option takes precedence over implicit configuration + paths. + +## DESCRIPTION + +`chef-shell` is an irb(1) (interactive ruby) session customized for Chef. +`chef-shell` serves two primary functions: it provides a means to +interact with a Chef Server interactively using a convenient DSL; it +allows you to define and run Chef recipes interactively. + +## SYNTAX + +chef-shell uses irb's subsession feature to provide multiple modes of +interaction. In addition to the primary mode which is entered on start, +`recipe` and `attributes` modes are available. + +## PRIMARY MODE +The following commands are available in the primary +session: + + * `help`: + Prints a list of available commands + * `version`: + Prints the Chef version + * `recipe`: + Switches to `recipe` mode + * `attributes`: + Switches to `attributes` mode + * `run_chef`: + Initiates a chef run + * `reset`: + reinitializes chef-shell session + * `echo :on|:off`: + Turns irb's echo function on or off. Echo is _on_ by default. + * `tracing :on|:off`: + Turns irb's function tracing feature on or off. Tracing is extremely + verbose and expected to be of interest primarily to developers. + * `node`: + Returns the _node_ object for the current host. See knife-node(1) + for more information about nodes. + * `ohai`: + Prints the attributes of _node_ + +In addition to these commands, chef-shell provides a DSL for accessing +data on the Chef Server. When working with remote data in chef-shell, you +chain method calls in the form _object type_._operation_, where +_object type_ is in plural form. The following object types are +available: + + * `nodes` + * `roles` + * `data_bags` + * `clients` + * `cookbooks` + +For each _object type_ the following operations are available: + + * _object type_.all(_&block_): + Loads all items from the server. If the optional code _block_ is + given, each item will be passed to the block and the results + returned, similar to ruby's `Enumerable#map` method. + * _object type_.show(_object name_): + Aliased as _object type_.load + + Loads the singular item identified by _object name_. + * _object type_.search(_query_, _&block_): + Aliased as _object type_.find + + Runs a search against the server and returns the matching items. If + the optional code _block_ is given each item will be passed to the + block and the results returned. + + The _query_ may be a Solr/Lucene format query given as a String, or + a Hash of conditions. If a Hash is given, the options will be ANDed + together. To join conditions with OR, use negative queries, or any + advanced search syntax, you must provide give the query in String + form. + * _object type_.transform(:all|_query_, _&block_): + Aliased as _object type_.bulk_edit + + Bulk edit objects by processing them with the (required) code _block_. + You can edit all objects of the given type by passing the Symbol + `:all` as the argument, or only a subset by passing a _query_ as the + argument. The _query_ is evaluated in the same way as with + __search__. + + The return value of the code _block_ is used to alter the behavior + of `transform`. If the value returned from the block is `nil` or + `false`, the object will not be saved. Otherwise, the object is + saved after being passed to the block. This behavior can be + exploited to create a dry run to test a data transformation. + +## RECIPE MODE +Recipe mode implements Chef's recipe DSL. Exhaustively documenting this +DSL is outside the scope of this document.

