GoCD Cookbook

This cookbook is here to help you setup GoCD servers and agents in an automated way.

Scope

  • This cookbook can be used for installing and configuring a GoCD server and multiple GoCD agents.
  • On linux machines, the recipes used for installing the GoCD server and agents use the yum and apt repositories to install from. Zip installations are not supported.

Requirements

  • chef >= 12.6

Certain resource properties are broken in Chef 13. Check the deprecations in the changelog for more details.

Dependencies

  • apt
  • java
  • yum
  • windows (requires chef >= 12.6; for chef < 12.6 please use these additional dependency version constraints for compatibility with Chef 11: cookbook 'windows', '< 2.0')

Supported Platforms

This cookbook has been tested on the following platforms:

  • Ubuntu >= 12.04
  • Debian
  • CentOS >= 6
  • RedHat >= 6
  • Windows - no support yet, but PRs welcome :)

Usage

  1. Add this cookbook to your Chef Server, either by installing with knife or by adding it to your Berksfile: cookbook 'gocd', '~>1.3.2'

  2. Change the default configuration [attributes](# Go Server attributes) by overriding the node attributes:

    • via a role, or
    • by declaring it in another cookbook at a higher precedence levels
  3. Run the recipes on the specific nodes as:

    • chef-client --runlist 'recipe[gocd]' - This will install the GoCD server and agent on the same machine
    • chef-client --runlist 'recipe[gocd::server]' - This will install the GoCD server with specified configuration
    • chef-client --runlist 'recipe[gocd::agent]' - This will install the GoCD agent with specified configuration.

OR

Associate the recipes with the desired roles. Here's an example role with default recipes:
```
name 'demo'
description 'Sample role for using the go-cookbook'

default_attributes(
'gocd' => {
'version' => '17.3.0-4669',
'use_experimental' => true
}
)

run_list %w(
recipe[gocd]
)
```

1.0 release notes

This cookbook has undergone a major rewrite and has little to do with pre-1.0 versions.
If you have been using go-cookbook previously then please note that:

  • cookbook has been renamed to gocd, just like root namespace of attributes.
  • Windows support in on best-effort basis

Java

Please note that java 8 is recommended to run Go server and agents. This cookbook
sets node['java']['jdk_version'] at force_default level but it may not work properly
when you include java in node run_list before gocd cookbook. The safest approach
is to set java version in node attributes (in a role or environment).

Install method

Repository

By default installation source is done from apt or yum repositories from official sources at https://www.gocd.org/download/.

The apt repository can be overridden by changing any these attributes:

  • node['gocd']['repository']['apt']['uri'] = 'https://download.gocd.org/'
  • node['gocd']['repository']['apt']['components'] = [ '/' ]
  • node['gocd']['repository']['apt']['distribution'] = ''
  • node['gocd']['repository']['apt']['keyserver'] = 'pgp.mit.edu'
  • node['gocd']['repository']['apt']['key'] = 'https://download.gocd.org/GOCD-GPG-KEY.asc'

The yum repository can be overridden by changing any these attributes:

  • node['gocd']['repository']['yum']['baseurl'] = 'https://download.gocd.org'
  • node['gocd']['repository']['yum']['gpgcheck'] = true
  • node['gocd']['repository']['yum']['gpgkey'] = 'https://download.gocd.org/GOCD-GPG-KEY.asc'

Experimental channel

By default the GoCD cookbook installs latest stable version.
You can install gocd from the experimental channel by setting the node['gocd']['use_experimental'] attribute to true

From remote file

The cookbook can skip adding a package repository and instead install a GoCD server or agent by downloading a remote file and installing it directly via dpkg or rpm. To use this method, set node['gocd']['install_method'] to 'package_file' and set node['gocd']['package_file']['baseurl'] to point to the remote file (e.g. 'http://my/custom/url')

The final download URL of file is built based on platform and node['gocd']['version'] (e.g. using the example baseurl above, http://my/custom/url/go-agent-15.2.0-2520.deb)

GoCD Server

gocd::server will install and start a GoCD server.

