Ansible role for installing Shopify's Dashing dashboard

ALPHA This role installs Shopify's' Dashing. It uses NodeJS and installs the ruby environment.

If no dashboard is installed under the dashing_path/dashing_name, this role will create a new one. If you have an existing dashboard, transfer the files under this path dashing_path/dashing_name.

The role is installing an init script located in /etc/init.d/dashing for handling the daemon.

For testing and development purposes a Vagrantfile is available, it uses the same role.yml as in Travis CI. So testing this role is just a vagrant up away. Then point your browser to http://localhost:8080.

Requirements

Currently only tested and know as working on Ubuntu 12.04. It should work on Debian Wheezy as well, if wheezy-backports sources list is available (for installing NodeJS). RHEL 6 support should be available in the near feature.
