcat": {
      "keyAlias": "not_tomcat",
      "keystoreFile": "/etc/pki/java/wildcard_cert.jks",
      "keystorePass": "not_changeit"
    }
  }
}

Stash Server Default Installation

• Optionally use (un)encrypted data bag or set attributes
  • knife data bag create stash
  • knife data bag edit stash stash --secret-file=path/to/secret
• Add recipe[stash] to your node's run list.

Stash Backup Client Installation

• Optionally use (un)encrypted data bag or set attributes
  • knife data bag create stash
  • knife data bag edit stash stash --secret-file=path/to/secret
• Add recipe[stash]['backup_client'] to your node's run list.

Stash Backup Client Cron Installation

• Optionally use (un)encrypted data bag or set attributes
  • knife data bag create stash
  • knife data bag edit stash stash --secret-file=path/to/secret
• Add recipe[stash]['backup_client_cron'] to your node's run list.

Code Deployment From Stash

• Ensure your node has Git installed
• Create a stash_deploy_key with the SSH private key contents (using \n for newlines) of a Stash user with permissions to your repository.

For example:

stash_deploy_key "deployment_user" do
  key "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEpQIB..."
end

• In this example, now you can either directly use the ssh_wrapper available at #{node['stash']['install_path']}/deployment_user_ssh_wrapper.sh or use the stash_deploy LWRP.

Such as:

stash_deploy "/opt/shibboleth-idp/conf" do
  deploy_key "deployment_user"
  project "SHIBIDP"
  repository "configuration"
end

Testing and Development

Here's how you can quickly get testing or developing against the cookbook thanks to Vagrant and Berkshelf.

vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf
vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus
git clone git://github.com/bflad/chef-stash.git
cd chef-stash
vagrant up BOX # BOX being centos5, centos6, debian7, fedora18, fedora19, fedora20, freebsd9, ubuntu1204, ubuntu1210, ubuntu1304, or ubuntu1310

You need to add the following hosts entries:

• 192.168.50.10 stash-centos-6
• 192.168.50.10 stash-ubuntu-1204
• (etc.)

The running Stash server is accessible from the host machine:

CentOS 6 Box:
* Web UI: https://stash-centos-6/
* Stash SSH: ssh://git@stash-centos-6:7999/

Ubuntu 12.04 Box:
* Web UI: https://stash-ubuntu-1204/
* Stash SSH: ssh://git@stash-ubuntu-1204:7999/

You can then SSH into the running VM using the vagrant ssh BOX command.

The VM can easily be stopped and deleted with the vagrant destroy command. Please see the official Vagrant documentation for a more in depth explanation of available commands.
