Usage

Attributes

You may notice that some attribute names contain .top_level. This is to aid rendering special configuration settings that have other settings nested beneath them.

A quick example:

search is a setting, but it also has search.solr.start_timeout and search.solr.port beneath it:

default['riak']['config']['search.top_level'] = 'off'
default['riak']['config']['search']['solr']['start_timeout'] = '30s'
default['riak']['config']['search']['solr']['port'] = 8093

These attributes render as:

search = off
search.solr.start_timeout = 30s
search.solr.port = 8093

Installation Methods

There are several installation methods for Riak supported by this cookbook. All require that the node's run_list contain the default riak recipe.

For more precise examples, please see the .kitchen.yml file.

Package

This is the default method of installation. Ensure that node['riak']['install_method'] is set to package.

Enterprise Package

For Riak Enterprise users, installing the Enterprise package requires setting one attribute:

default['riak']['package']['enterprise_key'] = '*******'

Custom Package

If you want to install a custom package of Riak (that isn't available in your operating system's package repository), ensure that the following attributes are set appropriately:

default['riak']['install_method'] = 'custom_package'
default['riak']['package']['local']['checksum'] = 'db290d17208861b2eb8694d2eb3d1dc8e7ad280edf577fac8bd355446ca6b85a'
default['riak']['package']['local']['url'] = 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.basho.com/riak/2.0/2.0.2/ubuntu/precise'

NOTE: FreeBSD uses custom_package regardless.

Custom Repository

If you have a package repository setup on your operating system (that isn't Basho's) and want to install Riak from there, ensure that node['riak']['install_method'] is set to custom_repository.

NOTE: This will fail unless the package repository is configured beforehand (earlier in run_list)

Source

If you want to install Riak (and Erlang) from source, ensure that node['riak']['install_method'] is set to source.
