[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: How do I configure /etc/network/interfaces using chef?

Ohai !

I'm working regularly with this cookbook's author. Don't hesitate to create a github issue asking for some doc if you feel the need to.

Actually I'm using this very simple resource to manage my server's eth0 :

network_interfaces 'eth0' do
  target '10.10.16.203'
  mask '255.255.128.0'
  gateway '10.10.1.253'
end

there is other options you can use, you'd better look at lwrp ressource file to understand how it can work, and what can be changed :

attribute :device,     kind_of: String, name_attribute: true
attribute :bridge,     kind_of: [TrueClass, FalseClass, Array]
attribute :bridge_stp, kind_of: [TrueClass, FalseClass]
attribute :bond,       kind_of: [TrueClass, FalseClass, Array]
attribute :bond_mode,  kind_of: String

attribute :vlan_dev,   kind_of: String
attribute :onboot,     kind_of: [TrueClass, FalseClass], default: true
attribute :bootproto,  kind_of: String

attribute :target,     kind_of: String
attribute :gateway,    kind_of: String
attribute :metric,     kind_of: Integer

attribute :mtu,        kind_of: Integer
attribute :mask,       kind_of: String
attribute :network,    kind_of: String

attribute :broadcast,  kind_of: String
attribute :pre_up,     kind_of: String
attribute :up,         kind_of: String

attribute :post_up,    kind_of: String
attribute :pre_down,   kind_of: String
attribute :down,       kind_of: String

attribute :post_down,  kind_of: String
attribute :custom,     kind_of: Hash

Are there some usage examples? This cookbook's documentation is severely lacking - I'm not proficient with Chef yet, so I'm having a hard time understanding how to use it.

cheers,

Not sure if this is useful for your particular case but if what you’re trying to do is set up some existing physical NICs (or virtual NICs if you’re in a cloud computing environment) there is a cookbook for that:

I'm going to take an initial whack at this, and say I "think" its going to be something like

node[network][interfaces].each do |nic|

[whatever you want to do here]

Youll probably wanna add a bit of logic just after that first line to help ignore it is the nic is the lo nic.

Other will certainly improve on this.

I'm looking for a way to configure N (N=3) ubuntu nodes with 2 network interfaces each - since I'm a complete newb, what is the proper way to do it?
