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

Manage sysctl via a sysctl provider.

NOTE: If you are getting this from the community site it's named jn_sysctl. Due to some internal requirements the metadata sets it's name to "sysctl" this could cause some confusion.

WARNING: The default behavior on non-debian flavors is to write out /etc/sysctl.conf, which if you don't have settings in chef means you can kill your existing config. the sysctl_file atribute can control where this file goes in a role/override if you wish.

Attributes

  • sysctl: Hash of k/v pairs with sysctl settings.
  • sysctl_file: The location we write out the configuration defaults to /etc/sysctl.conf on anything not debian flavor defaults to /etc/sysctl.d/99-chef.conf on debian

Recipes

  • attribute_driver.rb: Reads attributes set in node[:sysctl][:values], and sets sysctl resources with the values
  • default.rb: Simply sets up the resources needed to use the lwrp
  • library.rb: Empty recipe if you want to avoid default, but still want to explicitly include (for whatever reason)

Sysctl LWRP

Properties

  • name: The key name. Defaults to the resource name i.e. sysctl "some.key"
  • value: what to set this key to
  • save: save the setting back to the node data (default: false)

Actions

  • :set Make sure the running state is set (default)
  • :write Write the config file (default)

Known Bugs

  • only intended to be used on Linux

Example Usage

LWRP

Ensure running state, and write this key to sysctl.conf

sysctl "kernel.sysrq" do
   value 1
end

Check out example/recipes/example.rb For more recipe examples.

Attributes

In a role attribute or override:

{
  "sysctl": {
    "net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling": 0
  }
}

Check out example/attributes/example.rb For more attribute examples.
