collective

The new collective repo.

Manage vagrant/vbox clusters easily, with a quasi dedicated chef server. Safe for bridged networks.

This app helps syncronize developers working on cluster software.

Environment Setup

# env
gem install bundler

bundle install

# install vagrant plug-ins; yes, slightly confusing - download|install...
rake download:plugins

# Project deps
rake download:gems # should just run bundle

rake download:files # for various files needed by the app

rake download:repos # for various repos needed by the app

rake download:cookbooks # grabs cookbooks via berkshelf

# !! Now you can do either a cluster or manual setup !!

Cluster setup (recommended)

# Cluster?
rake vm:cluster:base:up

# Upload and sync all nodes with chef
rake vm:cluster:base:sync

# Start the whole thing over again (destructive)?
rake vm:cluster:base:rebirth

What does Cluster run?

Below are manual commands which cluster will run

# Re-provision?
rake vm:cluster:base:provision

# Re-bootstrap nodes?
rake vm:cluster:base:bootstrap

# Re-upload chef data?
rake vm:cluster:base:upload

# Re-Prepare node1, etc...
rake vm:cluster:base:prepare

# Re-Sync nodes with chef server
rake vm:cluster:base:sync

Manual setup

Manually boot the above with Node1 and a Chef node?

rake vm:chef:up

rake vm:chef:provision

rake vm:node1:up

rake vm:node1:provision

rake vm:cluster:base:bootstrap

rake vm:cluster:base:upload

rake vm:cluster:base:sync

Clif Notes

Remember, all the above can be easily be done via:

rake vm:cluster:base:up

Or by doing a full rebirth which will FROM SCRATCH delete and restart the provisioning process again (if you messed something up)

rake vm:cluster:base:rebirth
