Usage

First, set your Linode API token in an environment variable:

export LINODE_TOKEN='myrandomtoken123123213h123bh12'

Then, create a .kitchen.yml file:

---
driver:
  name: linode

provisioner:
  name: salt_solo
  formula: vim
  state_top:
    base:
      "*":
        - vim

platforms:
  - name: linode/debian10

suites:
  - name: default

then you're ready to run kitchen test or kitchen converge

kitchen test

If you want to use Vagrant for local tests and Linode for CI tests then you can add the following to your .kitchen.yml to automatically switch the driver if the LINODE_TOKEN environment variable is set:

driver:
  name: <%= ENV['LINODE_TOKEN'] ? 'linode' : 'vagrant' %>

platforms:
  - name: debian-10
    driver:
      box: bento/debian-10
      image: linode/debian10

suites:
  - name: default

Note that both the image (linode) and the box (vagrant) options are supplied in the platform driver configuration.

If you want to change any of the default settings, you can do so in the 'platforms' area:

# ...<snip>...
platforms:
  - name: ubuntu_lts
    driver:
      type: g6-standard-2
      region: eu-central
      image: linode/ubuntu20.04
# ...<snip>...

Development

Pull requests are very welcome! Make sure your patches are well tested. Ideally create a topic branch for every separate change you make. For example:

  1. Fork the repo
  2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
  3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Added some feature')
  4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
  5. Create new Pull Request
