This cookbook is only being tested against Chef 11.4.4 at this time.

In order to use this cookbook, you'll need to "wrap" it in an implementing cookbook with all of the ACL templates, or specific ACL patterns you wish to apply.

To begin, simply add include_recipe "posix-acl::default" to your implementing cookbook. This will ensure that acl support is enabled and that the requisite OS package is installed.

After adding the default recipe, you will need to override the default attributes so that they match your environment.

This is an example of how to create a template from within your wrapper cookbook:

posix_acl_manage_template 'vagrant_template' do
  action :create # This can also be :delete
  template_name 'vagrant_template'
  template_content %w{
    user::rwx
    user:vagrant:rwx
    group::rwx
    group:vagrant:rwx
    mask::rwx
    other::r-X
    default:user::rwx
    default:user:vagrant:rwx
    default:group::rwx
    default:group:vagrant:rwx
    default:mask::rwx
    default:other::r-X
  }
end

This is an example of applying ACLs from a template that has been created:

posix_acl_manage_acl 'apply_vagrant' do action :apply # This can also be :remove apply_to '/opt' # The path to apply ACLs to. template_name 'vagrant_template' # If you are removing ACLs, you don't need this. recursive true # If your 'apply_to' value is a file, this must be false. end

default['posix_acl']['fstab_path'] = '/etc/fstab'

default['posix_acl']['fstab_backup'] = '/etc/fstab.bak'

default['posix_acl']['mount_point_device'] = 'LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs'

default['posix_acl']['mount_point'] = '/'

default['posix_acl']['template_store'] = '/usr/local/lib'
