ohai-scaleway Cookbook

This recipe installs an ohai plugin on your machine to use the metadata of your Scaleway server in your recipes. It that will populate node[scw] with the content of scw-metadata.

Requirements

Platforms

  • Scaleway hardware, Linux

Chef

  • Chef 12.0 or later

Cookbooks

  • ohai - ohai-scaleway needs the ohai cookbook to install the plugin

Attributes

This cookbook can't be configured with any attribute, but the ohai plugin exports many automatic attributes. It exports any item returned by the scw-metadata util, with the key in lowercase. Useful attributes include:

  • name: The name of the server
  • public_ip_address: The public IP of your server
  • private_ip: The private IP address of your server
  • ssh_public_keys: The public keys defined in your account
  • commercial_type: 'C1' or 'VC1M' for example
  • ipv6_address
  • ipv6_netmask
  • ipv6_gateway

Usage

ohai-scaleway::default

Include ohai-scaleway in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[ohai-scaleway]"
  ]
}

Then, to avoid reloading ohai at every-run, add the plugin folder into the ohai.plugin_path (can bet set in chef-client.rb) The plugin is installed in the ohai/plugins folder of your chef conf folder (usually /etc/chef). .

On standard setup, you can just add ohai.plugin_path << '/etc/chef/ohai/plugins' to /etc/chef/chef-client.rb (or Ohai::Config[:plugin_path] << '/etc/chef/ohai/plugins' on older versions)
