Chef-Solo Capistrano Bootstrap

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

by Mike Smullin 

**Utilize Capistrano to automatically bootstrap any remote server for Chef-Solo via SSH using a single command.**

Installation

------------

  - Git clone the blank Opscode Chef Cookbook Repository to your local machine

    `git clone http://github.com/opscode/chef-repo`

  - Reset the git history

    `rm -rf .git && git init .`

  - Make a special directory for containing all your dna.json files

    `mkdir ./dna/ && touch ./dna/example-node.json`

  - Install Capistrano gem on the local machine either as a system gem or using bundler

    `gem install capistrano`

  - Git clone or wget the Capfile into your cookbook repo root dir

    `wget http://github.com/mikesmullin/Chef-Solo-Capistrano-Bootstrap/raw/master/Capfile`

  - Write your cookbook recipes and roles

Usage

------------

  - Execute the Capistrano Chef Bootstrap task

    `cap chef:bootstrap  `

  - Enjoy!

Example

------------

    cap chef:bootstrap  

There are other commands you can find by `cap -vT`.

For eaxmple, during development, it is handy to use:

     cap chef:resolo  

Which will push out your latest cookbook plus the dna.json and execute chef-solo on it.

When you are done, you can remove all traces of Chef with:

     cap chef:clean  

Or if you want to nuke and pave to be sure old recipes are not causing problems:

     cap chef:clean_solo  

If you are like me you enjoy provisioning a new Rackspace VPS and issuing this command

to automatically create my users, groups, and copy ssh keys over for a passwordless ssh session

going forward:

     cap chef:init_server 

Future goals

------------

Is it possible that with the power of Ruby Expect, either Capistrano or Chef could be made better

so that only one or the other is ultimately necessary?