Go Server attributes

The cookbook provides the following attributes to configure the GoCD server:

  • node['gocd']['server']['http_port'] - The server HTTP port. Defaults to 8153.
  • node['gocd']['server']['https_port'] - The server HTTPS port. Defaults to 8154.
  • node['gocd']['server']['max_mem'] - The server maximum JVM heap space. Defaults to 2048m.
  • node['gocd']['server']['min_mem'] - The server mimimum JVM heap space. Defaults to 1024m.
  • node['gocd']['server']['max_perm_gen'] - The server maximum JVM permgen space. Defaults to 400m.
  • node['gocd']['server']['work_dir'] - The server working directory. Defaults to /var/lib/go-server on linux, C:\GoServer on Windows.

Chef cookbook waits for the server to become responsive after restarting
the service. These attributes can be used to tune it:

  • node['gocd']['server']['wait_up']['retry_delay'] - pause in seconds between failed attempts.
  • node['gocd']['server']['wait_up']['retries'] - number of attempts before giving up. Set 0 to disable waiting at all. Defaults to 10

GoCD Agent

gocd::agent will install and start a GoCD agent. You can change the number of agents in node['gocd']['agent']['count']. The first
agent is called go-agent, next ones are go-agent-#.

gocd::agent recipe uses the GoCD agent LWRP internally.

Go Agent attributes

The cookbook provides the following attributes to configure the GoCD agent:

  • node['gocd']['agent']['go_server_url'] - URL of Go server that agent should connect to. It must start with https:// and end with /go. For example https://localhost:8154/go.
  • node['gocd']['agent']['daemon'] - Whether the agent should be daemonized. Defaults to true.
  • node['gocd']['agent']['vnc']['enabled'] - Whether the agent should start with VNC. (Uses DISPLAY=:3). Defaults to false.
  • node['gocd']['agent']['autoregister']['key'] - The agent autoregister key. If left alone, will be auto-detected. Defaults to nil.
  • node['gocd']['agent']['autoregister']['environments'] - The environments for the agent. Defaults to [].
  • node['gocd']['agent']['autoregister']['resources'] - The resources for the agent. Defaults to [].
  • node['gocd']['agent']['autoregister']['hostname'] - The agent autoregister hostname. Defaults to node['fqdn'].
  • node['gocd']['agent']['server_search_query'] - The chef search query to find a server node. Defaults to chef_environment:#{node.chef_environment} AND recipes:gocd\\:\\:server.

Please use node['gocd']['agent']['go_server_url'] instead of the following deprecated attributes:

  • node['gocd']['agent']['go_server_host'] - The hostname of the go server (if left alone, will be auto-detected). Defaults to nil.
  • node['gocd']['agent']['go_server_port'] - The port of the go server. Defaults to 8153.

GoCD Agent LWRP (currently only works on linux)

If the agent recipe + attributes is not flexible enough or if you prefer chef resources
then you can add go-agent services with the gocd_agent LWRP.

Example agents

All resource attributes fall back to node attributes so agent can be defined
in just one line:

gocd_agent 'my-agent'

It would create my-agent service and if all node values are correct then it
would also autoregister.

A custom agent may look like this:
ruby
gocd_agent 'my-go-agent' do
go_server_host 'go.example.com'
go_server_port 80
daemon true
vnc true
autoregister_key 'bla-key'
autoregister_hostname 'my-lwrp-agent'
autoregister_environments 'production'
autoregister_resources ['java-8','ruby-2.2']
workspace '/mnt/big_drive'
end

GoCD autoregister file resource

If you want to set up agents your-way then this resource is helpful to only
generate a valid autoregister.properties file:

Example use:
ruby
gocd_agent_autoregister_file '/var/mygo/autoregister.properties' do
autoregister_key 'bla-key'
autoregister_hostname 'mygo-agent'
autoregister_environments 'stage'
autoregister_resources ['java-8','ruby']
end

Can be used to prepare elastic agents too:
ruby
gocd_agent_autoregister_file '/var/elastic/autoregister.properties' do
autoregister_key 'some-key'
autoregister_hostname 'elastic-agent'
autoregister_environments 'testing'
autoregister_resources ['java-8']
elastic_agent_id 'agent-id'
elastic_agent_plugin_id 'elastic-agent-plugin-id'
end

GoCD plugin LWRP

You can install Go server plugins with the gocd_plugin LWRP like this

include_recipe 'gocd::server'

gocd_plugin 'github-pr-status' do
  plugin_uri 'https://github.com/gocd-contrib/gocd-build-status-notifier/releases/download/1.1/github-pr-status-1.1.jar'
end
