Kitchen Example

An example of using rackbox & databox and knife-solo to provision a full-stack, rack-based web server.

How to build kitchen-example from scratch:

1. Create Gemfile:

   source "https://rubygems.org"
   
   gem "knife-solo", "0.3.0pre3"
   gem "berkshelf"
   

2. Create Berksfile:

   site :opscode
   
   cookbook "runit", "1.1.2"
   cookbook "databox"
   cookbook "rackbox"
   

3. Install ruby gems

   bundle install
   

4. Setup knife-solo directory structure

   bundle exec knife solo init .
   

5. Copy the node config example

   curl https://raw.github.com/teohm/kitchen-example/master/nodes/host.json.example --output nodes/myhost.json
   

Provision rack-based server

git clone git://github.com/teohm/kitchen-example.git
cd kitchen-example

# install berkshelf, knife-solo
bundle install

# download cookbooks
bundle exec berks install -p cookbooks/

# copy & edit the node config
cp nodes/host.json.example testbox.json

# setup chef-solo on the node
bundle exec knife solo prepare testbox

# provision the node
bundle exec knife solo cook testbox

Deploy rails on unicorn

git clone git://github.com/teohm/sample-app1.git
cd sample-app1
bundle install
ssh testbox 
#
# in testbox, add SSH known host by running:
#    ssh git@github.com   
#
bundle exec cap deploy:setup
bundle exec cap deploy:migrations

Deploy rails on passenger

git clone git://github.com/teohm/sample-app2.git
cd sample-app2
bundle install
ssh testbox 
#
# in testbox, add SSH known host by running:
#    ssh git@github.com
