Usage

Add the cookbook to your Berksfile:

Add the tools cookbook to your runlist, e.g. in a role:

{
  "name": "default",
  "chef_type": "role",
  "json_class": "Chef::Role",
  "run_list": [
      "recipe[codenamephp_dev::chrome]"
  ]
}

Note that the default recipe is a No-Op, so you need to add the tools you want

Attributes

resolver

• ['resolver']['nameservers'] The array of ips to add to the resolver config. Defaults to ['127.0.0.1', '8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4', '10.0.2.3'] ## Recipes

Default

The default cookbook (as stated multiple times) is a No-Op. Pick and choose the tools you want via the recipes.

Chrome

Adds the google apt repository and installs Google Chrome from package.

DNSMasq

Purges the Avahi Deamon which is installed at least on Ubuntu and tends to occupy ports. Also the resolver Cookbook
is used to add localhost, Google DNS and 10.0.2.3 which is needed in [VirtualBox][virutalbox_url] for network operations to work.
The IPs can be overridden/added to via the attributes.

At last, DNSMasq is installed and the local domain and all subdomains is resolved to 127.0.0.1.

gnome-terminal

Just installs the gnome-terminal from package.

Unzip

Just installs unzip from package (no gui client is installed)

VSCode

Adds the VSCode package repository to apt and installs VSCode from package.
