Thanks Noah.

I had this running for nginx, but before going with postgres and rabbitmq i wanted to know other people point of view.

chefserver2nginx.rb

------

directory "/etc/chef-server" do

  owner "root"

  group "root"

  mode "0755"

end

%w(/var/www /var/www/cache-tmp /var/www/cache).each do |dir|

  directory dir do

    owner "www-data"

  end

end

%w(/etc/nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled /etc/nginx/sites-available /etc/nginx/conf.d).each do |dir|

  directory dir do

    owner "root"

    group "root"

    mode "0755"

  end

end

template "/etc/nginx/conf.d/chef.conf" do

  source "chef.nginx.conf.erb"

end

template "/etc/nginx/sites-available/chef" do

  source "chef.nginx.site.erb"

end

link "/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/chef" do

  to "/etc/nginx/sites-available/chef"

end

# going to disable chef's omnibus nginx

template "/etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb" do

  owner "root"

  group "root"

  mode "0600"

end

execute "chef-server-ctl reconfigure"

include_recipe "nginx"

While it is hypothetically possible to make chef-server not use its internal components, to call it "unsupported" is a vast understatement. You would probably be better off just not using the chef-server packages and installing erchef+bookshelf yourself. They are pretty "normal" Erlang/rebar apps so if you are familiar with that stack it shouldn't too too hard. Again, super unexplored territory though.
