Super quick guide for the server setup which works with Ubuntu 14.04 (details are covered in this blog post). Heavily inspired by https://github.com/TalkingQuickly/rails-server-template .

• Clone repository

• bundle install

• berks install

• Put your ssh key in data_bags/users/deploy.json and password generated with: openssl passwd -1 "super-secret-password-for-deploy-user”

• Rename nodes/put_your_ip_address_here.json file with server's IP address

• Generate PostgreSQL password with: openssl passwd -1 "super-secret-password-for-postgresql” and put it in nodes/put_your_ip_address_here.json file in postgresql options

• Adjust Monit setup in nodes/put_your_ip_address_here.json (passwords, email address etc.)

• Carefully check all configuration options in roles directory (like the data directory for Mongodb).

• If you don't like to install some components, simply remove these roles from nodes/put_your_ip_address_here.json (like role[elasticsearch-server])

• copy your ssh key to the server (for root user), eg: ssh-copy-id root@server-ip

• knife solo prepare root@server-ip

• knife solo cook root@server-ip

• Alternatively, if you use Vagrant: knife solo prepare vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 2222 -i /Users/username/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key (on OS X, on Linux probably /home/username/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key, also remember to use real system user name;)) ; knife solo cook vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 2222 -i /Users/username/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key (remember about renaming nodes/put_your_ip_address_here.json to 127.0.0.1.json, you may also want to add vagrant user to sudo users in node configuration)

• You will have to restart sshd service manually (couldn't deal with some exceptions so far)

• That's it! Enjoy your server :)
