Chef-solo

Bootstrapping Ruby or Ruby on Rails server on a Linux/MacOSX machine. Bootstrapping installs prerequisite for RVM, RVM itself, Ruby and Chef. At the end script executes chef-solo using provided JSON configuration file.

Usage

Remotely

./deploy.sh <user>@<host> <json>

json - This is optional. I've put this there so you can have different server setup config files. e.g.: web_server.json

There's empty JSON file, included now. If you need only install RVM, Ruby and Chef, run as:

./deploy.sh ... empty.json

Locally

You can simply bootstrap your local machine if you need to. In this case you'd need root or sudo access and networking setup only. Instead of using ./deploy.sh script, use ./install.sh as:

[sudo] bash ./install.sh <JSON>

Requirements

  • Clean install server machine with password less SSH access and password less sudo for your user for remote installation.
  • curl
  • sudo

Cookbooks

Script uses librarian gem to manage Chef cookbooks. Cookbook's are downloaded into ./cookbooks directory. You can also use own cookbooks, managed manually and installed in ./site-cookbooks.

To use librarian, after updating Cheffile file, run in the repository directory:

 bundle install                       # Installs librarian
 librarian-chef install               # Installs cookbooks
