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.

ms_dotnet Cookbook

Cookbook Version
Build Status
License

Install the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Requirements

This cookbook supports and requires Chef 12.1+ to take advantage of the reboot and windows_package built-in resources.

Platforms

  • Windows XP
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows Server 2003 R2
  • Windows 7
  • Windows Server 2008 (R1, R2)
  • Windows 8 and 8.1
  • Windows Server 2012 (R1, R2)
  • Windows Server 2016

Cookbooks

The following cookbook is required as noted:

  • [windows](windows_cookbook) (>= 2.1.0)

    ms_dotnet_framework LWRP leverage the windows_feature LWRP
    MSDotNet::PackageHelper class used in ms_dotnet_framework leverages the ::Windows::VersionHelper module.

Known Issues

Here are the known issues you can encounter with ms_dotnet recipes:
* "Access denied" error on windows_package when running chef via WinRM
* Cause: winrm limitation
* Common environment: knife windows bootstrap, chef-provisioning, test-kitchen
* Theoretical solution: try to simulate a local session by wrapping your chef-client call in psexec or a schedule task.
* Test-Kitchen solution: with v1.8.0 you can use the winrm-elevated feature that'll run chef via a schedule task

Usage

This cookbook provides you two methods to install the major versions of .NET framework.

Common case - Recipes

In common cases you can use the attributes driven recipes provided by this cookbook to setup .NET.

Custom case - LWRP

In more custom cases, you might need to control in your own cookbook which .NET version should be installed and when the setup should be performed.
You just need to use the ms_dotnet_framework LWRP which handles for you the setup mode - feature vs package - and may also install all known patches.

Resource/Provider

ms_dotnet_framework

Actions

  • :install - Install a specific .NET framework

Attribute Parameters

  • version - Name attribute. Specify the .NET version to install.
  • include_patches - Determine whether patches should also be applied (default: true)
  • feature_source - Specify custom source for windows features. Only avaiable on NT Version 6.2 (Windows 8/2012) or newer. (default: nil)
  • perform_reboot - Determine whether chef should perform required reboot after installing new packages or feature. (default: false)
  • package_sources - Specify custom sources URL for windows packages. URL are indexed by their content SHA256 checkum. (default: {})
  • require_support - Determine whether chef should fail when given version is not supported on the current OS (default: false)

NB: feature_source works only on NT Version 6.2 (Windows 8/2012) or newer.

Examples

Install .NET 4.5.2 from custom sources

ms_dotnet_framework '4.5.2' do
  action            :install
  include_patches   true
  perform_reboot    true
  package_sources('6c2c589132e830a185c5f40f82042bee3022e721a216680bd9b3995ba86f3781' => 'http://my-own.site.com/NetFx452.exe')
  require_support   true
end

Attributes

This cookbook is mostly attributes driven, default values should be enough for common cases.

NB: because this cookbook is usefull only for windows, attributes are not available on other platforms

Common attributes

Below attributes are accessible via node['ms_dotnet']['ATTRIBUTE_NAME'] and are common to all recipes:
* timeout - Control the execution timeout in seconds of .NET setup packages (default: 600)

.NET recipes attributes

Recipes ms_dotnet2, ms_dotnet3 and ms_dotnet4 are controlled by the following attributes accessible via node['ms_dotnet']['vX']['ATTRIBUTE_NAME'] - where X is the .NET major version:

  • version - Specify the .NET version to install (default: 2.0.SP2, 3.5.SP1, 4.0)
  • include_patches - Determine whether patches should also be applied (default: true)
  • feature_source - Specify custom source for windows features. Only avaiable on NT Version 6.2 (Windows 8/2012) or newer. (default: nil)
  • perform_reboot - Determine whether chef should perform required reboot after installing new packages or feature. (default: false)
  • package_sources - Specify custom sources URL for windows packages. URL are indexed by their content SHA256 checkum. (default: {})
  • require_support - Determine whether chef should fail when given version is not supported on the current OS (default: false)

NB: feature_source works only on NT Version 6.2 (Windows 8/2012) or newer.
