This cookbook includes recipes to execute apt-get update to ensure the local APT package cache is up to date. There are recipes for managing the apt-cacher-ng caching proxy and proxy clients. It also includes a LWRP for managing APT repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as well as an LWRP for pinning packages via /etc/apt/preferences.d.
This recipe installs the update-notifier-common
package to provide
the timestamp file used to only run apt-get update
if the cache is
more than one day old.
This recipe should appear first in the run list of Debian or Ubuntu
nodes to ensure that the package cache is up to date before managing
any package
resources with Chef.
This recipe also sets up a local cache directory for preseeding packages.
Installs the apt-cacher-ng
package and service so the system can
provide APT caching. You can check the usage report at
http://{hostname}:3142/acng-report.html. The cacher-ng
recipe
includes the cacher-client
recipe, so it helps seed itself.
Configures the node to use the apt-cacher-ng
server as a client.
This LWRP provides an easy way to manage additional APT repositories.
Adding a new repository will notify running the execute[apt-get-update]
resource immediately.
- :add: creates a repository file and builds the repository listing
- :remove: removes the repository file
- repo_name: name attribute. The name of the channel to discover
- uri: the base of the Debian distribution
- distribution: this is usually your release's codename...ie something
like
karmic
,lucid
ormaverick
- components: package groupings..when it doubt use
main
- deb_src: whether or not to add the repository as a source repo as
well - value can be
true
orfalse
, defaultfalse
. - key_server: the GPG keyserver where the key for the repo should be retrieved
- key: if a
key_server
is provided, this is assumed to be the fingerprint, otherwise it can be either the URI to the GPG key for the repo, or a cookbook_file. - cookbook: if key should be a cookbook_file, specify a cookbook where the key is located for files/default. Defaults to nil, so it will use the cookbook where the resource is used.
# add the Zenoss repo
apt_repository "zenoss" do
uri "http://dev.zenoss.org/deb"
components ["main","stable"]
end
# add the Nginx PPA; grab key from keyserver
apt_repository "nginx-php" do
uri "http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/php5/ubuntu"
distribution node['lsb']['codename']
components ["main"]
keyserver "keyserver.ubuntu.com"
key "C300EE8C"
end
# add the Nginx PPA; grab key from keyserver, also add source repo
apt_repository "nginx-php" do
uri "http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/php5/ubuntu"
distribution node['lsb']['codename']
components ["main"]
keyserver "keyserver.ubuntu.com"
key "C300EE8C"
deb_src true
end
# add the Cloudkick Repo
apt_repository "cloudkick" do
uri "http://packages.cloudkick.com/ubuntu"
distribution node['lsb']['codename']
components ["main"]
key "http://packages.cloudkick.com/cloudkick.packages.key"
end
# add the Cloudkick Repo with the key downloaded in the cookbook
apt_repository "cloudkick" do
uri "http://packages.cloudkick.com/ubuntu"
distribution node['lsb']['codename']
components ["main"]
key "cloudkick.packages.key"
end
# remove Zenoss repo
apt_repository "zenoss" do
action :remove
end
This LWRP provides an easy way to pin packages in /etc/apt/preferences.d. Although apt-pinning is quite helpful from time to time please note that Debian does not encourage its use without thorough consideration.
Further information regarding apt-pinning is available via http://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences.
- :add: creates a preferences file under /etc/apt/preferences.d
- :remove: Removes the file, therefore unpin the package
- package_name: name attribute. The name of the package
- pin: The package version/repository to pin
- pin_priority: The pinning priority aka "the highest package version wins"
# Pin libmysqlclient16 to version 5.1.49-3
apt_preference "libmysqlclient16" do
pin "version 5.1.49-3"
pin_priority "700"
end
# Unpin libmysqlclient16
apt_preference "libmysqlclient16" do
action :remove
end
Put recipe[apt]
first in the run list. If you have other recipes
that you want to use to configure how apt behaves, like new sources,
notify the execute resource to run, e.g.:
template "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/my_apt_sources.list" do
notifies :run, resources(:execute => "apt-get update"), :immediately
end
The above will run during execution phase since it is a normal template resource, and should appear before other package resources that need the sources in the template.
Put recipe[apt::cacher-ng]
in the run_list for a server to provide
APT caching and add recipe[apt::cacher-client]
on the rest of the
Debian-based nodes to take advantage of the caching server.
