nsd-formula

A SaltStack formula that manages NSD.

It intentionally provides only minimalistic configuration. Use the TOFS pattern<https://template-formula.readthedocs.io/en/latest/TOFS_pattern.html> to alter the configuration to your needs.

You'll need to write the zone files yourself, obviously. This formula will tell NSD to compile them into it's DB and provide a configuration file for you to include.

Available states

nsd

Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).

This installs the nsd package, manages the nsd configuration file and then starts the associated nsd service.

nsd.package

This state will install the nsd package only.

nsd.config

This state will configure the nsd service and has a dependency on nsd.install via include list.

nsd.service

This state will start the nsd service and has a dependency on nsd.config via include list.

nsd.clean

Meta-state (This is a state that includes other states).

this state will undo everything performed in the nsd meta-state in reverse order, i.e. stops the service, removes the configuration file and then uninstalls the package.

nsd.service.clean

This state will stop the nsd service and disable it at boot time.

nsd.config.clean

This state will remove the configuration of the nsd service and has a dependency on nsd.service.clean via include list.

nsd.package.clean

This state will remove the nsd package and has a depency on nsd.config.clean via include list.

Testing

Linux testing is done with kitchen-salt.

Requirements

• Ruby
• Docker

$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ bin/kitchen test [platform]

Where [platform] is the platform name defined in kitchen.yml, e.g. debian-9-2019-2-py3.

bin/kitchen converge

Creates the docker instance and runs the nsd main state, ready for testing.

bin/kitchen verify

Runs the inspec tests on the actual instance.

bin/kitchen destroy

Removes the docker instance.

bin/kitchen test

Runs all of the stages above in one go: i.e. destroy + converge + verify + destroy.

bin/kitchen login

Gives you SSH access to the instance for manual testing.
