Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

Description

Data bag and Attribute driven DHCP server.

  • Supports setting up Master/Master isc DHCP failover.
  • Includes Support for ddns
  • Includes LWRPs for managing hosts, groups and subnets.
  • Use databags or attributes + wrapper cooks to manage dhcp server [Example](examples/attribute_driven.rb)

Large parts were borrowed from work initially done by Dell, extended by Atalanta Systems and reworked by Matt Ray and Opscode. Big thanks to all of them.

Requirements

Tested on the following with Chef 11 and Chef 12:
* Ubuntu 12.04
* CentOS 6

Limitations

  • only setup to handle ipv4

Recipes

default

Stub recipe that does nothing. Good for including LWRP's but not the other recipe stuffs.

server

The node will install and configure the dhcp-server application.
Configuration is through various dhcp_X bags, and the current role/environment

Node Attributes

Almost everyone of the parameters and options are able to be overrode in the
host/group/network scope these are general defaults for the server.

Check out the man page for details on dhcpd.conf options/params.

node[:dhcp][:options]['host-name'] String " = binary-to-ascii (16, 8, \"-\", substring (hardware, 1, 6))" Options for global scope host-name settings. The default here will generate a host as mac address if the node doesn't provide a hostname or is not defined in dns/hosts/groups.
node[:dhcp][:options]['domain-name'] String "\"#{domain}\"" Set domainname in the global scope to this nodes domain

DHCP Global Parameters

These are all just k/v entries in the global params hash. All values are type: String

Data Bags

Data bags drive the lionshare of the dhcp configuration. Beyond the global settings. It is not required to configure
any bags other than dhcp_networks to get up and running, But if you want to statically map a network or have handy
Host names provisioned by dhcp you will have to add either dhcp_groups/dhcp_hosts bags and items.

You can generate example bags by using these handy commands

knife data bag create dhcp_networks
knife data bag create dhcp_groups
knife data bag create dhcp_hosts
knife data bag from file dhcp_networks examples/data_bags/dhcp_networks
knife data bag from file dhcp_groups examples/data_bags/dhcp_groups
knife data bag from file dhcp_hosts examples/data_bags/dhcp_hosts

dhcp_networks

Looked up via node[:dhcp][:networks_bag]. Describes networks this dhcp server should be configured to provide services for.
Per-network options can be provided as an array of strings where each string is a dhcp option.
Make sure you escape "'s properly as dhcpd is touchy about the format of values.

{
  "id": "192-168-1-0_24",
  "routers": [ "192.168.1.1" ],
  "address": "192.168.1.0",
  "netmask": "255.255.255.0",
  "broadcast": "192.168.1.255",
  "range": "192.168.1.50 192.168.1.240",
  "options": [ "time-offset 10" ],
  "next_server": "192.168.1.11"
}

dhcp_groups

Looked up via node[:dhcp][:grougroups] Items for this bag are group entries as per the man page.
Groups are sets of machines that can be configured with common parameters. A group can be bare. I.e.
Contains no host or parameters entries whatsover, and just defines options.

The only required key in a host def is the "mac": key. Everything else is optional

Example Group Bag
json
{
"id": "test",
"pxe": "ubuntu-precise",
"parameters": [
"use-host-decl-names on",
"max-lease-time 300",
"default-lease-time 120",
"next-server \"someplace\""
],
"hosts": {
"some-vm": {
"parameters": [ ],
"mac": "11:22:33:44:55:66",
"ip": "192.168.1.111"
},
"another-host": {
"mac": "22:33:44:55:66:77"
}
}
}

There are a few keys that merit more discussion:

"hosts": key dhcp_group Items

Groups in isc-dhcp can define lists of hosts. In this example we are using the use-host-decl-names on
tell dhcp to use the "some-vm" and "another-host" entries as the host-name for these clients.
As well as setting other per-group parameters.

Each Host in the hosts Hash can have a number of settings, but the only required setting is "mac": the mac address
for the host.

Key Description
"mac": mac address of this host
"ip": ip address of this host
"parameters": an array of isc-dhcpd parameters as-per the global parameter setting.
"pxe": This key is used by my pxe cookbook to figure out what pxe item you want this group to boot too. That Pxe cookbook should be released soon (hopefully).

dhcp_hosts

Dhcp hosts bag is looked up via node[:dhcp][:hosts_bag], and contains Host Items.

Example Most Basic host:

{
  "id": "vagrant-vm",
  "hostname": "vagrant.vm",
  "mac": "08:00:27:f1:1f:b6",
}

Example Complex host:
json
{
"id": "pxe_test-vm",
"hostname": "pxe_test.vm",
"mac": "08:00:27:8f:7b:db",
"ip": "192.168.1.31",
"parameters": [ ],
"options": [ ],
"pxe": "ubuntu-precise"
}
