[chef] Re: Replica set setup with chef

[Nathen Harvey < >]

We're using mongo replica sets with chef but, like you, don't yet have a good solution for initializing the replica set.  I was headed down the path of having chef create a .js file that could be passed into mongo shell.  I'd be interested in seeing what you've come up with though.  Perhaps we could collaborate on a solution?

Here's a link to our mongodb cookbook - https://github.com/customink/cookbooks

Thanks,

" type="cite">Is anyone doing Mongo sharding or replica sets with chef? As far as I can tell, you need to run some commands interactively (ie. rs.initialize)  in the mongo shell to initialize a replica set. I think I could probably do this with chef by piping the commands directly to the shell, but is there an easier way? Some kind of config file settings I could use? Otherwise, I need to wait for the server to come up, send it the command, and then hope that everything works.

Thanks,
