Hi, all --

On a yak-shaving whim, I've gone and bundled up chef-server-slice such that it can be run on Heroku:

  http://github.com/matthewtodd/kitchen

If happen to give it a try, I'd love your ideas / feedback / patches.

Interested readers will note that:

1. Chef::Queue is stubbed out for now. So recipes that need search won't work.

2. There are some monkey-patches in the project I'm hoping to integrate back into Chef proper, most notably support for HTTP basic authentication in Chef::REST.

3. I've written my own OpenID::Store::CouchDB, as I had a little difficulty with the one on github. (Though, if I understand http:// lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef-dev/2009-06/msg00001.html, it's got a short lifetime of usefulness anyway.)


On a related note, since CouchDB isn't available on Heroku, I've written up a small Rails app that looks just enough like CouchDB to get Chef to work:

Granted, this flies in the face of everything CouchDB stands for, but it's also a simple way to get a toy server up and running for my 3 Chef clients. :-)


Patches welcome,
