delivery-truck

delivery-truck is a Chef Delivery build_cookbook for continuously delivering Chef cookbooks.

This is alpha stage software, and is in a state of perpetual change. Use at your own risk!

To quickly get started you just need to set delivery-truck to be your build cookbook in your .delivery/config.json.

{
  "version": "2",
  "build_cookbook": {
    "name": "delivery-truck",
    "git": "https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/delivery-truck.git"
  }
}

Customizing Behavior using .delivery/config.json

The behavior of the delivery-truck cookbook phase recipes can be easily controlled by specifying certain values in your .delivery/config.json file. The control these values offer you is limited and not meant as a method to drastically alter the way the recipe functions.

lint

The lint phase will execute foodcritic but you can specify which rules you would like to follow directly from your config.json.

• ignore_rules - Provide a list of foodcritic rules you would like to ignore.
• only_rules - Explictly state which foodcritic rules you would like to run. Any other rules except these will be ignored.

{
  "version": "2",
  "build_cookbook": {
    "name": "delivery-truck",
    "git": "https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/delivery-truck.git"
  },
  "delivery-truck": {
    "lint": {
      "foodcritic": {
        "ignore_rules": ["FC001"],
        "only_rules": ["FC002"]
      }
    }
  }
}

publish

From the publish phase you can quickly and easily deploy cookbooks to your Chef Server, Supermarket Server and your entire project to a Github account.

• chef_server - Set to true/false depending on whether you would like to upload any modified cookbooks to the Chef Server associated with Delivery.
• supermarket - Specify the Supermarket Server you would like to use to share any modified cookbooks.
• github - Specify the Github repository you would like to push your project to. In order to work you must create a shared secrets data bag item (see "Handling Secrets" below) with a key named github with the value being a deploy key with access to that repo.
• git - Same as github but for Open Source Git Servers. (The data bag item should have a key named git)

{
  "version": "2",
  "build_cookbook": {
    "name": "delivery-truck",
    "git": "https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/delivery-truck.git"
  },
  "delivery-truck": {
    "publish": {
      "chef_server": true,
      "supermarket": "https://supermarket.chef.io",
      "github": "<org>/<project>",
      "git": "ssh://git@stash:2222/<project-name>/<repo-name>"
    }
  }
}

Depends on delivery-truck

If you would like to enjoy all the functionalities that delivery-truck provides on you own build cookbook you need to add it into your metadata.rb

maintainer       'The Authors'
maintainer_email '[email protected]'
license          'all_rights'

Handling Secrets (ALPHA)

This cookbook implements a rudimentary approach to handling secrets. This process is largely out of band from Chef Delivery for the time being.

delivery-truck will look for secrets in the delivery-secrets data bag on the Delivery Chef Server. It will expect to find an item in that data bag named <ent>-<org>-<project>. For example, this cookbook is kept in the 'Delivery-Build-Cookbooks' org of the 'chef' enterprise so it's data bag name is chef-Delivery-Build-Cookbooks-delivery-truck.

This cookbook expects this data bag item to be encrypted with the same encrypted_data_bag_secret that is on your builders. You will need to ensure that the data bag is available on the Chef Server before you run this cookbook for the first time otherwise it will fail.

To get this data bag you can use the DSL get_project_secrets to get the contents of the data bag.

my_secrets = get_project_secrets
puts my_secrets['id'] # chef-Delivery-Build-Cookbooks-delivery-truck
