Introduction

What is goss?

Goss is a serverspec-like tool for validating a server's configuration. It eases the process of generating tests by assuming the user already has a properly configured machine from which they can derive system state. Once the test suite is generated they can be executed on any other host for the full TDD experience.

Why use goss?
  • Goss is EASY! - Goss in 45 seconds
  • Goss is FAST! - small-medium tests suits run in less than a second
  • Goss is SMALL! - single self-contained binary
  • Goss is UNIXY! - small, does one thing and does it well, chainable through pipes
Limitations

Currently goss only runs on Linux.

The following tests have limitations.

Package:

  • rpm
  • deb

Service:

  • systemd
  • sysV init

Installation

curl -L https://github.com/aelsabbahy/goss/releases/download/v0.0.3/goss-linux-amd64 > /usr/local/bin/goss && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/goss

Usage

NAME:
   goss - Quick and Easy server validation

USAGE:
   goss [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

VERSION:
   0.0.2

COMMANDS:
   validate, v  Validate system
   render, r    render gossfile after imports
   autoadd, aa  automatically add all matching resource to the test suite
   add, a       add a resource to the test suite
   help, h      Shows a list of commands or help for one command

GLOBAL OPTIONS:
   --gossfile, -g "./goss.json" Goss file to read from / write to [$GOSS_FILE]
   --package                    Package type to use [rpm, deb]
   --help, -h                   show help
   --generate-bash-completion
   --version, -v                print the version
global options
-g gossfile

The gossfile file to use when reading/writing tests.

Example (default: ./goss.json):

$ goss validate
........

Count: 8 failed: 0

To run a different file (ex. goss_httpd.json):

$ goss -g goss_httpd.json validate
......

Count: 6 failed: 0
validate, v - Validate the system

validate runs the goss test suite on your server. Prints an rspec-like output of test results. Exists with status 0 on success, non-0 otherwise.

validate will look for a test suite in the following order:

  • stdin
  • -g flag (if provided)
  • ./goss.json

Success:

$ goss validate
..

Count: 2 failed: 0

Failure:

$ goss validate
.F
tcp:22: ip doesn't match, expect: 127.0.0.1 found: 0.0.0.0


Count: 2 failed: 1
$ echo $?
1

Pipe examples:


$ cat goss.json | goss validate
$ goss render | ssh remote-host 'goss validate'
$ curl -s https://static/or/dynamic/goss.json | goss validate

Patterns

For the attributes that use patterns (ex. file, command output), each pattern is checked against the attribute string, the type of patterns are:

  • "string" - checks if any line contain string.
  • "!string" - inverse of above, checks that no line contains string
  • "/regex/" - verifies that line contains regex
  • "!/regex/" - inverse of above, checks that no line contains regex
$ cat /tmp/test.txt
foo
!foo
/foo


$ cat goss.json
{
    "files": [
        {
            "path": "/tmp/test.txt",
            "exists": true,
            "contains": [
                "foo",
