blp-updatedb cookbook

Cookbook which configures UpdateDB.

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 gives you the ability to pass attributes to tune all of the settings in the updatedb config file. There are currently defaults set in the attributes. You can modify these as you please.
You can tweak the settings in the Policefile.rb or directly using attributes. All UpdateDB specific settings should use underscores like the examples below.

Recipe
