chef-django-ubuntu

A set of recipes to provision an ubuntu server using Chef.

The main goal is provisioning and deploying a django app.

Original idea from bsnux chef-mint.

chef-solo is used for simplicity because we only want to provide one machine. However, you can adapt the recipes to provision n machines using regular Chef.

OPSCODE offers a complete set of independient operating system recipes.

Installation

1. Clone current repo.
