cockpit cookbook

This cookbook installs and configures the Cockpit server administration interface.

Scope

Cockpit is installed as a package from the Red Hat Extras repository. Attributes can be used to configure the Cockpit service. Initially supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1+, with CentOS support coming soon.

The goal is to keep the cookbook and code simple and minimal.

Requirements

• Tested to work with Chef 12.7.x or higher
• Requires a system with a valid and active Red Hat Subscription and access to Red Hat repositories from redhat.com or via Satellite / Katello.

Usage

Place a dependency on the cockpit cookbook in your
cookbook's metadata.rb:

depends 'cockpit', '~> 0.2.0'

Or include the default recipe in your run list as 'recipe[cockpit]'.

This cookbook depends on the (firewalldconfig cookbook) and the (Red Hat Subscription Manager cookbook).

Attributes

TODO: Support for custom port and other parameters in cockpit.conf

Integration tests are written in (BATS)[https://github.com/sstephenson/bats]
