collective's Introduction

collective

The new collective repo.

Manage vagrant/vbox clusters easily, with a quasi dedicated chef server. Safe for bridged networks.

This app helps syncronize developers working on cluster software.

Environment Setup

# env
gem install bundler

bundle install

# install vagrant plug-ins; yes, slightly confusing - download|install...
rake download:plugins

# Project deps
rake download:gems # should just run bundle

rake download:files # for various files needed by the app

rake download:repos # for various repos needed by the app

rake download:cookbooks # grabs cookbooks via berkshelf

# !! Now you can do either a cluster or manual setup !!

Cluster setup (recommended)

# Cluster?
rake vm:cluster:base:up

# Upload and sync all nodes with chef
rake vm:cluster:base:sync

# Start the whole thing over again (destructive)?
rake vm:cluster:base:rebirth

What does Cluster run?

Below are manual commands which cluster will run

# Re-provision?
