[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Configure/deploy multiples apps per cookbook, how?

Wow! Thanks for the comprehensive reply Andrea!

I'll try those suggestion tonight. @Igor, I'll check out rails_ghetto as well! I'll share my experience here afterwards.

Meanwhile, I have a quick question regarding the approach of Bryan Baugher, in this thread:

http://lists.opscode.com/sympa/arc/chef/2012-07/msg00355.html

How would that work?

Thank you *very much* again for the replies!

- Marcelo.

Andrea,

Wow, thanks, I've totally missed that I can do it like that. I thought that there maybe a better way to do it but totally missed most obvious way.

Hi Marcelo,

I've already mentioned in this list but I have a cookbook which is basically

what you need. It manages deployment of several very similar rails

applications. As Andrea mentioned if you have different applications it is

better to have a separate cookbooks for them. But for your case here is the

cookbook - https://github.com/iafonov/rails_ghetto. I'm 100% sure that you'd

have to change it for your needs. I'm not a big fan of data bags (this

cookbook was initially created for chef-solo) but if you are - you can quite

easily alter it to use data bags instead of attributes.

I had a look at rails_ghetto some time ago and I like it. If anything,

it shows a big benefit of the "new" application cookbook: you were

able to reuse its LWRPs to add functionality on top.

One question though: how come you rolled your own nginx_sites_enable

instead of using application_nginx? Any missing functionality there?

At a cursory glance it looks like a perfect match, you just need to

specify your own template.

I.e. in your recipes/deploy.rb:

rails_applications do |name, app|

application name do

…

nginx do

template "nginx_site.erb"

cookbook_name "rails_ghetto"

end

end

end

And you'd be pretty much set.

Did you try that and hit any roadblock?

Andrea
