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 Build Status

This is a cookbook for setting up MongoDB either as a single instance, or as a replica set.
You can use the resource providers (see below) for creating your own layout of nodes,
or the recipes to automatically set things up from node attributes.

Please note that this cookbook does not use the 10gen apt repository, and instead
downloads the required binaries from a given server. This gives you the ability to
point it at your own custom build of MongoDB (say with SSL included).

Compatibility

Integration tested on 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 with Chef 11.4, but assumed to work with other Debian-based
distros as well.

NOTE: Running MongoDB on 32bit nodes is generally a bad idea, so we'll raise an exception
if someone tries to do it here.

Usage

On the most basic level, just include the hipsnip-mongodb::mongod recipe to set up a single instance,
or the hipsnip-mongodb::replica_set recipe to set up a replica set. These will set sensible
defaults and will work fine out of the box, but you have the ability to customize them
using the attributes below.

NOTE: The replica_set recipe will not work with Chef Solo. You can use the resource providers
below to manually build your own replica set, if you don't use Chef Server.

Attributes

Please note that many of the attributes below directly map to settings in the MongoDB
configuration file. For more details on these settings, please refer to the

#    leave blank to use 'bind_ip' - can't both be blank!
default['mongodb']['node_address_attribute'] # defaults to 'fqdn'

Resources

hipsnip_mongodb_mongod

Sets up a mongod instance with the given parameters on the local host. It waits for
the node to come online, and performs a basic health check on it before handing
control back. Internally it uses the hipsnip_mongodb_check_node provider (see below) to
verify that the node is up.

Actions

  • create (default)

Attributes

The value passed to name will be used as a postfix to the service name, configuration
file and data/journal directory of the new MongoDB instance. Using "default" as
the instance name has special meaning, and will cause the provider to not use a postfix.
See below for examples.

  • bind_ip : The IP address to bind to - leave empty to bind to all addresses (defaults to "")
  • port : The port to run the MongoDB service on (defaults to 27017)
  • replica_set : The name of the replica set this node will be a part of - leave blank to configure without a replica set (defaults to "")

NOTE: Setting the replica_set attribute alone will not trigger replica set
creation. You need to use the hipsnip_mongodb_replica_set provider to do that.

Examples

To set up a new MongoDB service called mongod, running on port 27018,
with the config file /etc/mongodb/mongd.conf and data stored under /var/lib/mongo_data/mongod:

hipsnip_mongodb_mongod "default" do
    port 27018
end

To set up a new MongoDB service called mongod-primary, running on port 27019,
with the config file /etc/mongodb/mongod-primary.conf and data stored under /var/lib/mongo_data/mongod-primary:

hipsnip_mongodb_mongod "primary" do
    port 27019
    replica_set "my_set"
end

It will also fill in the replSet configuration directive, but will not initialize
the replica set.

hipsnip_mongodb_check_node

Used to check if a given node is up. If it can't connect, or if the health check fails,
it waits a few seconds and retries. The time spent waiting can be adjusted via
node['mongodb']['node_check']['timeout'], while the maximum number of retires can
be set in node['mongodb']['node_check']['retries']. The actual wait time increases
exponentially, calculated by retries * timeout.

NOTE: On the first starup, MongoDB can spend quite some time pre-allocating data
and journal files. Depending on the speed of your hardware, and the oplog size
you specify, you may need to increase the timeout setting to avoid a failure during
your initial chef run.

Actions

  • run (default)

Attributes

  • node_ip (name attribute)
  • port (defaults to 27017)

Examples

To run a health check on the default node:

hipsnip_mongodb_check_node "127.0.0.1" do
    port 27017 # you could actually omit the port in this case
end

hipsnip_mongodb_replica_set

Takes a list of member nodes, and then it either initializes or updates the given
replica set (if it already exists). It also performs a health check after the replica
set initialization or reconfiguration, to make sure all is well before handing control
back. Failed health checks are reattempted - this can be controlled via node['mongodb']['node_check']['timeout']
and node['mongodb']['node_check']['retries'].

Actions

  • create (default)

Attributes

  • replica_set : The name of the replica set (name attribute)
  • members : The list of member nodes

The member nodes are represented as hashes, and have the following fields:

  • id (required) : The unique id of the member, between 0 and 255. Should not change between reconfigurations!
  • host (required) : The address where the node can be reached in the host:port format.
  • arbiter_only
  • build_indexes
  • hidden
  • priority
  • tags
  • slave_delay
  • votes

The last few are direct references to replica set node configuration directives - please
refer to the MongoDB documentation for details.

 Examples

To set up a replica set with a couple of nodes:

hipsnip_mongodb_replica_set "my_set" do
    nodes [
        {
            'id' => 0,
            'host' => '127.0.0.1:27017'
        },
        {
            'id' => 1,
            'host' => '127.0.0.1:27018'
        }
    ]
end
