Description

Configures /etc/resolv.conf, unless the nameservers attribute is empty.

Attributes

See attributes/default.rb for default values.

  • node['resolver']['search'] - the search domain to use
  • node['resolver']['nameservers'] - Required, an array of nameserver IP address strings; the default is an empty array, and the default recipe will not change resolv.conf if this is not set. See Usage.
  • node['resolver']['options'] - a hash of resolv.conf options. See Usage for examples.

Recipes

Use one of the recipes to set up /etc/resolv.conf for your system(s).

default

Configure /etc/resolv.conf based on attributes.

from_server_role

Configure /etc/resolv.conf's nameservers based on a search for a specific role (by Chef environment).

Usage

Using the default recipe, set the resolver attributes in a role, for example from my base.rb:

"resolver" => {
  "nameservers" => ["10.13.37.120", "10.13.37.40"],
  "search" => "int.example.org",
  "options" => {
    "timeout" => 2, "rotate" => nil
  }
}

The resulting /etc/resolv.conf will look like:

domain int.example.org
search int.example.org
nameserver 10.13.37.120
nameserver 10.13.37.40
options timeout:2 rotate

Using the from_server_role recipe, assign the node['resolver']['server_role'] attribute's role to a system that is the DNS resolver in the same Chef environment.
