This repository contains all infrastructure automation code that we use to set
up and configure servers, virtual machines, and applications for Kosmos hosted
services.
Chef cookbooks are written in Ruby, and based on [Chef Infra
resources](https://docs.chef.io/resources/). Some cookbooks contain integration
test suites based on [Test Kitchen](https://docs.chef.io/workstation/kitchen/).
Note: Manual configuration of servers and applications is highly discouraged,
and can be overwritten or lost without notice!
## Setup
### Install Chef Workstation
* macOS, Windows, RHEL, Ubuntu: https://docs.chef.io/workstation/install_workstation/
* Arch Linux: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chef-workstation
#### rbenv
If you use rbenv to manage Ruby versions on your system, install the
[rbenv-chef-workstation](https://github.com/docwhat/rbenv-chef-workstation)
plugin.
### Install gem dependencies
Clone this repository, `cd` into it, and run:
bundle install
## Common tasks
### Bootstrap a new host server
knife zero bootstrap root@server-name.kosmos.org --run-list "role[base],role[kvm_host]" --secret-file .chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret
### Bootstrap a new VM
knife zero bootstrap ubuntu@zerotier-ip-address -x ubuntu --sudo --run-list "role[base],role[kvm_guest]" --secret-file .chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret
### Run Chef Zero on a host server
knife zero converge -p2222 name:server-name.kosmos.org
### Run Chef Zero on a VM
knife zero converge -a knife_zero.host name:vm-name-23
### Update Chef Client on a server:
knife zero converge name:dev.kosmos.org --client-version 15.3.14
## Managing cookbooks
Cookbooks are managed via Berkshelf. Run `berks --help` for command help.
Install cookbooks listed in Berksfile:
berks install
Vendor installed cookbooks to the `cookbooks/` dir:
berks vendor cookbooks/ --delete
## "Expired" TLS certificates
If you encounter expired TLS certificates during a Chef run (e.g. for remote
files), the issue is likely that the certificate has been issued by Let's
Encrypt and Chef is still using its own, outdated CA cert store (see
[here](https://github.com/chef/chef/issues/12126#issuecomment-932067530) for
example).
As a hotfix, you can manually remove the "DST Root CA X3" cert from
`/opt/chef/embedded/ssl/cert.pem` on the machine you're trying to converge.
