如何将所有以 .txt 结尾的文件从食谱复制到厨师的节点？

Question

I have a chef cookbook that has a bunch of files that end in ".txt" in my /files/default folder. How can I add to my chef recipe a way to move all files that end in ".txt" from my files directory to a specific directory on my node?

Here is what I have:

remote_directory "/opt/info"  do
 source [/*.txt/]
 owner 'root'
 group 'root'
 mode '0640'
end

Answer 1

The source property of remote_directory resource takes a directory name in files/default of the cookbook, and not files.

So you should move your *.txt files to files/default/info . Example contents:

file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
file4.txt
file5.txt
file6.txt

Then in your recipe specify the info directory in which *.txt files are present:

remote_directory '/opt/info' do
  source 'info'
  owner 'root'
  group 'root'
  mode '0640'
end

This will copy all files from files/default/info of your cookbook to /opt/info on the node.
