README

### Install ironfan-homebase

Clone this repo, producing the directory we'll call `homebase` from now on. In fact, you may wish to rename it:

git clone https://github.com/infochimps-labs/ironfan-homebase
mv ironfan-homebase homebase
cd homebase
git submodule update --init

Now follow the instructions

* from [the main directory README.md](README.md), for overall setup
* from [the knife/ folder README.md](knife/README.md), for chef config file setup

you're ready to go when you can `knife cluster list` and get formatted output:

## Installing the Vagrant box for the first time:

### Install Virtualbox

Download and install Virtualbox 4.x -- visit http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/

### Install the gems

Run bundle install from your homebase directory

$ cd ironfan_homebase
$ bundle install

You should now be able to list all templates:

$ vagrant basebox templates
The following templates are available:
# ....
vagrant basebox define '' 'ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64'-netboot'
# ...
vagrant basebox define '' 'ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64-ruby192'

### Build the new box

(_If you alread have the box in the vagrants/boxes folder, skip to 'Add the box'._)

Now move into the vagrants/ subdirectory and run

$ cd ironfan_homebase/vagrants
$ vagrant basebox build 'ironfan-natty'

If you don't have the iso file it will download it for you. The ISO file is huge, and will probably take about 30 minutes to pull in.

The `basebox build` command will

* create a machine + disk according to the definition.rb
* Note: :os_type_id = The internal Name Virtualbox uses for that Distribution
* Mount the ISO File :iso_file
* Boot up the machine and wait for `:boot_time`
* Send the keystrokes in `:boot_cmd`_sequence
* Startup a webserver on `:kickstart_port` to wait for a request for the `:kickstart_file` (don't navigate to the file in your browser or the server will stop and the installer will not be able to find your preseed)
* Wait for ssh login to work with :ssh_user , :ssh_password
* Sudo execute the :postinstall_files

Next, export the vm to a .box file (producing `ironfan-natty.box`)

$ vagrant basebox export ironfan-natty

### Add the box as one of your boxes

Import the box into vagrant:

$ vagrant box add 'ironfan-natty' ironfan-natty.box

## Launch a VM with vagrant

To use it:

knife cluster vm sandbox-simple --vagrant up

__________________________________________________________________________

## Once your chef server is up

* visit the webui (at http://33.33.33.20:4040 by default).

* log in with username 'admin' and password p@ssw0rd1 -- it will immediately prompt you to change it.

* [Create an admin=true client](http://33.33.33.20:4040/clients/new) for
yourself. If you have an opscode platform user account, make life easy on
yourself and use the same name. Check the box 'yes' for admin

* Copy-paste the private key into `{homebase}/knife/cocina/{yourname}.pem`
- Do so immediately -- it's your only chance to get the key!
- The first and last lines of the file should be the `-----BEGIN...` and
`-----END..` blocks.
- do a `chmod 600 {homebase}/knife/cocina/{yourname}.pem`

* [Create the environments](http://33.33.33.20:4040/environments) by running

knife environment from file environments/prod.rb
knife environment from file environments/dev.rb

* go to ironfan_homebase/knife and make a copy of the credentials directory for the cocina world

cd ironfan_homebase/knife
cp -rp example cocina
cd cocina
git init ; git add .
git commit -m "New credentials univers for local VM chef server" .

subdirectories of `ironfan_homebase/knife` are .gitignored; don't check this directory into git.

* upload your cookbooks!

cd /cloud
bundle install
export CHEF_USER=yourchefusername CHEF_ORGANIZATION=cocina CHEF_HOMEBASE=/cloud
rake roles & # NEVA GONNA GIVE YOU UP...
knife cookbook upload --all

### Make the chef_server a client of itself

* edit the file `cocina/cloud.rb`, and set

chef_server_url "http://33.33.33.20:4000/"

* ssh to the chef_server vm,

vagrant ssh

copy the server's copy of the validator so the machine can also be a client,
and grab a copy for posterity

cd /etc/chef
sudo ln -s validation.pem cocina-validator.pem
sudo cp validation.pem /cloud/knife/cocina/cocina-validator.pem
sudo mv dna.json /cloud/knife/cocina/dna/cocina-chef_server-0.json
sudo ln -s /cloud/knife/cocina/dna/cocina-chef_server-0.json dna.json
sudo ln -s /cloud/knife/cocina/client_keys client_keys

# when those finish,
sudo chef-client
