Install ironfan-homebase

Clone this repo, producing the directory we'll call homebase from now on. In fact, you may wish to rename it:

    git clone https://github.com/infochimps-labs/ironfan-homebase
    mv ironfan-homebase homebase
    cd homebase
    git submodule update --init

Now follow the instructions

you're ready to go when you can knife cluster list and get formatted output:

    $ knife cluster list
    +--------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
    | cluster            | path                                              |
    +--------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
    | burninator         | /cloud/clusters/burninator.rb                     |
    | hadoop_demo        | /cloud/clusters/hadoop_demo.rb                    |
      ...                  ...
    | sandbox            | /cloud/clusters/sandbox.rb                        |
    +--------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

Installing the Vagrant box for the first time:

Install Virtualbox

Download and install Virtualbox 4.x -- visit http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/

Install the gems

Run bundle install from your homebase directory

    $ cd ironfan_homebase
    $ bundle install

You should now be able to list all templates:

    $ vagrant basebox templates
    The following templates are available:
    # ....
    vagrant basebox define '<boxname>' 'ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64'-netboot'
    # ...
    vagrant basebox define '<boxname>' 'ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64-ruby192'

Build the new box

(If you alread have the box in the vagrants/boxes folder, skip to 'Add the box'.)

Now move into the vagrants/ subdirectory and run

    $ cd ironfan_homebase/vagrants
    $ vagrant basebox build 'ironfan-natty'

If you don't have the iso file it will download it for you. The ISO file is huge, and will probably take about 30 minutes to pull in.

The basebox build command will

  • create a machine + disk according to the definition.rb
  • Note: :os_type_id = The internal Name Virtualbox uses for that Distribution
  • Mount the ISO File :iso_file
  • Boot up the machine and wait for :boot_time
  • Send the keystrokes in :boot_cmd_sequence
  • Startup a webserver on :kickstart_port to wait for a request for the :kickstart_file (don't navigate to the file in your browser or the server will stop and the installer will not be able to find your preseed)
  • Wait for ssh login to work with :ssh_user , :ssh_password
  • Sudo execute the :postinstall_files

Next, export the vm to a .box file (producing ironfan-natty.box)

    $ vagrant basebox export ironfan-natty

Add the box as one of your boxes

Import the box into vagrant:

    $ vagrant box add 'ironfan-natty' ironfan-natty.box

Launch a VM with vagrant

To use it:

knife cluster vm sandbox-simple --vagrant up

Once your chef server is up

  • visit the webui (at http://33.33.33.20:4040 by default).

  • log in with username 'admin' and password p@ssw0rd1 -- it will immediately prompt you to change it.

  • Create an admin=true client for yourself. If you have an opscode platform user account, make life easy on yourself and use the same name. Check the box 'yes' for admin

  • Copy-paste the private key into {homebase}/knife/cocina/{yourname}.pem

    • Do so immediately -- it's your only chance to get the key!
    • The first and last lines of the file should be the -----BEGIN... and -----END.. blocks.
    • do a chmod 600 {homebase}/knife/cocina/{yourname}.pem

  • Create the environments by running

      knife environment from file environments/prod.rb
  knife environment from file environments/dev.rb

  • go to ironfan_homebase/knife and make a copy of the credentials directory for the cocina world

      cd ironfan_homebase/knife 
  cp -rp example cocina
  cd cocina
  git init ; git add .
  git commit -m "New credentials univers for local VM chef server" .

    subdirectories of ironfan_homebase/knife are .gitignored; don't check this directory into git.

  • upload your cookbooks!

      cd /cloud
  bundle install
  export CHEF_USER=yourchefusername CHEF_ORGANIZATION=cocina CHEF_HOMEBASE=/cloud
  rake roles &    # NEVA GONNA GIVE YOU UP...
  knife cookbook upload --all

Make the chef_server a client of itself

  • edit the file cocina/cloud.rb, and set

      chef_server_url "http://33.33.33.20:4000/"

  • ssh to the chef_server vm,

      vagrant ssh

    copy the server's copy of the validator so the machine can also be a client, and grab a copy for posterity

      cd /etc/chef
  sudo ln -s validation.pem  cocina-validator.pem 
  sudo cp    validation.pem  /cloud/knife/cocina/cocina-validator.pem
  sudo mv    dna.json        /cloud/knife/cocina/dna/cocina-chef_server-0.json
  sudo ln -s /cloud/knife/cocina/dna/cocina-chef_server-0.json dna.json
  sudo ln -s /cloud/knife/cocina/client_keys                   client_keys

  # when those finish,
  sudo chef-client
