The HTTPS Certificate

This cookbook uses the ssl_certificate cookbook to create the HTTPS certificate. The namespace used is node['boxbilling']. For example:

node.default['boxbilling']['common_name'] = 'boxbilling.example.com'
node.default['boxbilling']['config']['license'] = '...' # BB_LICENSE key
include_recipe 'boxbilling'

See the ssl_certificate namespace documentation for more information.

Encrypted Attributes

This cookbook can use the encrypted_attributes cookbook to encrypt the secrets generated during the Chef Run. This feature is disabled by default, but can be enabled setting the node['boxbilling']['encrypt_attributes'] attribute to true. For example:

include_recipe 'encrypted_attributes::users_data_bag'
node.default['boxbilling']['encrypt_attributes'] = true
node.default['boxbilling']['config']['license'] = '...' # BB_LICENSE key
inclure_recipe 'boxbilling'

This will create the following encrypted attributes:

node['boxbilling']['admin']['pass']: BoxBilling admin password.
node['boxbilling']['mysql']['root']: MySQL root user password.
node['boxbilling']['mysql']['debian']: MySQL debian user password.
node['boxbilling']['mysql']['repl']: MySQL repl user password.
node['boxbilling']['config']['db_password']: MySQL BoxBilling user password.

Read the chef-encrypted-attributes gem documentation to learn how to read them.

Recipes

boxbilling::default

Installs and configures BoxBilling. Including the MySQL server if set to localhost.

boxbilling::api

Installs the requirementes to use the boxbilling_api resource.

boxbilling::mysql

Installs MySQL server for BoxBilling.

Resources

boxbilling_api[path]

This resource uses the BoxBilling v2 Admin API with some modifications:

Some paths has been normalized, the action has been removed from the path and the resource action is issued instead.
The update action is simulated for some objects that do not support it, using delete and create.
All the action names has been simplified to create, update and delete.

Note: Keep in mind that some API calls require self-generated/auto-incremented MySQL identifiers. So their use can become difficult sometimes.

boxbilling_api Actions

request (default): Sends a HTTP raw API request.
create: Sends a create action to the API object.
update: Sends an update action to the API object.
delete: Send a delete action to the API object.

boxbilling_api Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
path	name	BoxBilling API relative path. For example: `'admin/product'`.
data	`{}`	Data to send as hash.
debug	calculated	Whether to enable debug mode.
ignore_failure	`false`	Ignore API HTTP errors.

Usage

You need a valid BoxBilling license key to use this cookbook. You can get a new license in the BoxBilling order page.

Including in a Cookbook Recipe

You can simply include it in a recipe:

# in your recipe
node.default['boxbilling']['config']['license'] = '...' # BB_LICENSE key
include_recipe 'boxbilling'

Don't forget to include the boxbilling cookbook as a dependency in the metadata:

# metadata.rb
depends 'boxbilling'

Including in the Run List

Another alternative is to include it in your Run List:

{
  "name": "client.example.com",
  "[...]": "[...]",
  "normal": {
    "boxbilling": {
      "config": {
        "license": "BB_LICENSE"
      }
    }
  },
  "run_list": [
    "[...]",
    "recipe[boxbilling]"
  ]
}

Installing BoxBilling 3

To install BoxBilling version 3, you must change the node['boxbilling']['download_url'] attribute.

You can use GitHub to download the release. For example:

node.default['boxbilling']['config']['license'] = '...' # BB_LICENSE key
node.default['boxbilling']['download_url'] = 'http://files.zuazo.org/boxbilling-3.6.11.zip'

include_recipe 'boxbilling::default'

boxbilling::default Recipe Usage Example

node.default['boxbilling']['config']['license'] = '...' # BB_LICENSE key
include_recipe 'boxbilling::default'

boxbilling::api Recipe Usage Example

include_recipe 'boxbilling::api'

boxbilling::mysql Recipe Usage Example
