Automate install process

[trotter]

I've added setup/install to make it easier to get vcap installed on a VM. It's not perfect at all, but it's much better than going through the manual process.

Looks like a good start to me

Looks great all in all! However, this password will not be random. How about cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc _A-Z-a-z-0-9 | head -c10 or something more secure?

[trotter]

Oh, I dig that. I'll make the change within a few hours.

Thanks for the pull request. We are going to start processing these on Tue and Thur, but this week, we are going to do a pass over these on the 15th. If we have any questions or comments, we'll let you know then.

Thanks

p.s. We are particularly happy to see this one :)

I am working on a chef cookbook and should have it working tomorrow. Excited to get it actually working and see the internals. More soon.

Good work trotter, by the way

[trotter]

Very nice, is that on github already? I'm more than happy to help with
any chef effort.

Not yet. I'll push it to github tomorrow morning when I get back to my computer. It's almost working, just a few minor updates and it should be golden. I'll message when it's up

[paulj]

Once there is a Chef cookbook, it could be wrapped up in a Vagrant configuration too, making it really easy to get an isolated development setup running.

[auser]

I added a basic chef cookbook that is not fully working quite yet, but it's up and available on github.

This pull request has some other stuff in it that we don't want to take as is.. (e.g. df0b2fa). Can you create a feature branch on your repo that starts from the current head of cloundfoundry/vcap and cherry pick over the commits you want from this work and then submit the pull request against that branch. See: http://help.github.com/pull-requests/.

Thanks!

[trotter]

Whoops, must have started from the wrong branch. Will fix and resubmit soon.

[trotter]

Resubmitted as issue #21

[auser]

I added a quickstart as we talked about. It's almost completely there. There is an issue when running rake bundler:install with cloud_controller, which I have yet to resolve, so perhaps someone could check it out while I'm at work.

Anyway, the quickstart is here:

https://github.com/auser/cloudfoundry-quickstart

It requires vagrant and VirtualBox and almost completely sets up a cloudfoundry machine.

[paulj]

Does the bundler:install need to have rvm use called first? Or does rvm trigger because of the cwd?

[auser]

No, rvm is called as a recipe. It's installed before all bundler... the rake bundler:install is called to setup vcap

[paulj]

Ok. I could see the rvm use in front of the bin/vcap, so I was expecting something equivalent in front of the rake bundler:install, and was wondering if perhaps the gems were going astray. I guess I must be missing something clever going on in the recipe or the Rakefile to setup the RVM environments.

[auser]

No, it should be pretty straightforward paulj. Perhaps I'm missing what you mean... there's jruby -S rake bundler:install at the end of the default recipe...

It was execute, but I changed it to script on the last push or so
