OpenSSL Usage

Source mirrors

This cookbook uses the openssl website for source files. This is not particularly safe or stable.

First of all, grab a copy of the source tarball and stick it into your own mirror. Keeping source caches in Manta is fantastic and easy, if you have an account:

mlogin
......
cd ~
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
openssl dgst -sha1 openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
mput -f openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz ~~/public/path/to/my/source/caches/
exit

Now somewhere in your Chef repository set the following node attribute:

node['ssl']['openssl']['mirror'] =
  'https://us-east.manta.joyent.com/my-account/public/path/to/my/source/caches'

Save the SHA1 that you generated for updating attributes later.

Installing OpenSSL

include_recipe 'ssl::openssl'

This will first install openssl via the local package system, then compile the specified version over the package.

Attributes:

node['ssl']['openssl']['version'] = '1.0.1g'
node['ssl']['openssl']['sha1'] = '...'

This assumes that the file name matches openssl-%{version}.tar.gz.
