OpenResty Chef Cookbook

Tag Version Cookbook Version Build Status GitHub issues GitHub license

This cookbook installs the OpenResty NGINX bundle (http://www.openresty.org)
from source and sets up configuration handling similar to Debian's Apache2 scripts.
It also provides an OHAI plugin for configuration detection and an LWRP for easy site
activation and deactivation.

The latest and greatest revision of this cookbook will always be available
at https://github.com/priestjim/chef-openresty

Requirements

Cookbooks

The following cookbooks are direct dependencies because they're used
for common "default" functionality.

  • build-essential
  • ohai (for openresty::ohai_plugin)
  • logrotate (for log file rotation)
  • apt
  • yum

In order to install the OpenResty postgresql module you'll also need
the postgresql cookbook.

If you want to link NGINX to the very performant jemalloc library, you'll
need the jemalloc cookbook.

Platform

The following platforms are supported and tested using test-kitchen:

  • Ubuntu 16.04
  • CentOS 7.2

Other Debian and RHEL family distributions are assumed to work.

Chef Server

The cookbook converges best on Chef installations >= 10.16.2

Awesome stuff

This cookbook includes automatic activation of some nice NGINX features such as:

  • By default LUAJIT-enabled build: The cookbook by default activates the LUAJIT
    feature of OpenResty (since this is the main reason to use the bundle) and
    accounts for all the peculiarities this option may bring.

  • Automatic CPU affinity: Automatically sets the worker-to-core affinity for all
    of the NGINX worker processes. For a scenario of 8 workers and 8 cores, the
    following directive gets generated:

    worker_cpu_affinity 00000001 00000010 00000100 00001000 00010000 00100000 01000000 10000000;
    

This feature can offer a nice performance boost, since it helps the CPUs maintain
cache locality (especially when used in conjunction to the LUA module)

  • Automatic detection and activation of the AIO feature: The cookbook automatically
    detects support (Linux kernel >= 2.6.22) and enables the aio directive of NGINX.

  • Automatic IPv6 detection and activation: The cookbook automatically detects and
    activates IPv6 support on NGINX.

  • Support for custom PCRE runtime: The cookbook can use custom PCRE sources in order
    to statically link to a custom-compiled PCRE runtime that supports JIT regular expression
    compilation which will significantly speed up RE execution in the NGINX and Lua environments.

  • Support for LUA Rocks: The cookbook installs support for LUA Rocks embedded in the LUAJIT
    installation, allowing you to install any rock you want, right from the official Rocks site. It
    also provides an LWRP for installing rocks via your recipes.

  • node['openresty']['luarocks']['default_rocks'] - A hash with the names and versions of Lua rocks to install by default.

Recipes

default.rb

The default recipe will install the OpenResty NGINX bundle from source,
automatically including your selected set of modules, extra-cookbook modules and
set up the configuration according to the Debian site enable/disable style with
sites-enabled using the nxensite and nxdissite scripts provided by the
openresty_site LWRP.

The recipe ensures that the required packages to build NGINX are installed (pcre,
openssl, compile tools). The source will be downloaded from the
node['openresty']['source']['url']. The node['openresty']['user'] will be
created as a system user. The appropriate configuration and log
directories and config files will be created as well according to the
attributes node['openresty']['dir'] and 'node['openresty']['log_dir'].

The recipe attempts to detect whether additional modules should be
added to the configure command through recipe inclusion (see below),
and whether the version or configuration flags have changed and should
trigger a recompile.

Many features are automatically detected and enabled into the NGINX default
configuration file such as AIO support for Linux kernels >= 2.6.22, IPv6 support
and CPU worker affinity.

The NGINX service can be either managed with SYSV init style scripts that are already included in
the cookbook or you can define your own. You only have to define the service resource used for
notifications (like runit_service[nginx] or service[nginx]) and optionally a recipe to be included
in the convergence flow (like openresty::service_init or my_openresty:::service_runit).

