Arch Chef Boilerplate

===============

A minimalist, yet sane configuration for bootstrapping a basic configuration onto Arch Linux hosts for a new project in minutes.

Features

--------

Defines a base role that includes all of the following:

Bundled base cookbook:

    - [base:chef]           Configures chef to run from cron

    - [base:developer]      A place to add dev-friendly standard configuration across nodes

    - [base:docker]         Configures a basic docker installation

    - [base:firewall]       Configures a basic iptables firewall

    - [base:pacman]         Refreshes package cache - but throttled to once-per-day

    - [base:ssh]            Disables ssh password login, and ssh as root

    - [base:users]          Disables root password login

Dependent cookbooks:

    - [cron]                Used to schedule chef-client

    - [logrotate]           Used to rotate chef logs

    - [sudo]                Used to configure sudo and enable sysadmin sudoers

    - [users]               Used to creates sysadmin group with users as defined in users databag

Basic Setup

-----------

    # clone this repo and wipe out .git/

    # install knife.rb and pem keys (user and org) to ~/.chef/

    $ echo "chef_client_path	'/root/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/bin/chef-client'" >> .chef/knife.rb

    $ berks install

    $ berks upload

    $ knife cookbook upload base

    $ knife role from file roles/base.json

    $ knife data bag create users

    $ knife data bag create users  # see README in user cookbook to configure with SSH public key*

    $ knife bootstrap  -x root -d archlinux-gems -r 'role[base]'

Don't neglect to add at least one user and SSH public key or you may not be able to SSH into your node.
