Adding a RPM repository

To configure a Cloudsmith repository for rpm packages using Chef, you use the Chef yum_repository resource.

Example yum_repository resource configurations:

Public Repository

yum_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  description 'Cloudsmith'
  baseurl 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/rpm/DISTRO/VERSION/$basearch'
  gpgcheck 'true'
  gpgkey 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
  action :create
end

Private Repository

yum_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  description 'Cloudsmith'
  baseurl 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/rpm/DISTRO/VERSION/$basearch'
  gpgcheck 'true'
  gpgkey 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
  action :create
end
yum_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  description 'Cloudsmith'
  baseurl 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/rpm/DISTRO/VERSION/$basearch'
  gpgcheck 'true'
  gpgkey 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
  username 'USERNAME'
  password 'PASSWORD'
  action :create
end
yum_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  description 'Cloudsmith'
  baseurl 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/rpm/DISTRO/VERSION/$basearch'
  gpgcheck 'true'
  gpgkey 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
  username 'USERNAME'
  password 'API-KEY'
  action :create
end
yum_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  description 'Cloudsmith'
  baseurl 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/rpm/DISTRO/VERSION/$basearch'
  gpgcheck 'true'
  gpgkey 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
  username 'token'
  password 'TOKEN'
  action :create
end

Adding a deb repository

To configure a Cloudsmith repository for deb packages using Chef, you use the Chef apt_repository resource.

Example apt_repository resource configurations:

Public Repository

apt_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  uri          'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/deb/DISTRO'
  arch         'ARCH'
  distribution 'VERSION'
  components   ['main']
  key          'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
end

Private Repository

apt_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  uri          'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/deb/DISTRO'
  arch         'ARCH'
  distribution 'VERSION'
  components   ['main']
  key          'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/TOKEN/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
end
apt_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  uri          'https://USERNAME:[email protected]/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/deb/DISTRO'
  arch         'ARCH'
  distribution 'VERSION'
  components   ['main']
  key          'https://USERNAME:[email protected]/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
end
apt_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  uri          'https://USERNAME:[email protected]/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/deb/DISTRO'
  arch         'ARCH'
  distribution 'VERSION'
  components   ['main']
  key          'https://USERNAME:[email protected]/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
end
apt_repository 'Cloudsmith' do
  uri          'https://token:[email protected]/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/deb/DISTRO'
  arch         'ARCH'
  distribution 'VERSION'
  components   ['main']
  key          'https://token:[email protected]/basic/OWNER/REPOSITORY/cfg/gpg/gpg.FINGERPRINT.key'
