Components of the Chef Infra Server

This repository contains the core services that make up the Chef Infra Server.

|-- oc-chef-pedant: A comprehensive test suite for the Chef Infra Server API
|-- omnibus: Omnibus build configuration for the Chef Infra Server
|-- scripts: Utility scripts
`-- src
    |-- bookshelf: S3-compatible engine for storing cookbook data
    |-- oc-id: OAuth2 provider for extensions like Supermarket
    |-- oc_bifrost: Chef Infra Server's authorization service
    |-- oc_erchef: The core REST API server
    |-- chef-server-ctl: The Chef Infra Server's command line management utility

Working on the Chef Infra Server

The quickest way to get a Chef Infra Server development environment is to follow the instructions in the dev directory. This environment is based on Vagrant and features hot reloading of code.

Building a Chef Infra Server package locally

You can build a Chef Infra Server package locally with HashiCorp Vagrant and Test Kitchen.

cd omnibus/
make dev dev-build

Once the build is complete, the package should be in omnibus/pkg. By default the dev-build target will create an Ubuntu 18.04 build.

Habitized Chef Infra Server

The following components now exist as Habitat packages and are available here:

  • nginx
  • bookshelf
  • oc_id
  • oc_erchef
  • oc_bifrost
  • chef-server-ctl

To build the packages locally:

./habitat_pkgs_build.sh

A top-level docker-compose.yml file exists for running Chef Infra Server from Habitized Docker images:

docker-compose down && docker system prune --volumes -f && docker-compose up

Running pedant tests:

docker-compose exec chef-server-ctl chef-server-test

Running chef-server-ctl:

docker-compose exec chef-server-ctl chef-server-ctl command (subcommands)

Dependencies contained in other repositories

  • knife-ec-backup, used to backup your Chef Infra Server for disaster recovery or migrations.
  • knife-opc, used to provide administrative command-line control to the Chef Infra Server from the console

Major Technologies used in Chef Infra Server

  • Erlang
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • Elasticsearch
  • Nginx (openresty with lpeg library addition)
  • Runit for service supervision

If you're looking to contribute to certain parts of the Chef Infra Server, familiarity with the following related tools is also beneficial, depending on the area.

  • rebar (used for dependency management in Erlang)
  • sqitch (database migrations)
  • lua (routing rules in openresty)

Chef Expeditor

The chef/chef-server repository, like many other Chef Software repositories, leverages an internal utility called Chef Expeditor to create a pub-sub model of actions across our various CI/CD utilities.
