Overview

clojureweb-chef - chef recipes for setting up a server for Clojure deployment.

Project maturity

This project was born during Clojure Cup 2013 and right now I don't know anybody who use it in production, so you can be the first ;)

Prepare local environment

• Preferred way to use is to clone this repo and customize for your project git clone git://github.com/juggler/clojureweb-chef.git --origin upstream APPLICATION-NAME-chef
• Bootstrap local environment with script/bootstrap

Prepare server

• Setup key based authentication to the target host (e.g. ssh-copy-id - brew install ssh-copy-id)
• Prepare target server with script/prepare root@HOSTNAME
• Customize nodes/HOSTNAME.json based on nodes/default.json
• Apply configuration to target host with script/cook user@HOSTNAME

Scripts

There are 3 scripts to automate cooking process:

• script/bootstrap will install librarian-chef and knife-solo gems
• script/prepare will download cookbooks and install Chef on target node
• script/cook will apply recipes to the target node (you can re-run this script if you will add a new recipe or change an existing one)

What's in the box

• deployer user with key-based ssh authentication (you have to rename user.json.example to user.json and add your public key)
• latest stable leiningen (based on this cookbook)
• openjdk 7
• nginx which will serve static files/pages, cache content and will act as a reverse proxy for your app server (you should read this article by JUXT team)

Continue with Capistrano

Checkout this deploy.rb

TODO:

• do not use flatstack[rails] cookbook because it just includes nginx
