Is this production-ready?

[james-ai]

Hi guys,

Found my way here from https://github.com/edelight/chef-mongodb/issues/385 and was wondering if this cookbook would be taking over, and is ready to be used in anger? I intend to have it running on an Ubuntu 12 server.

Will it be added to the Chef Supermarket at some point too?

Thanks, James.

@james-ai I currently use this cookbook in production, although it is wrapped in a wrapper cookbook for some additional configuration but it does do the job. The wrapper cookbook did require some tweaks to the install paths to get it working properly, I can pass along those changes should you get up and running before we get some of those fixes merged here.

Didn't see your last snippet, it will be added to supermarket we are discussing how to do that in the meta repo.

[james-ai]

@zarry That would be great thanks. Any work that I can help with?

[zarry]

Here is the snippet of code from the wrapper cookbook that configures the path names properly among some other things that may or may not be necessary for you. The major issue I had was path issues between what the package installed and what the cookbook was defaulted to. This created all sorts of odd issues from not managing the service properly to empty mongo directories vs the populated mongodb directories.

I think we have PR that looks to correct some of this stuff if not I will get a ticket in and start looking at a PR.

As for helping out feel free to help out wherever you see fit. If you want to start working with it and submit us some PRs as you hit things great! If you want to comb through some of the PRs out there and do some review/comment thoughts, Great! We picked this cookbook up because of the lack of updates on the previous one so any help is welcome help!

I can tell that this has been used in prod a lot, at least in my company for +300 instances in EC2 and in ovh for a lot of servers. Just test your requirements before go on prod, waiting for this to go on supermarket https://github.com/chef-brigade/meta/issues/3

[james-ai]

Top stuff. I can just spin up a test box and give it a whirl on that.

Thanks @zarry, @luishdez

@luishdez @zarry any guide for production, for exmple, how to configure replicaset with json?

[zarry]

@chuangtim I do not have example of configuring replicaset with json, but the example I provided above does setup and manage a replicaset in our production environment. I don't believe there to be a specific guide.
