chef-golang

This is a Go API client for Opscode's Chef.

Installation

Use go get to install chef-golang:

go get github.com/marpaia/chef-golang

Unit tests

There is a helper script in test/support/start_server.sh that will setup a goiardi server primed with unit-testing data. there is also an example knife config and a script named test/support/chef_config.sh.

If you don't have a local ~/.chef/knife.rb you can simply run these 3 commands:

./test/support/start_server.sh
./test/support/chef_config.sh
go test -v

to shutdown the server run test/support/stop_server.sh

The goiardi Server is listening on port 8443 and the keys and config are copied to /tmp/goiardi. If you want to setup your own knife.rb and not use the provided one.

External dependencies

This project has no external dependencies other than the Go standard library.

Examples

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"

    "github.com/marpaia/chef-golang"
)

var findNode = "neo4j.example.org"
var findCookbook = "neo4j"
var findRole = "Neo4j"

func main() {
    c, err := chef.Connect()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error:", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    c.SSLNoVerify = true

    // Print detailed information about a specific node
    node, ok, err := c.GetNode(findNode)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error:", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    if !ok {
        fmt.Println("\nCouldn't find that node!")
    } else {
        for i := 0; i < 80; i++ {
            fmt.Print("=")
        }

        fmt.Println("\nSystem info:", node.Name, "\n")

        fmt.Println("\n  [+] Filesystem Info")
        for partition, info := range node.Info.Filesystem {
            if info.PercentUsed != "" {
                fmt.Println("    - ", partition, "is", info.PercentUsed, "utilized")
            }
        }

        fmt.Println("\n  [+] Roles")
        for _, role := range node.Info.Roles {
            fmt.Println("    - ", role)
        }

        fmt.Println()
        for i := 0; i < 80; i++ {
            fmt.Print("=")
        }
    }

    // Print detailed information about a specific cookbook
    cookbook, ok, err := c.GetCookbook(findCookbook)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error:", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    if !ok {
        fmt.Println("\nCouldn't find that cookbook!")
    } else {
        fmt.Println("\n\nCookbook info:", findCookbook)
        for _, version := range cookbook.Versions {
            currentVersion, ok, err := c.GetCookbookVersion(findCookbook, version.Version)
            if err != nil {
                fmt.Println("Error:", err)
                os.Exit(1)
            }
            if ok {
                if len(currentVersion.Files) > 0 {
                    fmt.Println("\n  [+]", findCookbook, currentVersion.Version, "Cookbook Files")
                    for _, cookbookFile := range currentVersion.Files {
                        fmt.Println("    - ", cookbookFile.Name)
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        fmt.Println()
        for i := 0; i < 80; i++ {
            fmt.Print("=")
        }
    }

    // Print detailed information about a specific role
    role, ok, err := c.GetRole(findRole)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error:", err)
    }
    if !ok {
        fmt.Println("\nCouldn't find that role!")
    } else {
        fmt.Println("\n\nRole information:", role.Name)
        fmt.Println("\n[+] Runlist")
        for _, recipe := range role.RunList {
            fmt.Println("  - ", recipe)
        }
    }
}

Which will output something like this:
