omnibus Cookbook

Prepares a machine to be an Omnibus builder.

This project is managed by the CHEF Release Engineering team. For more information on the Release Engineering team's contribution, triage, and release process, please consult the CHEF Release Engineering OSS Management Guide.

Announcement

Starting with omnibus cookbook version 5.0.0:

This cookbook requires Chef Infra Client 14 or later

Starting with omnibus cookbook version 4.0.0:

• Chef 11 is no longer supported, since 12.5.1 is required to use chef-ingredient. If needed, you can pin to omnibus version 3.2.x to preserve the old functionality.
• Instead of compiling everything from source in this cookbook, the omnibus-toolchain package will be installed. This package contains patch, bash, make, git, ruby, rubygems, and bundler (built from omnibus-software definitions).

Requirements

This cookbook requires Chef 14+

For a full list of supported platforms and external cookbook requirements, please see the metadata.rb file at the root of the cookbook.

Recipes

The default recipe is the main entrypoint for the cookbook and does the following:

• Ensures all required Omnibus-related directories are created and owned by the build user.
• Ensures a sane build tool-chain is installed and configured
• Ensures the necessary tools to run an Omnibus project (ruby, git, etc) are installed (using the omnibus-toolchain package)
• Includes a platform-specific recipe to apply additional tweaks as appropriate.

All other recipes should be treated as "private" and are not meant to be used individually. They only exist to support the default recipe.

Attributes

Attribute	Default	Description
build_user	omnibus	The user to execute Omnibus builds as
base_dir	Windows: C:/omnibus-ruby *nix: /var/cache/omnibus	The "base" directory where Omnibus will store its data.

Resources

omnibus_build

This resource is used to execute a build of an Omnibus project.

Attributes

Attribute	Default	Description
project_name		The name of the Omnibus project to build
project_dir		The directory to install Omnibus
install_dir	/opt/<PROJECT>	The installation of the project being built
base_dir	Windows: C:/omnibus-ruby *nix: /var/cache/omnibus	The base directory for Omnibus
log_level	:internal	Log level used during the build. Valid values include: :internal, :debug, :info, :warn, :error, :fatal
config_file	<PROJECT_DIR>/omnibus.rb	Omnibus configuration file used for the build.
config_overrides	{}	Overrides for one or more Omnibus config options
expire_cache	false	Indicates the Omnibus cache (including git cache) should be wiped before building.
build_user	node['omnibus']['build_user']	The user to execute the Omnibus build as.

Example Usage

omnibus_build 'harmony' do
  project\_dir 'https://github.com/chef/omnibus-harmony.git'
  log_level :internal
  config_override(
    append_timestamp: true
  )
end

Usage

Include the omnibus::default recipe in your node's run list and override the cookbook's default attributes as desired. At the very least you will want to override node['omnibus']['install_dir'] to match the installation directory of your Omnibus project.

Using Test Kitchen with Docker

The following assumes you are on a macOS workstation and have installed and started Kitematic.

1. Set environment variables to point kitchen-docker at your local Kitematic instance:

Bash

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.99.100:2376
export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=$HOME/.docker/machine/certs
export DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1

Fish

set -gx DOCKER_HOST "tcp://192.168.99.100:2376"
set -gx DOCKER_CERT_PATH "$HOME/.docker/machine/certs"
set -gx DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY 1

2. Run Test Kitchen with the provided .kitchen.docker.yml:

KITCHEN_LOCAL_YAML=.kitchen.docker.yml kitchen verify languages-ruby-ubuntu-1204