The goal of the bootstrap +is to get Chef installed on the target system so it can run Chef Client +with a Chef Server. The main assumption is a baseline OS installation +exists. This sub-command is used internally by some cloud computing +plugins. + +The bootstrap sub-command supports supplying a template to perform the +bootstrap steps. If the distro is not specified (via `-d` or `--distro` +option), an Ubuntu 10.04 host bootstrapped with RubyGems is assumed. The +__DISTRO__ value corresponds to the base filename of the template, in +other words `DISTRO`.erb. A template file can be specified with the +`--template-file` option in which case the __DISTRO__ is not used. The +sub-command looks in the following locations for the template to use: + +* `bootstrap` directory in the installed Chef Knife library. +* `bootstrap` directory in the `$PWD/.chef`. +* `bootstrap` directory in the users `$HOME/.chef`. + +The default bootstrap templates are scripts that get copied to the +target node (FQDN). The following distros are supported: + +* centos5-gems +* fedora13-gems +* ubuntu10.04-gems +* ubuntu10.04-apt + +The gems installations will use RubyGems 1.3.6 and Chef installed as a +gem. The apt installation will use the Opscode APT repository. + +In addition to handling the software installation, these bootstrap +templates do the following: + + - Write the validation.pem per the local knife configuration. + - Write a default config file for Chef (`/etc/chef/client.rb`) using values from the `knife.rb`. + - Create a JSON attributes file containing the specified run list and run Chef. + +In the case of the RubyGems, the `client.rb` will be written from +scratch with a minimal set of values; see __EXAMPLES__. In the case of +APT Package installation, `client.rb` will have the +`validation_client_name` appended if it is not set to `chef-validator` +(default config value), and the `node_name` will be added if +`chef_node_name` option is specified. + +When this is complete, the bootstrapped node will have: + + - Latest Chef version installed from RubyGems or APT Packages from Opscode. This may be a later version than the local system. + - Be validated with the configured Chef Server. + - Have run Chef with its default run list if one is specfied. + +Additional custom bootstrap templates can be created and stored in +`.chef/bootstrap/DISTRO.erb`, replacing __DISTRO__ with the value passed +with the `-d` or `--distro` option. See __EXAMPLES__ for more +information. + +## EXAMPLES +Setting up a custom bootstrap is fairly straightforward. Create a +`.chef/bootstrap` directory in your Chef Repository or in +`$HOME/.chef/bootstrap`. Then create the ERB template file. + + mkdir ~/.chef/bootstrap + vi ~/.chef/bootstrap/debian5.0-apt.erb + +For example, to create a new bootstrap template that should be used when +setting up a new Debian node. Edit the template to run the commands, set +up the validation certificate and the client configuration file, and +finally to run chef-client on completion.

They +encapsulate all recipes of resources and assets used to configure a +particular aspect of the infrastructure. The following sub-commands can +be used to manipulate the cookbooks stored on the Chef Server. + +On disk, cookbooks are directories with a defined structure. The +following directories may appear within a cookbook: + + * COOKBOOK/attributes/: + Ruby files that define default parameters to be used in recipes + * COOKBOOK/definitions/: + Ruby files that contain _resource definitions_ + * COOKBOOK/files/SPECIFICITY: + Files of arbitrary type. These files may be downloaded by + chef-client(8) when configuring a host. + * COOKBOOK/libraries/: + Ruby files that contain library code needed for recipes + * COOKBOOK/providers/: + Ruby files that contain Lightweight Provider definitions + * COOKBOOK/recipes/: + Ruby files that use Chef's recipe DSL to describe the desired + configuration of a system + * COOKBOOK/resources/: + Ruby files that contain Lightweight Resource definitions + * COOKBOOK/templates/SPECIFICITY: + ERuby (ERb) template files. These are referenced by _recipes_ and + evaluated to dynamically generate configuration files. + +__SPECIFICITY__ is a feature of _files_ and _templates_ that allow you +to specify alternate files to be used on a specific OS platform or host. +The default specificity setting is _default_, that is files in +`COOKBOOK/files/default` will be used when a more specific copy is not +available. Further documentation for this feature is available on the +Chef wiki: + +Cookbooks also contain a metadata file that defines various properties +of the cookbook. The most important of these are the _version_ and the +_dependencies_. The _version_ is used in combination with environments +to select which copy of a given cookbook is distributed to a node. The +_dependencies_ are used by the server to determine which additional +cookbooks must be distributed to a given host when it requires a +cookbook. + +## SEE ALSO + __knife-environment(1)__ __knife-cookbook-site(1)__ + + + +## AUTHOR + Chef was written by Adam Jacob with many contributions from the community. + +## DOCUMENTATION + This manual page was written by Joshua Timberman . + Permission is granted to copy, distribute and / or modify this document under the terms of the Apache 2.0 License. + + +## CHEF + Knife is distributed with Chef. diff --git a/distro/common/markdown/man1/knife-data-bag.mkd b/distro/common/markdown/man1/knife-data-bag.mkd new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..67ec02158c --- /dev/null +++ b/distro/common/markdown/man1/knife-data-bag.mkd @@ -0,0 +1,121 @@ +knife-data-bag(1) -- Store arbitrary data on a Chef Server +======================================== + +## SYNOPSIS + +__knife__ __data bag__ _sub-command_ _(options)_ + +## DESCRIPTION +Data bags are stores of arbitrary JSON data.

