Primary LanguageRuby

Travis CI

Description

Installs and configures Sphinx search (searchd). Installation can by from source (http or svn) or package.

Attributes

Thanks to several contributions this cookbook has a lot of flexibility. See attributes/default.rb for a full list of attributes and capabilities.

Usage Examples

Source Install From HTTP

Install version 2.0.8 from source.

name "sphinx"
description "Sphinx search daemon (searchd)"

# List of recipes and roles to apply. Requires Chef 0.8, earlier versions use 'recipes()'.
run_list(
  "role[base]",
  "recipe[sphinx]",
)

# Attributes applied if the node doesn't have it set already.
default_attributes({
  'sphinx' => {
    'use_mysql'   => true,
    'install_method' => 'source',
    'version' => '2.0.8'
  }
})

# Attributes applied no matter what the node has set already.
#override_attributes()

Source Install From SVN

By default, this will grab HEAD from trunk.

name "sphinx"
description "Sphinx search daemon (searchd)"

# List of recipes and roles to apply. Requires Chef 0.8, earlier versions use 'recipes()'.
run_list(
  "role[base]",
  "recipe[sphinx]",
)

# Attributes applied if the node doesn't have it set already.
default_attributes({
  'sphinx' => {
    'use_mysql'   => true,
    'install_method' => 'source',
    'retrieve_method' => 'svn'
  }
})

# Attributes applied no matter what the node has set already.
#override_attributes()

Package Install + MySQL Support

Here is an example role using MySQL with a package install, using the latest packages.

name "sphinx"
description "Sphinx search daemon (searchd)"

# List of recipes and roles to apply. Requires Chef 0.8, earlier versions use 'recipes()'.
run_list(
  "role[base]",
  "recipe[sphinx]",
)

# Attributes applied if the node doesn't have it set already.
default_attributes({
  'sphinx' => {
    'use_mysql'   => true,
    'install_method' => 'package'
  }
})

# Attributes applied no matter what the node has set already.
#override_attributes()
