Attributes

This cookbook can't be configured with any attribute, but the ohai plugin exports many automatic attributes. It exports any item returned by the scw-metadata util, with the key in lowercase. Useful attributes include:

name: The name of the server
public_ip_address: The public IP of your server
private_ip: The private IP address of your server
ssh_public_keys: The public keys defined in your account
commercial_type: 'C1' or 'VC1M' for example
ipv6_address
ipv6_netmask
ipv6_gateway

Usage

ohai-scaleway::default

Include ohai-scaleway in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[ohai-scaleway]"
  ]
}

Then, to avoid reloading ohai at every-run, add the plugin folder into the ohai.plugin_path (can bet set in chef-client.rb) The plugin is installed in the ohai/plugins folder of your chef conf folder (usually /etc/chef). .

On standard setup, you can just add ohai.plugin_path << '/etc/chef/ohai/plugins' to /etc/chef/chef-client.rb (or Ohai::Config[:plugin_path] << '/etc/chef/ohai/plugins' on older versions)
