Platform

The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the recipes run on these platforms without error:

Please report any additional platforms so they can be added.

Cookbooks

This cookbook depends on the following external cookbooks:

Installation

Depending on the situation and use case there are several ways to install this cookbook. All the methods listed below assume a tagged version release is the target, but omit the tags to get the head of development. A valid Chef repository structure like the Opscode repo is also assumed.

Using Librarian

Librarian-Chef is a bundler for your Chef cookbooks. Include a reference to the cookbook in a [Cheffile][cheffile] and run librarian-chef install. To install Librarian-Chef:

gem install librarian
cd chef-repo
librarian-chef init

To reference the Git version:

cat >> Cheffile <<END_OF_CHEFFILE
cookbook 'rvm_passenger',
  :git => 'https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm_passenger', :ref => 'v0.8.2'
END_OF_CHEFFILE
librarian-chef install

Using knife-github-cookbooks

The knife-github-cookbooks gem is a plugin for knife that supports installing cookbooks directly from a GitHub repository. To install with the plugin:

gem install knife-github-cookbooks
cd chef-repo
knife cookbook github install fnichol/chef-rvm_passenger/v0.8.2

As a Tarball

If the cookbook needs to downloaded temporarily just to be uploaded to a Chef Server or Opscode Hosted Chef, then a tarball installation might fit the bill:

cd chef-repo/cookbooks
curl -Ls https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm_passenger/tarball/v0.8.2 | tar xfz - && \
  mv fnichol-chef-rvm_passenger-* rvm_passenger

As a Git Submodule

A dated practice (which is discouraged) is to add cookbooks as Git submodules. This is accomplishes like so:

cd chef-repo
git submodule add git://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm_passenger.git cookbooks/rvm_passenger
git submodule init && git submodule update

Note: the head of development will be linked here, not a tagged release.

From the Opscode Community Platform

This cookbook is not currently available on the site as it relies on a cookbook (rvm) not available on the community site.

Recipes

apache2

Installs passenger as an apache2 module. Requires the apache2 recipe.

nginx

node['rvm_passenger']['version'] = "3.0.8"

Default is the most current version which is queried dynamically from RubyGems.

rvm_ruby

The RVM ruby (and optional gemset) under which to install the passenger gem. For example:

node['rvm_passenger']['rvm_ruby'] = "ruby-1.8.7-p352@passenger"

Default is the default RVM Ruby in a gemset called "passenger", i.e. "#{node['rvm']['default_rvm']}@passenger".

Optionally override the full path to the root of the installed passenger gem.
