      system:
        ...
        package:
          package-name:
            version: latest

Linux with package from certail repo, version with no upgrades

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        ...
        package:
          package-name:
            version: 2132.323
            repo: 'custom-repo'
            hold: true

Linux with package from certail repo, version with no GPG verification

          package-name:
            version: 2132.323
            repo: 'custom-repo'
            verify: false

Linux with autoupdates (automatically install security package updates)

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        ...
        autoupdates:
          enabled: true
          mail: root@localhost
          mail_only_on_error: true
          remove_unused_dependencies: false
          automatic_reboot: true
          automatic_reboot_time: "02:00"

Linux with cron jobs

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        ...
        job:
          cmd1:
            command: '/cmd/to/run'
            enabled: true
            user: 'root'
            hour: 2
            minute: 0

Linux security limits (limit sensu user memory usage to max 1GB):

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        ...
        limit:
          sensu:
            enabled: true
            domain: sensu
            limits:
              - type: hard
                item: as
                value: 1000000

Enable autologin on tty1 (may work only for Ubuntu 14.04):

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        console:
          tty1:
            autologin: root
          # Enable serial console
          ttyS0:
            autologin: root
            rate: 115200
            term: xterm

To disable set autologin to `false`.

Set ``policy-rc.d`` on Debian-based systems. Action can be any available
command in ``while true`` loop and ``case`` context.
Following will disallow dpkg to stop/start services for cassandra package automatically:

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        policyrcd:
          - package: cassandra
            action: exit 101
          - package: '*'
            action: switch

Set system locales:

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        locale:
          en_US.UTF-8:
            default: true
          "cs_CZ.UTF-8 UTF-8":
            enabled: true

Kernel
~~~~~~

Install always up to date LTS kernel and headers from Ubuntu trusty:

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        kernel:
          type: generic
          lts: trusty
          headers: true

Load kernel modules and add them to `/etc/modules`:

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        kernel:
          modules:
            - nf_conntrack
            - tp_smapi
            - 8021q

Install specific kernel version and ensure all other kernel packages are
not present. Also install extra modules and headers for this kernel:

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        kernel:
          type: generic
          extra: true
          headers: true
          version: 4.2.0-22

Systcl kernel parameters

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        kernel:
          sysctl:
            net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl: 3
            net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time: 30
            net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes: 8


CPU
~~~

Disable ondemand cpu mode service:

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        cpu:
          governor: performance

Huge Pages
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Huge Pages give a performance boost to applications that intensively deal
with memory allocation/deallocation by decreasing memory fragmentation.

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        kernel:
          hugepages:
            small:
              size: 2M
              count: 107520
              mount_point: /mnt/hugepages_2MB
              mount: false/true # default false
            large:
              default: true # default automatically mounted
              size: 1G
              count: 210
              mount_point: /mnt/hugepages_1GB

Note: not recommended to use both pagesizes in concurrently.

Intel SR-IOV
~~~~~~~~~~~~

PCI-SIG Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing (SR-IOV) specification defines a standardized mechanism to virtualize PCIe devices. The mechanism can virtualize a single PCIe Ethernet controller to appear as multiple PCIe devices.

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        kernel:
          sriov: True
          unsafe_interrupts: False # Default is false. for older platforms and AMD we need to add interrupt remapping workaround
        rc:
          local: |
            #!/bin/sh -e
            # Enable 7 VF on eth1
            echo 7 > /sys/class/net/eth1/device/sriov_numvfs; sleep 2; ifup -a
            exit 0


Repositories
~~~~~~~~~~~~

RedHat based Linux with additional OpenStack repo

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        ...
        repo:
          rdo-icehouse:
            enabled: true
            source: 'http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-icehouse/epel-6/'
            pgpcheck: 0

Ensure system repository to use czech Debian mirror (``default: true``)
Also pin it's packages with priority 900.

.. code-block:: yaml

   linux:
     system:
       repo:
         debian:
           default: true
           source: "deb http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free"
           # Import signing key from URL if needed
           key_url: "http://dummy.com/public.gpg"
           pin:
             - pin: 'origin "ftp.cz.debian.org"'
               priority: 900
               package: '*'

rc.local example

.. code-block:: yaml

   linux:
     system:
       rc:
         local: |
           #!/bin/sh -e
           #
           # rc.local
           #
           # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
           # Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
           # value on error.
           #
           # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
           # bits.
           #
           # By default this script does nothing.
           exit 0

Prompt
~~~~~~

Setting prompt is implemented by creating ``/etc/profile.d/prompt.sh``. Every
user can have different prompt.

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        prompt:
          root: \\n\\[\\033[0;37m\\]\\D{%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S} $(hostname -f)\\[\\e[0m\\]\\n\\[\\e[1;31m\\][\\u@\\h:\\w]\\[\\e[0m\\]
          default: \\n\\D{%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S} $(hostname -f)\\n[\\u@\\h:\\w]

On Debian systems to set prompt system-wide it's necessary to remove setting
PS1 in ``/etc/bash.bashrc`` and ``~/.bashrc`` (which comes from
``/etc/skel/.bashrc``). This formula will do this automatically, but will not
touch existing user's ``~/.bashrc`` files except root.

Bash
~~~~

Fix bash configuration to preserve history across sessions (like ZSH does by
default).

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        bash:
          preserve_history: true

Message of the day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``pam_motd`` from package ``update-motd`` is used for dynamic messages of the
day. Setting custom motd will cleanup existing ones.

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        motd:
          - release: |
              #!/bin/sh
              [ -r /etc/lsb-release ] && . /etc/lsb-release

              if [ -z "$DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION" ] && [ -x /usr/bin/lsb_release ]; then
              	# Fall back to using the very slow lsb_release utility
              	DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=$(lsb_release -s -d)
              fi

              printf "Welcome to %s (%s %s %s)\n" "$DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION" "$(uname -o)" "$(uname -r)" "$(uname -m)"
          - warning: |
              #!/bin/sh
              printf "This is [company name] network.\n"
              printf "Unauthorized access strictly prohibited.\n"

RHEL / CentOS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Unfortunately ``update-motd`` is currently not available for RHEL so there's
no native support for dynamic motd.
You can still set static one, only pillar structure differs:

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        motd: |
          This is [company name] network.
          Unauthorized access strictly prohibited.

Haveged

If you are running headless server and are low on entropy, it may be a good
idea to setup Haveged.

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      system:
        haveged:
          enabled: true

            - ip link set $IFACE up
            down_cmds:
            - ip link set $IFACE down
          br-ex:
            enabled: true

        ...
        proxy:
          host: proxy.domain.com
          port: 3128

Linux with hosts

Parameter purge_hosts will enforce whole /etc/hosts file, removing entries
that are not defined in model except defaults for both IPv4 and IPv6 localhost
and hostname + fqdn.
It's good to use this option if you want to ensure /etc/hosts is always in a
clean state however it's not enabled by default for safety.

.. code-block:: yaml

    linux:
      network:
        ...
        purge_hosts: true
        host:
          # No need to define this one if purge_hosts is true
          hostname:
            address: 127.0.1.1
            names:
            - ${linux:network:fqdn}
            - ${linux:network:hostname}
          node1:
            address: 192.168.10.200
            names:
            - node2.domain.com
            - service2.domain.com
          node2:
            address: 192.168.10.201
            names:
            - node2.domain.com
            - service2.domain.com

            - 8.8.4.4
            - 8.8.8.8
          domain: my.example.com
          search:
            - my.example.com
            - example.com
