codestriker Cookbook

Installs Codestriker from the tarball distribution.

Requirements

Cookbooks

While there aren't any direct dependencies, the cookbook expects a properly set up database to be present. Also, Codestriker is a CGI application, so you'll need a way of running those; it's out of scope for this cookbook to provide one.

Platforms

The following platforms are supported:

• Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04. (Really, anything sufficiently Debian-like ought to work.)

• OpenSUSE 13.2.

Attributes

Broadly speaking, there are two groups of arguments:

1. arguments that configure the application itself;
2. arguments that define the installation environment.

The former group mostly mirrors configuration options in codestriker.conf, which are thoroughly documented there. As for the latter:

• node['codestriker']['tarball']['version'] - application version (default: 1.9.10 (the latest));

• node['codestriker']['tarball']['url'] - tarball location (the default is to grab the latest tarball from SourceForge, but any tarball will do as long as its root directory follows the "codestriker-#{node['codestriker']['tarball']['version']}" naming convention);

• node['codestriker']['tarball']['checksum'] - SHA256 digest of the aforementioned tarball;

• node['codestriker']['user'] - owner of the unpacked sources (default: codestriker);

• node['codestriker']['use_existing_user'] - when false, a new system user will be created (default: false);

• node['codestriker']['group'] - group that will own the unpacked sources (default: codestriker);

• node['codestriker']['dir'] - root directory of the unpacked sources (default: /opt/codestriker/www);

• node['codestriker']['patch'] - patches to apply (the default is to make the source code compatible with Perl 5.22);

• node['codestriker']['packages'] - platform-dependent configuration of the dependencies;

• node['codestriker']['paths'] - platform-dependent configuration of the paths of various binaries;

• node['codestriker']['repositories'] - URLs to names mapping.

Usage

Just add codestriker to the node's run_list:

{
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[codestriker]"
  ]
}
