Cookbook for Opscode Chef.
http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/service_factory
Fully functional … documentation WIP, and example usages coming soon !!
Generate services using native system features with the service_factory LWRPs.
Your recipe provides the configuration details, and the necessary files are generated to create a SysV or Upstart service, depending on what each OS prefers. (SystemD coming soon!!)
Supported Service Managers
- SysV (init.d, chkconfig, etc.)
- Upstart (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)
Supported Operating Systems The following are supported and verified through test-kitchen automated integration testing.
- Centos
- Ubuntu
Default Service Managers
Unless otherwise specified in the service_factory global config, the default service manager is SysV, and others are selected conditionally based on the distribution and version.
You can customize these defaults by adjusting the 'platform_map' node attribute, described below.
Cookbooks:: unix_bin , resource_masher , run_action_now
Resource attributes:: service_desc , exec , run_user , run_group
There is a full attribute listing towards end of README.
** Basic service (required elements) **
service_factory "my_service" do
service_desc "My Service"
exec "/opt/myapp/bin/run.sh"
run_user "nobody"
run_group "nobody"
action :create # can also :enable and :start here, use array
end
** Service with arguments or environment variables **
service_factory "my_service" do
service_desc "My Service"
exec "/opt/myapp/bin/run.sh"
exec_args "--port 1234" # can also be an array of strings
env_variables({ # variables must be in a hash
:SERVICE_VARIABLE => "value"
})
run_user "nobody"
run_group "nobody"
action :create
end
** Forked service **
It's really import to set the proper flag if the service forks. (Meaning that the script you're calling returns immediately and the service runs in the background.)
service_factory "my_service" do
service_desc "My Service"
exec "/opt/myapp/bin/run.sh"
exec_forks true
pid_file "/opt/myapp/var/run/myapp.pid"
run_user "nobody"
run_group "nobody"
action :create
end
** Notifications **
The service_factory resource can receive all standard service signals. It also creates a stock service resource you can notify as well.
some_resource "abc" do
notifies :start, "service_factory[my_service]"
end
some_resource "abc" do
notifies :start, "service[my_service]"
end
RESOURCE ACTIONS
:create , :delete , :start , :stop , :restart , :enable , :disable
Note: You can also use a standard Chef service resource to manage the service once created.

:exec
Full path to executable binary. (Required)
:exec_args = ""

:exec_umask = "0027"
umask set before execution
:exec_forks = false
Does executable fork at startup? (Important)
:process_name = basename %{exec}
Used to detect status and stop service.
:kill_timeout = 5
Number of seconds to wait before killing at stop/shutdown.
:before_start = ""
Shell commands to run before starting service.
:after_start = ""
Shell commands to run after starting service.
:before_stop = ""
Shell commands to run before stopping service.
:after_stop = ""
Shell commands to run after stopping service.
:base_path = ""
Prefix to FHS paths.
Ex. "/srv/myapp" => "/srv/myapp/etc/"
:var_subpath = ( %{run_user} == 'root' ? %{run_group} : %{service_name} )
Suffix added to var directories.
Ex. "myapp" => "/var/run/myapp/appname.pid"
:lock_file = %{base_path}/var/lock/subsys/%{service_name}
Full path to lock file.
:log_file = %{base_path}/var/log/%{var_subpath}/%{service_name}.log
Full path to log file.
:log_what = :none
What service output should be logged. (:std_out :std_err :std_all :none)
:pid_file {base_path}/var/run/{var_subpath}/{service_name}.pid
Full path to pid file.
:create_pid = %{exec_forks} ? false : true
If true the factory creates a pid file, otherwise the daemon should create it.
:env_variables = Hash.new
Shell environment variables to be exported into service
:path_variables = Hash.new
Additional variables injectable into path strings.
This cookbook only provides LWRPs, no recipes are included.
The following default node attributes govern the platform selection. You may customize the operation by appending/overwriting these in your node configuration.
default["service_factory"]["platform_map"]["default"] = "init"default["service_factory"]["platform_map"]["ubuntu"]["default"] = "upstart"
This package is test-kitchen enabled and automatically tested against:
- CentOS 5 and 6
- Ubuntu 10 and 12
A successful test appears as follows:
-----> Running bats test suite
1..6
ok 1 non-forked service
ok 2 forked service
ok 3 sighup restart (non-forked)
ok 4 sighup restart (forked)
ok 5 nobody service
ok 6 deleted service
Finished verifying <default-ubuntu-1004> (1m18.10s).
Tested system service provided by Unix Mock Service Daemon
