blp-grub cookbook

Cookbook which configures the Grub Bootloader.

Platforms

The following platforms are tested automatically
using Test Kitchen, in Docker, with
the default suite of integration tests:

• Ubuntu 12.04/14.04/16.04
• CentOS (RHEL) 6/7

Basic Usage

The [default recipe](recipes/default.rb) gives you the ability to pass
attributes to tune your grub settings. There are currently no
defaults in this cookbook so your regular distrobution provided grub
file will remain intact. You can tweak the settings in the
Policefile.rb or directly using attributes. All GRUB specific settings
should use underscores like the examples below.

Recipe

node.default['grub']['config']['settings']['timeout'] = 30
node.default['grub']['config']['settings']['distributor'] = "$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
node.default['grub']['config']['settings']['terminal_output'] = "console"

Policyfile

default_source :community
run_list 'blp-grub::default'

override['grub']['config']['settings']['timeout'] = 30
override['grub']['config']['settings']['distributor'] = "$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)"
override['grub']['config']['settings']['terminal_output'] = "console"
