Chef Cookbook for Mosh

Description

This cookbook will install Mosh.

Requirements

Cookbooks

Strictly speaking no additional cookbooks are required, so none are specific dependencies. However, depending on your platform and package manager, you may need the following cookbooks:

• apt - for apt_repository, used in the "package" recipe for Ubuntu < 12.04 to enable backports, where mosh is available.
• homebrew - if you're installing on Mac OS X and you wish to use homebrew, you'll need this cookbook to set brew as the default package manager, otherwise the package installation may fail (macports is the default provider on Mac OS X.
• runit - can be used to set up the mosh server daemon.
• bluepill - can be used to set up the mosh server daemon.

It is generally assumed that on the appropriate platforms you have otherwise included these cookbooks' recipes in the node's run list or in a base role.

Platforms

This cookbook should work on most platforms where Mosh is available as a package, and on others where it can be compiled from source.

Attributes

See attributes/default.rb for default values.

• node['mosh']['install_type'] - can be "package" or "source" and will determine which recipe is included in the default recipe.
• node['mosh']['version'] - version of Mosh to install from source
• node['mosh']['source_url'] - URL to the source tarball
• node['mosh']['source_checksum'] - SHA256 checksum of the source tarball
• node['mosh']['init_style'] - type of init system to use for setting up the mosh daemon(s).

Recipes

default

Includes package or source recipe based on the value of the node['mosh']['install_type'] attribute.

package

Installs the mosh package using the package installation instructions from the Mosh home page. Should work on the following platforms:

• Ubuntu
• Debian
• Fedora
• ArchLinux
• Gentoo
• Mac OS X

source

Usage
