Chef repository for deploying a Solr Server for the AJAX-Solr demo

This repository contains a cookbook that provisions a secure Solr Server (using solr-security-proxy for the AJAX-Solr demo. This repository uses gusteau but the reuters-demo cookbook (to be found under site-cookbooks) can be used in any way by Opscode Chef.

To use with Vagrant:

The following assumes you have vagrant 1.1+ installed.

install gusteau:

vagrant plugin install gusteau

provision Solr server:

# inside the repo
vagrant up
gusteau converge production-box

After chef-solo is done, y our Solr server can be accessed locally at http://192.168.50.4:9090/reuters (you can change the private IP in your Vagrantfile and .gusteau.yml

To provision a remote server:

install gusteau

If you installed the vagrant-gusteau plugin you already have the gusteau gem available, if not:

gem install gusteau

define remote server

To provision a remote server you have to change .gusteau.yml to include your remote server's IP (or domain name):

# in .gusteau.yml
  server:
    before: apt-get update && apt-get install -q -y curl
    host: fqdn.for.your.remote.server # <---
    user: root

If you user does not have its SSH public key recognized by the remote server, you will need to provide gusteau with the root password of your server. This information will go in the same stanza as above:

# in .gusteau.yml
  server:
    before: apt-get update && apt-get install -q -y curl
    host: fqdn.for.your.remote.server
    user: root
    password: root.password.for.host # <---

provision Solr server:

# inside the repo
gusteau converge production-server --bootstrap
