file

Use the file resource to manage files directly on a node.

Note

Use the cookbook_file resource to copy a file from a cookbook’s /files directory. Use the template resource to create a file based on a template in a cookbook’s /templates directory. And use the remote_file resource to transfer a file to a node from a remote location.

Syntax

A file resource block manages files that exist on nodes. For example, to write the home page for an Apache website:

file '/var/www/customers/public_html/index.php' do
  content '<html>This is a placeholder for the home page.</html>'
  mode '0755'
  owner 'web_admin'
  group 'web_admi登录查看完整内容
