The purpose of this directory is to provide chef roles and recipes that work for both vagrant (for local development) and chef-solo (for remote deployments).
This directory works with littlechef, a python project that makes
chef-solo easy to deploy and use: https://github.com/tobami/littlechef.
The file auth.cfg must be configured to use littlechef. Read the instructions
on the littlechef project page for usage guidance.
The Rakefile in this directory provides a command rake metadata:to_json
to convert metadata.rb to metadata.json in cookbooks.
A quick way to add multiple Opscode cookbooks as submodules under cookbooks/.
- Add your cookbooks to
cookbooks/or incorporate them with git submodules. - At the moment, do not use data_bags. The bugs I experienced with Vagrant 0.9 may be fixed, but I haven't tried yet. Instead, incorporate necessary parameters into your roles configurations.
- Add .json files to
roles/for specific server setups, such as database-server.json or app-server.json. For Vagrant-specific setups, you can start with these configurations and overwrite sections as needed usingchef.json.merge!. SeeVagrantfile-example.
