zypper_repository resource¶

[edit on GitHub]

Use the zypper_repository resource to create Zypper package repositories on SUSE Enterprise Linux and openSUSE systems. This resource maintains full compatibility with the zypper_repository resource in the existing zypper cookbook.

New in Chef Client 13.3.

Syntax¶

The zypper_repository resource has the following syntax:

zypper_repository 'name' do
  autorefresh            true, false # default value: true
  baseurl                String
  cookbook               String
  description            String
  enabled                true, false # default value: true
  gpgautoimportkeys      true, false # default value: true
  gpgcheck               true, false # default value: true
  gpgkey                 String
  keeppackages           true, false # default value: false
  mirrorlist             String
  mode                   String, Integer # default value: 0644
  path                   String
  priority               Integer # default value: 99
  refresh_cache          true, false # default value: true
  repo_name              String # default value: 'name' unless specified
  source                 String
  type                   String # default value: NONE
  action                 Symbol # defaults to :create if not specified
end

where:

zypper_repository is the resource.
name is the name given to the resource block.
action identifies which steps the chef-client will take to bring the node into the desired state.
autorefresh, baseurl, cookbook, description, enabled, gpgautoimportkeys, gpgcheck, gpgkey, keeppackages, mirrorlist, mode, path, priority, refresh_cache, repo_name, source, and type are the properties available to this resource.

Actions¶

The zypper_repository resource has the following actions:

:add

Default action. Add a new Zypper repository.

:remove

Remove a Zypper repository.

:refresh

Refresh a Zypper repository.

Properties¶

The zypper_repository resource has the following properties:

autorefresh

Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: true

Determines whether or not the repository should be refreshed automatically.

baseurl

Ruby Type: String

The base URL for the Zypper repository, such as http://download.opensuse.org.

cookbook

Ruby Type: String

The cookbook to source the repository template file from. Only necessary if you’re not using the built in template.

description

Ruby Type: String

The description of the repository that will be shown by the zypper repos command.

enabled

Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: true

Determines whether or not the repository should be enabled.

gpgautoimportkeys

Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: true

Automatically import the specified key when setting up the repository.

gpgcheck

Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: true

Determines whether or not to perform a GPG signature check on the repository.

gpgkey

Ruby Type: String

The location of the repository key to be imported.

keeppackages

Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: false

Determines whether or not packages should be saved.

mirrorlist

Ruby Type: String

The URL of the mirror list that will be used.

mode

Ruby Type: String, Integer | Default Value: 0644

The file mode of the repository file.

notifies

Ruby Type: Symbol, ‘Chef::Resource[String]’

A resource may notify another resource to take action when its state changes. Specify a 'resource[name]', the :action that resource should take, and then the :timer for that action. A resource may notify more than one resource; use a notifies statement for each resource to be notified.

A timer specifies the point during the Chef Client run at which a notification is run. The following timers are available:

:before: Specifies that the action on a notified resource should be run before processing the resource block in which the notification is located.
:delayed: Default. Specifies that a notification should be queued up, and then executed at the end of the Chef Client run.
:immediate, :immediately: Specifies that a notification should be run immediately, per resource notified.

The syntax for notifies is:

notifies :action, 'resource[name]', :timer

path

Ruby Type: String

The relative path from the repository’s base URL.

priority

Ruby Type: Integer | Default Value: 99

Determines the priority of the Zypper repository.

refresh_cache

Ruby Type: true, false | Default Value: true

Determines whether or not the package cache should be refreshed.

repo_name

Ruby Type: String | Default Value: 'name'

Specifies the repository name, if it differs from the resource name.

source

Ruby Type: String

The name of the template for the repository file. Only necessary if you’re not using the built in template.

subscribes

Ruby Type: Symbol, ‘Chef::Resource[String]’

A resource may listen to another resource, and then take action if the state of the resource being listened to changes. Specify a 'resource[name]', the :action to be taken, and then the :timer for that action.

Note that subscribes does not apply the specified action to the resource that it listens to - for example:

file '/etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt' do
   mode '0600'
   owner 'root'
end

service 'nginx' do
   subscribes :reload, 'file[/etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt]', :immediately
end

In this case the subscribes property reloads the nginx service whenever its certificate file, located under /etc/nginx/ssl/example.crt, is updated. subscribes does not make any changes to the certificate file itself, it merely listens for a change to the file, and executes the :reload action for its resource (in this example nginx) when a change is detected.

A timer specifies the point during the Chef Client run at which a notification is run. The following timers are available:

:before: Specifies that the action on a notified resource should be run before processing the resource block in which the notification is located.
:delayed: Default. Specifies that a notification should be queued up, and then executed at the end of the Chef Client run.
:immediate, :immediately: Specifies that a notification should be run immediately, per resource notified.

The syntax for subscribes is:

subscribes :action, 'resource[name]', :timer

type

Ruby Type: String | Default Value: NONE

Specifies the repository type.

Examples¶

Add a repository

This example adds the “Apache” repository for OpenSUSE Leap 42.2:

zypper_repository 'apache' do
  baseurl 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache'
  path '/openSUSE_Leap_42.2'
  type 'rpm-md'
  priority '100'
end
