push-jobs-client.rb

[edit on GitHub]

A push-jobs-client.rb file is used to specify the configuration details for the Chef Push Jobs client.

  • This file is loaded every time this executable is run
  • This file is not created by default
  • When a push-jobs-client.rb file is present in the default location, the settings contained within that file will override the default configuration settings

Settings

This configuration file has the following settings:

allow_unencrypted

Allow unencrypted connections to 1.x servers. Default value: false

chef_server_url

The URL for the Chef Infra Server. For example:

https://localhost/organizations/ORG_NAME
client_key

The location of the file that contains the client key. Default value: /etc/chef/client.pem.

file_dir

The directory for temporary files. Default value: /tmp/chef-push.

node_name

The unique identifier of the node.

ssl_verify_mode

Set the verify mode for HTTPS requests.

  • Use :verify_none to do no validation of SSL certificates.
  • Use :verify_peer to do validation of all SSL certificates, including the Chef Infra Server connections, S3 connections, and any HTTPS remote_file resource URLs used in a Chef Infra Client run. This is the recommended setting.

Depending on how OpenSSL is configured, the ssl_ca_path may need to be specified. Default value: :verify_peer.

trusted_certs_dir

The location of trusted certificates. Default value: '/etc/chef/trusted_certs'.

whitelist

A Hash that contains the whitelist used by Chef Push Jobs. For example:

whitelist {
  'job-name' => 'command',
  'job-name' => 'command',
  'chef-client' => 'chef-client'
}
