chef-rundeck

Gem Version Build Status Dependency Status Code Climate

A simple Sinatra app that presents matching node results of a Chef search formatted as a RunDeck resource list.

Usage

Install the gem and fire up chef-rundeck. Point it at a Chef client config file (a knife config would be ideal) using the -c flag and provide the URI for your Chef server's web UI.

Configuration Notes

chef-rundeck binds to "localhost," which may result in it binding to an IPv6-only address in certain configurations. If this isn't what you want, try starting chef-rundeck with the -o switch, e.g. -o 0.0.0.0.

You can use the -u switch to override the username that is inserted into a project as the remote user that Rundeck should use for execution. The default is the system user that executes chef-rundeck, which may not be what you expect.

chef-rundeck now supports partial search against Enterprise Chef and OSS Chef servers running version 11 or greater!
If your organization has many nodes and you notice slow performance from chef-rundeck, try turning it on with --partial-search true.

chef-rundeck caches the generated resource XML for a project by default for 30 seconds. If this behavior ruins your day, change the number of seconds a document is cached by using the -t switch.

Further configuration details can be found on the [wiki] (https://github.com/oswaldlabs/chef-rundeck/wiki/).

Rundeck Configuration

Ensure each project has the URL Source under Resource Model Source. By default, the sinatra app is on localhost, port 9980 (http://localhost:9980).
