Description

Configures a server for rails hosting. Delegates as much as possible to other cookbooks & ties everything together.

Requirements

Currently requires ruby_build, rb_env, apt, nginx, runit, unicorn

Attributes

app_dir location on remote system where rails project will be found. Defaults to "/vagrant".

Usage

Vagrant

Vagrant is the first environment rails-lastmile supports. I based my build off of the lucid64 base box. In order to use with vagrant make a Vagrantfile something like this:

 config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.cookbooks_path = ["cookbooks","cookbooks-src"]

    chef.add_recipe "apt"
    chef.add_recipe "ruby_build"
    chef.add_recipe "rbenv::system"
    chef.add_recipe "rbenv::vagrant"
    chef.add_recipe "nginx"
    chef.add_recipe "unicorn"
    chef.add_recipe "rails-lastmile"

    chef.json = {
      'rvm' => {
        'default_ruby' => 'ruby-1.9.2-p290',
        'gem_package' => {
          'rvm_string' => 'ruby-1.9.2-p290'
        }
      }
    }

  end

Installation

I suggest installing through librarian-chef. In order to do so add the following to your Cheffile:

cookbook 'rails-lastmile',
  :git => 'git://github.com/DanThiffault/rails-lastmile.git'

If you're planning on making changes to the lastmile config. I'd suggest vendoring the git repo into cookbooks-src
