geoq-chef-repo's Introduction

Overview

This is a set of Chef recipes (think of them as macros to automatically build a running Virtual Machine) that will work to set the geoq app up on either a local Virtualbox VM or onto an Amazon Web Service VM.

Configuration

Download VirtualBox and install it (free at https://www.virtualbox.org/)
Download Vagrant and install it (free at http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads)
Download Git and install it (free at http://git-scm.com/downloads or it might be preinstalled if on a mac)
Download Berkshelf and install it (works best through a gem install:
If you want to deploy to Amazon or some other provider, create a file named 'vagrant_dev_settings.yml' in the code directory (i.e. ~/Sites) and add in provider deployment details.
After everything is installed, you can type 'vagrant provision' to have it update code from github and install new libraries, or 'vagrant halt' to stop the VM.

Installation Steps

sudo gem install berkshelf
sudo vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf
cd ~/Sites (or wherever you keep your code)
git clone https://github.com/jaycrossler/geoq-chef-repo.git
cd geoq-chef-repo

vagrant up (to deploy to a local virtualbox vm)

(Or, if deploying to amazon)
vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
vagrant plugin install unf
vagrant up --provider=aws (if using AWS, and the vagrant_dev_settings.yml were created)

geoq-chef-repo's Issues

Add aws 'region' to yml & to vagrant file

Some users need to specify region when loading. This param needs to be added as an option param to check if a region is specified.

vagrant up error: non-zero exit status

Running vagrant up locally, I got the following error. Suggestions?

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

chmod +x /tmp/vagrant-shell && /tmp/vagrant-shell
