Chef cookbooks for installation #226

Open olbrich opened 7 years ago

olbrich commented 7 years ago

Some people have expressed an interest in building and running their own crucible server. A chef cookbook can be created to simplify the installation and deployment of this tool.

Did somebody ask for a Chef cookbook specifically? I'm not that familiar with modern tools for supporting installation, deployment and management, but I know there are a couple of options besides Chef for deployment (like Puppet, Ansible). I'm all for providing whatever tooling we can to simplify installation and deployment, but would this only help those that already have a Chef-managed environment stood up?

Another option would be packaging this in a container with Docker. That seems like a popular way to simplify installations for rails based apps. For example, see discourse, a popular forum application: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md

Mostly I put this in to scratch my own itch.
I'm building a chef cookbook for my own needs now, and will probably build an OpsWorks compatible one as well.

Docker is a reasonable solution, and warrants some investigation too.

News for docker solution?
