Resources

Usage

It is recommended to create a project or organization specific wrapper cookbook (opens in a new tab) and add the desired custom resources to the run list of a node.

Example of configuring a node with nameservers, a search list and a local domain.

resolver_config '/etc/resolv.conf' do
  nameservers ['1.1.1.1', '1.0.0.1']
  domain 'test.com'
  search ['test1.com', 'test2.com']
  options(
    'timeout' => 2
  )
end

The resulting /etc/resolv.conf will look like:

domain test.com
search test1.com test2.com
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1
options timeout:2
