Exemple of a generic rabbitmq server deployment with salt/makina-states

USE/Install With makina-states

• Iniatilise on the target platform the project if it is not already done:

  salt mc_project.init_project name=<foo>

• Keep under the hood both remotes (pillar & project).
• Clone the project pillar remote inside your project top directory
• Add/Relace your salt deployment code inside .salt inside your repository.

• Add the project remote

  • replace remotenickname with a sensible name (eg: prod):
  • replace the_project_remote_given_in_init with the real url

  • Run the following commands:

    git remote add <remotenickname>  <the_project_remote_given_in_init>
    git fetch --all

• Each time you need to deploy from your computer, run:

  cd pillar
  git push [--force] <remotenickname> <yourlocalbranch(eg: master,prod,whatever)>:master
  cd ..
  git push [--force] <remotenickname> <yourlocalbranch(eg: master,prod,whatever)>:master

• Notes:

  • The distant branch is always master*
  • If you force the push, the local working copy of the remote deployed site will be resetted to the TIP changeset your are pushing.

• If you want to install locally on the remote computer, or test it locally and do not want to run the full deployement procedure, when you are on a shell (connected via ssh on the remote computer or locally on your box), run:

  salt mc_project.deploy only=install,fixperms

• You can also run just specific step(s):

  salt mc_project.deploy only=install,fixperms only_steps=000_whatever
  salt mc_project.deploy only=install,fixperms only_steps=000_whatever,001_else

• If you want to commit in prod and then push back from the remote computer, remember to push on the right branch, eg:

  git remote add github https://github.com/orga/repo.git
  git fetch --all
  git push github master:prod

Note

We install the admin interface proxified by nginx, you can access with the 'admin' and password got with salt-call --local -lall mc_rabbitmq.settings.
