Lightweight resource and provider to install OS X applications (.app) from dmg files.
- Mac OS X
This resource will install a DMG "Package". It will retrieve the DMG from a remote URL, mount it using OS X's hdid
, copy the application/file to the specified destination (/Applications), and detach the image using hdiutil
. The dmg file will be stored in the Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]
. If you want to install an application or file that has already been downloaded (not using the source
parameter), copy it to the appropriate location. You can find out what directory this is with the following command on the node to run chef:
knife exec -E 'p Chef::Config[:file_cache_path]' -c /etc/chef/client.rb
Optionally, the LWRP can install an "mpkg" package using sudo installer
.
- :install - Installs the application (default action).
app
- This is the name of the application used by default for the /Volumes directory and the .app directory copied to /Applications.source
- remote URL for the dmg to download if specified. Default is nil.destination
- directory to copy the .app into. Default is /Applications.checksum
- sha256 checksum of the dmg to download. Default is nil.extension
- extension of file,String
orfalse
. Default is "app". When using "mpkg", the destination must be /Applications.volumes_dir
- Directory under /Volumes where the dmg is mounted. If not specified, the script will try to find the correct directory.dmg_name
- Specify the name of the dmg if it is not the same asapp
, or if the name has spaces.
Install /Applications/Tunnelblick.app
from the primary download site.
dmg_package "Tunnelblick" do
source "http://tunnelblick.googlecode.com/files/Tunnelblick_3.1.2.dmg"
checksum "a3fae60b6833175f32df20c90cd3a3603a"
end
Install Google Chrome. Uses the dmg_name
because the application name has spaces. Installs in /Applications/Google Chrome.app
.
dmg_package "Google Chrome" do
dmg_name "googlechrome"
source "https://dl-ssl.google.com/chrome/mac/stable/GGRM/googlechrome.dmg"
checksum "7daa2dc5c46d9bfb14f1d7ff4b33884325e5e63e694810adc58f14795165c91a"
end
Install Dropbox. Optionally you can use volumes_dir
to specify the mounted directory, but the script should automatically detect this for you. Installs in /Applications/Dropbox.app
.
dmg_package "Dropbox" do
volumes_dir "Dropbox Installer"
source "http://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=mac"
checksum "b4ea620ca22b0517b75753283ceb82326aca8bc3c86212fbf725de6446a96a13"
end
Install MacIrssi to ~/Applications
from the local file downloaded to the cache path into an Applications directory in the current user's home directory. Chef should run as a non-root user for this.
directory "#{ENV['HOME']}/Applications"
dmg_package "MacIrssi" do
destination "#{ENV['HOME']}/Applications"
end
Install Virtualbox to /Applications
from the .mpkg:
dmg_package "Virtualbox" do
source "http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.0.8/VirtualBox-4.0.8-71778-OSX.dmg"
extension "mpkg"
end
Install PastebotSync.prefPane to ~/Library/PreferencePanes
. When setting the extension
to prefPane
the default destination
becomes ~/Library/PreferencePanes
. You can also specify a custom destination like /Library/PreferencePanes
to install the prefPane for all users.
dmg_package 'PastebotSync' do source 'http://tapbots.net/pastebot/PastebotSync.dmg' extension 'prefPane' end
A few things remain outstanding to make this cookbook "1.0" quality.
- support downloading a .dmg.zip and unzipping it
- specify a local .dmg already downloaded in another location (like ~/Downloads)
Some things that would be nice to have at some point.
- be able to automatically accept license agreements
