Sprinkle Cookbook

A set of recipes and configurations for configuring servers with Sprinkle.

Installation

1. To use with Vagrant, download and install Vagrant

    $ gem install sprinkle
   
    $ mkdir myproject
    $ cd myproject
    $ mkdir app # This folder is shared to the VM as /var/www/sites/app in Vagrantfile
   
    $ git clone [email protected]:plymouthsoftware/sprinkle-cookbook.git
    $ cd sprinkle-cookbook
   

2. Edit config/deploy.rb to your requirements:

    $ cp config/deploy.rb.example config/deploy.rb
   

   For example, change the server role to the policy stack you want to use, e.g:

    # config/deploy.rb
    role :rails_dev, 'localhost:2222'
   

3. Edit Vagrantfile to your requirements:

    $ cp Vagrantfile.example Vagrantfile
   

4. Create your vagrant box and run your desired Sprinkle cookbook

    $ vagrant up
    $ sprinkle -c -s config/install.rb --only=rails_dev # The role you declared in deploy.rb
