Chef Alfresco Logo

chef-alfresco is a Chef cookbook that provides a modular, configurable and extensible way to install an Alfresco node/stack; alfresco::default parses node['alfresco']['components'] and includes other alfresco::* recipes accordingly.

It is tested on Centos 7.x and Ubuntu 14.04 (soon on Centos 6.7)

What it is

chef-alfresco is our installation solution for alfresco in a cloud environment. Our main aim is to have all of our infrastructure described as code, leveraging the power of Chef to deliver repeatable, fast and idempotent environment.

What is not

chef-alfresco is not a deployment system. It describe our infrastructure, it even create local environments, but by itself doesn't deploy your Alfresco installation somewhere, it doesn't build immutable AMI or export a docker image. To this end, chef-alfresco uses other tools, such as the Software Provisioning Kit or Chef Server - although those are not mandatory, and you may want to use any tool you like.