In Chef, this function is implemented with +_environments_. + +Environments contain two major components: a set of cookbook version +constraints and environment attributes. + +## SYNTAX +A cookbook version constraint is comprised of a _cookbook name_ and a +_version constraint_. The _cookbook name_ is the name of a cookbook in +your system, and the _version constraint_ is a String describing the +version(s) of that cookbook allowed in the environment. Only one +_version constraint_ is supported for a given _cookbook name_. + +The exact syntax used to define a cookbook version constraint varies +depending on whether you use the JSON format or the Ruby format. In the +JSON format, the cookbook version constraints for an environment are +represented as a single JSON object, like this: + + {"apache2": ">= 1.5.0"} + +In the Ruby format, the cookbook version contraints for an environment +are represented as a Ruby Hash, like this: + + {"apache2" => ">= 1.5.0"} + +A _version number_ is a String comprised of two or three digits +separated by a dot (.) character, or in other words, strings of the form +"major.minor" or "major.minor.patch". "1.2" and "1.2.3" are examples of +valid version numbers. Version numbers containing more than three digits +or alphabetic characters are not supported. + +A _version constraint_ String is composed of an _operator_ and a +_version number_. The following operators are available: + + * `= VERSION`: + Equality. Only the exact version specified may be used. + * `> VERSION`: + Greater than. Only versions greater than `VERSION` may be used. + * `>= VERSION`: + Greater than or equal to. Only versions equal to VERSION or greater + may be used. + * `< VERSION`: + Less than. Only versions less than VERSION may be used. + * `<= VERSION`: + Less than or equal to. Only versions lesser or equal to VERSION may + be used. + * `~> VERSION`: + Pessimistic greater than. Depending on the number of components in + the given VERSION, the constraint will be optimistic about future + minor or patch revisions only. For example, `~> 1.1` will match any + version less than `2.0` and greater than or equal to `1.1.0`, + whereas `~> 2.0.5` will match any version less than `2.1.0` and + greater than or equal to `2.0.5`. + +## FORMAT +The JSON format of an envioronment is as follows: + + { + "name": "dev", + "description": "The development environment", + "cookbook_versions": { + "couchdb": "= 11.0.0" + }, + "json_class": "Chef::Environment", + "chef_type": "environment", + "default_attributes": { + "apache2": { "listen_ports": [ "80", "443" ] } + }, + "override_attributes": { + "aws_s3_bucket": "production" + } + } + +The Ruby format of an environment is as follows: + + name "dev" + description "The development environment" + cookbook_versions "couchdb" => "= 11.0.0" + default_attributes "apache2" => { "listen_ports" => [ "80", "443" ] } + override_attributes "aws_s3_bucket" => "production" + + +## SEE ALSO + __knife-node(1)__ __knife-cookbook(1)__ __knife-role(1)__ + + + +## AUTHOR + Chef was written by Adam Jacob with many contributions from the community. + +## DOCUMENTATION + This manual page was written by Daniel DeLeo . + Permission is granted to copy, distribute and / or modify this document under the terms of the Apache 2.0 License. + +## CHEF + Knife is distributed with Chef. diff --git a/distro/common/markdown/man1/knife-exec.mkd b/distro/common/markdown/man1/knife-exec.mkd new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..d4aa87ca46 --- /dev/null +++ b/distro/common/markdown/man1/knife-exec.mkd @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ +knife-exec(1) -- Run user scripts using the Chef API DSL +======================================== + +## SYNOPSIS + +__knife__ __exec__ _(options)_ + + * `-E`, `--exec CODE`: + Provide a snippet of code to evaluate on the command line + +## DESCRIPTION + +`knife exec` runs arbitrary ruby scripts in a context similar to that +of the chef-shell(1) DSL.

