Useful Links

The supermarket project doesn't have, AFAIK, useful walk-throughs. I hope to provide that here.

Manual install

You don't want to do a manual install. Unless you're someone who wants to look under the covers before turning everything over to a cookbook.

Some assumptions:

• The GCE project cheffian-supermarket is my cloud, so FQDNs reflect this
• I've hacked my /etc/hosts to use chefserver and supermarket as the hostnames

chefserver

Install and configure api_fqdn:

apt-get update
curl https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/chef/stable/script.deb |  bash
apt-get update
apt-get install chef-server-core
echo "api_fqdn \"chefserver.cheffian.com\"" >> /etc/opscode/chef-server.rb
chef-server-ctl reconfigure

Add orgs/user:

chef-server-ctl user-create pdb Peter Burkholder pburkholder@getchef.com TestPassword -f pdb.pem
chef-server-ctl user-create demo Fname Lname demo@chef.io DemoPassword -f demo.pem
chef-server-ctl org-create demo_org demo_org -f demo_org.pem -a demo
echo "oc_id['administrators'] = ['demo']" >> /etc/opscode/chef-server.rb
chef-server-ctl reconfigure

Configure oc-id

• Navigate to https://chefserver/id
• Click the New Application button and fill in the application name and Redirect url
  • Name: supermarket
  • Redirect uri: https:///auth/chef_oauth2/callback
    • e.g.: https://supermarket.cheffian.com/auth/chef_oauth2/callback https://supermarket/auth/chef_oauth2/callback
• After you click Submit you will be shown the Application Id and Secret strings which you must supply to Supermarket. Copy these down, but don’t worry about losing them. You can always retrieve them from the /id/oauth/applications URL of your Chef server.

Supermarket

Install:

apt-get update
curl https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/chef/stable/script.deb | curl
apt-get install supermarket
supermarket-ctl reconfigure

Configure /etc/supermarket/supermarket.rb, with the app_id and secret from above:

default['supermarket']['chef_oauth2_app_id'] = '1fcce03a...67b822d1196'
default['supermarket']['chef_oauth2_secret'] = '9836e5f7d65....b10178ac0d'
default['supermarket']['chef_oauth2_url'] = 'https://chefserver.cheffian.com'
default['supermarket']['chef_oauth2_verify_ssl'] = false

Reconfigure:

supermarket-ctl reconfigure

Next:

https://supermarket.cheffian.com/sign-in

You'll be redirected to the oc-id service on chef-server. Sign-in with the credentials you used above, then accept the request to 'Authorize Supermarket to use your Chef account'

You should be in.

Now, let's move on to uploading cookbooks...

Notes

ssl testing

Even with ssl.verify off, berks install or berks vendor will fail when supermarket is using a self-signed certificate. So, how do we get around that?

Got /var/opt/supermarket/ssl/cacert.pem into local cacert.pem.

Get the CERT

knife ssl fetch supermarket.cheffian.com
# concatenate all your pems
cd ....chef/trusted_certs
cat &star.crt > cacert.pem

openssl s_client

Cert verify with openssl

openssl s_client -CAfile cacert.pem -connect supermarket.cheffian.com:443 -verify 0

Faraday

But curl doesn't matter, since Berkshelf uses Faraday, so let's try with that:

require 'faraday'
print "Trying with no ssl options:\n"
begin
    connection = Faraday::Connection.new 'https://supermarket-0.c.cheffian-supermarket.internal'
    p connection.get '/universe'
    p "WORKED\n\n\n"
rescue Exception => e
    print e.message, "\n\n\n"
end

print "Trying with ssl ca_file options:\n"
begin
    connection = Faraday::Connection.new 'https://supermarket-0.c.cheffian-supermarket.internal', :ssl => { :ca_file => './cacert.pem' }
    p connection.get '/universe'
    p "WORKED\n\n\n"
rescue Exception => e
    print e.message, "\n\n\n"
end

Berks

However, Berks doesn't have any options for specifying CA_file. Hmmmm. Good news, the above script works when:

export SSL_CERT_FILE=cacert.pem

Now attempts to use berks with the same SSL_CERT_FILE path set will work.

berks vendor

should work.

Berksfile?

Add this to your Berskfile:

ENV['SSL_CERT_FILE'] = '/some/path/to/cacert.pem'

Aside: Cert verify with curl

I can't get curl to work with self-signed cert, so don't count on Curl for helping you here. You'd think the following would work:

curl -v --cacert cacert.pem https://supermarket.cheffian.com:443

But it doesn't. It would seem that since self-signed certs don't assert themselves as CAs that curl won't be happy (and probably berks neither). That is, that

openssl x509 -in cacert.pem -inform pem -text -out certdata

won't contain:

X509v3 Basic Constraints:
CA:TRUE
X509v3 Key Usage:
Certificate Sign, CRL Sign

callback notes

These are all the Callback URLs that I authorized above:

https://supermarket.cheffian.com/auth/chef_oauth2/callback

How it all fits together!

https://github.com/chef/omnibus-supermarket/blob/master/cookbooks/omnibus-supermarket/attributes/default.rb

Becomes /etc/supermarket/supermarket.rb

So, after you install omnibus-supermarket, you'll want a cookbook to use the modify supermarket.rb

Wrap, wrap, baby???

The things to address are:

• ssl cert
• features -- currybot?