The cookbook generates various include files (.inc) that are available for inclusion
in standard NGINX site definition files via the #include directive. Look in the
conf.d directory of node['openresty']['dir'] location for them!

Includes the ohai_plugin recipe so the plugin is available.

ohai_plugin.rb

This recipe provides an Ohai plugin as a template. It is automatically included
by the default.rb recipe.

http_*_module.rb, upload_progress_module.rb, cache_purge_module.rb

These recipes are automatically included by the default.rb recipe according to
the node['openresty']['modules'] array and provide compiled-in additional
features to the standard OpenResty NGINX compile. Check each recipe separately
for more information.

http_stub_status_module.rb

Special mention needs to be made for the stub status module. The approach followed
here is to create an include file with proper directives (set in the
status_module.rb attribute file) that can be included in any NGINX configuration
virtual host via the include directive:

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx_status.conf.inc;

luarocks.rb

The luarocks recipe installs the LUA rocks package management system for the
LUAJIT bundle that comes with OpenResty. You can define a set of rocks to install by
default using the node['openresty']['luarocks']['default_rocks'] hash.

For more information on using LUA rocks with OpenResty check out http://openresty.org/#UsingLuaRocks

Adding New Modules

To add a new module to be compiled into NGINX in the source recipe,
the node's run state is manipulated in a recipe, and the module as a
recipe should be added to node['openresty']['modules']. For
example:

node.run_state['openresty_configure_flags'] =
  node.run_state['openresty_configure_flags'] | ["--with-http_stub_status_module"]

The recipe will be included by recipe[nginx::default] automatically,
adding the configure flags. Add any other configuration templates or
other resources as required. See the recipes described above for
examples.

In order to include extra-cookbook modules (most probably via an application
cookbook), you can use the node['openresty']['extra_modules'] array,
which takes as elements full recipe references like

'recipe[my_openresty::module_42istheanswerforeveryhing]'

The extra-cookbook modules will be included in the same manner as the standard
intra-cookbook modules.

LWRP

site

The cookbook includes the openresty_site LWRP (in contrast to the original
nginx_site cookbook definition script). The LWRP can be used in the same manner
as nginx_site and offers resource notifications (an advantage LWRPs
offer over simpler definitions). It also includes a timing parameter that can
be used to notify the nginx process to restart immediately based on configuration
file changes. It can also deploy your website's configuration in the appropriate place
if you define the template parameter with the filename of your website's configuration template
(variables for this template can be defined with variables) in the cookbook where you've also
defined the openresty_site resource. The LWRP can be used such as:

openresty_site 'site.example.com' do
  template 'site.example.com.conf.erb'
  variables hostname: 'site.example.com'
  action :enable
  timing :immediately
end

luarock

The cookbook includes a LUA rock LWRP that allows for easy installation of LUA rocks,
available to use with the LUAJIT system bundled with OpenResty. You can install and remove
LUA rocks using the install and remove actions of the LWRP. A sample follows:

openresty_luarock 'md5' do
  action :install
  version '1.1.2'
end

openresty_luarock 'luasql-mysql' do
  action :install
  environment {
    'MYSQL_DIR' => '/usr/local'
  }
end

openresty_luarock 'luafilesystem' do
  action :remove # Removes all versions installed
end

Ohai Plugin

The ohai_plugin recipe includes an Ohai plugin. It will be
automatically installed and activated, providing the following
attributes via ohai, no matter how NGINX is installed (source or
package):

  • node['nginx']['version'] - version of NGINX
  • node['nginx']['configure_arguments'] - options passed to ./configure when NGINX was built.
  • node['nginx']['prefix'] - installation prefix
  • node['nginx']['conf_path'] - configuration file path

The Ohai plugin is generally used to determine whether control
attributes for building NGINX have changed.

Usage

Include the recipe on your node or role. Modify the
attributes as required in a role cookbook to change how various
configuration is applied per the attributes section above.

If you need to alter the location of various cookbook_file
directives, use chef_rewind.