The following data types are indexed for search: + + * _node_ + * _role_ + * _environment_ + * _clients_ + * _data bag_ + +Data bags are indexed by the data bag's name. For example, to search a +data bag named "admins": + + knife search admins "field:search_pattern" + +## QUERY SYNTAX + +Queries have the form `field:search_pattern` where `field` is a key in +the JSON description of the relevant objects (nodes, roles, +environments, or data bags). Both `field` and `search_pattern` are +case-sensitive. `search_pattern` can be an exact, wildcard, +range, or fuzzy match (see below). The `field` supports exact +matching and limited wildcard matching. + +Searches will return the relevant objects (nodes, roles, environments, +or data bags) where the `search_pattern` matches the object's value of +`field`. + +### FIELD NAMES + +Field names are the keys within the JSON description of the object +being searched. Nested Keys can be searched by placing an underscore +("_") between key names. + +### WILDCARD MATCHING FOR FIELD NAMES + +The field name also has limited support for wildcard matching. Both +the "*" and "?" wildcards (see below) can be used within a field name; +however, they cannot be the first character of the field name. + +### EXACT MATCHES +Without any search modifiers, a search returns those fields for which +the `search_pattern` exactly matches the value of `field` in the JSON +description of the object. + +### WILDCARD MATCHES + +Search support both single- and multi-character wildcard searches +within a search pattern. + +'?' matches exactly one character. + +'*' matches zero or more characters. + +### RANGE MATCHES +Range searches allows one to match values between two given values. To +match values between X and Y, inclusively, use square brackets: + + knife search INDEX 'field:[X TO Y] + +To match values between X and Y, exclusively, use curly brackets: + + knife search INDEX 'field:{X TO Y}' + +Values are sorted in lexicographic order. + +### FUZZY MATCHES + +Fuzzy searches allows one to match values based on the Levenshtein +Distance algorithm. To perform a fuzzy match, append a tilda (~) to +the search term: + + knife search INDEX 'field:term~' + +This search would return nodes whose `field` was 'perm' or 'germ'. + +### BOOLEAN OPERATORS + +The boolean operators NOT, AND, and OR are supported.

The default location for the +config file is `~/.chef/knife.rb`. If managing multiple Chef +repositories, per-repository config files can be created. The file must +be `.chef/knife.rb` in the current directory of the repository. + +If the config file exists, knife uses these settings for __GENERAL OPTIONS__ defaults. + + * `node_name`: + User or client identity (i.e., _name_) to use for authenticating + requests to the Chef Server. + * `client_key`: + Private key file to authenticate to the Chef server. Corresponds to the + `-k` or `--key` option. + * `chef_server_url`: + URL of the Chef server. Corresponds to the `-s` or `--server-url` + option. This is requested from the user when running this sub-command. + * `cache_type`: + The type of cache to use. Default is BasicFile. This can be any type of + Cache that moneta supports: BasicFile, Berkeley, Couch, DataMapper, + File, LMC, Memcache, Memory, MongoDB, Redis, Rufus, S3, SDBM, Tyrant, + Xattr, YAML. + * `cache_options`: + Specifies various options to use for caching. These options are + dependent on the `cache_type`. + * `validation_client_name`: + Specifies the name of the client used to validate new clients. + * `validation_key`: + Specifies the private key file to use when bootstrapping new hosts. + See knife-client(1) for more information about the validation + client. + * `cookbook_copyright`, `cookbook_email`, `cookbook_license`, `readme_format` + Used by `knife cookbook create` sub-command to specify the copyright + holder, maintainer email, license and readme format (respectively) for new cookbooks. + The copyright holder is listed as the maintainer in the cookbook's + metadata and as the Copyright in the comments of the default recipe. The + maintainer email is used in the cookbook metadata. The license + determines what preamble to put in the comment of the default recipe, + and is listed as the license in the cookbook metadata. Currently + supported licenses are "apachev2" and "none". Any other values will + result in an empty license in the metadata (needs to be filled in by the + author), and no comment preamble in the default recipe. Currently supported + readme formats are "md", "mkd", "txt", and "rdoc". Any other value will + result in an unformatted README. + +## FILES + +_~/.chef/knife.rb_ + +Ruby DSL configuration file for knife. See __CONFIGURATION__. + +## FORMATS + +The amount of content displayed and the output format are +modified by the `--format` option.
