Configures /etc/resolv.conf, unless the nameservers attribute is empty. Search will be excluded if empty.

node['resolver']['search']
- Search list for host-name lookup.node['resolver']['nameservers']
- Required, an array of nameserver IP address strings; the default is an empty array, and the default recipe will not change resolv.conf if this is not set. See Usage.node['resolver']['options']
- a hash of resolv.conf options. See Usage for examples.node['resolver']['sortlist']
- Sortlist specified by IP-address-netmask pairs, separated by slashes. See Usage for examples.node['resolver']['domain']
- Local domain name. ifnil
, the domain is determined from the local hostname returned bygethostname(2)
.node['resolver']['chef_search']
- the search query used for finding nameservers in the from_server_role recipe. The default value is in the recipe.
Use one of the recipes to set up /etc/resolv.conf for your system(s).
Configure /etc/resolv.conf based on attributes.
Configure /etc/resolv.conf's nameservers based on a search for a specific role (by Chef environment).
Using the default recipe, set the resolver attributes in a role, for example from my base.rb:
"resolver" => {
"nameservers" => ["10.13.37.120", "10.13.37.40"],
"search" => "int.example.org",
"options" => {
"timeout" => 2, "rotate" => nil
},
"sortlist" => "10.13.37.0/255.255.192.0 10.13.0.0/255.255.255.0"
}
The resulting /etc/resolv.conf
will look like:
search int.example.org
nameserver 10.13.37.120
nameserver 10.13.37.40
options timeout:2 rotate
sortlist 10.13.37.0/255.255.192.0 10.13.0.0/255.255.255.0
Using the from_server_role
recipe, assign the node['resolver']['server_role']
attribute's role to a system that is the DNS resolver in the same Chef environment.
