raucao a96a49c633 Cinc Client: install the current stable release, not a floating pin
The migration script installed Cinc with no version, which floated and
triggered omnitruck's "You are installing a package without a version pin"
warning. Pass -v latest so omnitruck resolves the current stable build for
the node's platform (20.04 -> 19.2.12, 22.04+/24.04/26.04 -> 19.4.46) and
the warning is suppressed. Document the behavior in the README.

Drop the stale chef_version: 18.2.7 pins from the Test Kitchen suites:
dokken defaults chef_version to "latest", so passing -v is what actually
tracks the current stable client.

Add the missing provisioner.product_name: cinc to the deno and strfry
submodule suites so they run Cinc instead of the license-gated Chef Infra
Client.

Submodule pointers:
  site-cookbooks/deno   3795c9e -> c78bc66
  site-cookbooks/strfry 9c04b39 -> 8107b1e

This repository contains all infrastructure automation code that we use to set
up and configure servers, virtual machines, and applications for Kosmos hosted
services.
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/).
Nodes run the community [Cinc Client](https://cinc.sh/) distribution of Chef
Infra Client instead of the license-gated Chef Infra Client. Everything — the
`knife zero` workflow and the Test Kitchen suites — is driven by
[Cinc Workstation](https://cinc.sh/docs/workstation/), and on-node
configuration lives in `/etc/cinc`.
Note: Manual configuration of servers and applications is highly discouraged,
and can be overwritten or lost without notice!
## Setup
### Install Cinc Workstation
Cinc Workstation replaces Chef Workstation. Install it following
https://cinc.sh/docs/workstation/ — or, on Arch Linux, the `cinc-workstation-bin`
AUR package. It installs to `/opt/cinc-workstation` and reads its user config
from `~/.cinc-workstation`.
#### rbenv
If you use rbenv to manage Ruby versions on your system, install the
`rbenv-cinc-workstation` plugin (the Cinc port of
[rbenv-chef-workstation](https://github.com/docwhat/rbenv-chef-workstation)),
create an empty `$(rbenv root)/versions/cinc-workstation` directory, and run
`rbenv rehash`. This repository pins the version in `.ruby-version`.
### Install knife-zero
`knife-zero` is not bundled with Cinc Workstation. Install it into Cinc's user
gem directory:
cinc gem install knife-zero
### Configure knife
Copy `.cinc/config.rb.example` to `.cinc/config.rb` and adjust
`encrypted_data_bag_secret` if your secret lives elsewhere.
## Common tasks
### Bootstrap a new host server
knife zero bootstrap root@server-name.kosmos.org --run-list "role[base],role[kvm_host]" --secret-file .cinc/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 .cinc/encrypted_data_bag_secret
### Bootstrap a new VM with environment and role/app (postgres replica as example)
knife zero bootstrap ubuntu@10.1.1.134 -x ubuntu --sudo --environment production --run-list "role[base],role[kvm_guest],role[postgresql_replica]" --secret-file .cinc/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 Cinc Client on a server
knife zero converge name:dev.kosmos.org --client-version latest
### Upgrade Cinc Client on a node
knife ssh -a knife_zero.host 'name:foo-1' 'curl -L https://omnitruck.cinc.sh/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -v latest'
The migration script (below) installs the **current stable** Cinc Client for the
node's platform (`-v latest`); omnitruck picks the right build per OS. Pass a
concrete version (e.g. `-v 19.2.12`) instead of `latest` if you need a true
freeze.
### Migrate an existing node to Cinc Client
scripts/knife/migrate_node_to_cinc.sh node-name-1 # then converge as usual
## 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
## Integration tests
Some cookbooks contain Test Kitchen suites. They are configured to run against
Cinc Client (`provisioner: product_name: cinc`) and use Cinc Workstation's
bundled `kitchen` (which ships a Cinc-capable `kitchen-dokken`):
kitchen test
(use `kitchen converge`/`verify` while iterating on a single suite).
