chef_solo_os

This repository is used to quickly build a Debian based Rails Linode VPS for RailsRumble via Chef Solo. Includes: 

  Mysql 5
  Memcached
  Apache2 +Passenger
  Nginx +Passenger

A deploy user is generated and assumes you will deploy your app to /var/www/sites/u/app/. The deploy user has access to sudo via nopasswd.

Chef Solo allows you to run Chef Cookbooks in the absence of a Chef Server. It does this by requiring that the complete cookbook be present on disk, which it will fetch by getting a tarball from a remote URL.

Tested

Ubuntu 

  8.04 LTS Hardy Heron
  8.10 Intrepid Ibex
  9.04 Jaunty Jackalop

Debian 

  4.0 Etch
  5.0 Lenny
