kitchenplan/chef-applications

A cookbook, based on the pivotal_workstation, but without a lot of custom providers and a lot cleaner.

applications Cookbook

A cookbook, based on the pivotal_workstation, but without a lot of custom providers and a lot cleaner.

Usage

package / homebrew_package

This cookbook provides a package provider called homebrew_package which will install/remove packages using Homebrew. This becomes the default provider for package if your platform is Mac OS X.

As this extends the built-in package resource/provider in Chef, it has all the resource attributes and actions available to the package resource. However, a couple notes:

• Homebrew itself doesn't have a notion of "upgrade" per se. The "upgrade" action will simply perform an install, and if the Homebrew Formula for the package is newer, it will upgrade.
• Likewise, Homebrew doesn't have a purge, but the "purge" action will act like "remove".

Examples

package "mysql" do
  action :install
end

homebrew_package "mysql"

package "mysql" do
  provider Chef::Provider::Package::Homebrew
end

homebrew_tap

LWRP for brew tap, a Homebrew command used to add additional formula repositories. From the brew man page:

tap [tap]
       Tap a new formula repository from GitHub, or list existing taps.

       tap is of the form user/repo, e.g. brew tap homebrew/dupes.

Default action is :tap which enables the repository. Use :untap to disable a tapped repository.

Examples

homebrew_tap "homebrew/dupes"

homebrew_tap "homebrew/dupes" do
  action :untap
end

apache-config doesn't work anymore

Since 4d9bb8d the apache-config doesn't work anymore. The default apache-config is loaded before our custom configuration files are included. a fix is on its way

Postgres configuration doesn't work

Error when configuring postgres:

---- Begin output of psql -d template1 -c 'create user smlscript;' ----
STDOUT: 
STDERR: psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
    Is the server running locally and accepting
    connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
---- End output of psql -d template1 -c 'create user smlscript;' ----

this is because PGHOST gets set as an environment variable in bash, but bash isn't reloaded when postgres is installed, so it looks for the socket at the wrong place.

gcc42 recipe removed but still referenced in rvm recipe

e721291 removes the gcc42 cookbook. I'm not sure that it's required on more recent versions of OSX, but not an expert on the compiler situation.

include_recipe "applications::gcc42"

Add the local dns server thingy from Boxen

Override default sublime_text_packages

I can successfully add new packages, but how do I escape installing items like Theme - Flatland?

Mavericks compatibility

Just a ticket to track the testing for Mavericks, currently DP3

First of all, i need to "chown root:staff /Applications", it set to the admin group and this does not work for some reason.

PHP55 is too specific

The PHP55 recipe includes a couple settings in the ini file that are specific to your company's setup. This isn't the only spot where that happens - the kstrano recipe, for example, installs your capistrano deploy scripts. I'm just wondering how we're supposed to handle some of these - is the intention that we fork and use our own chef-applications repo? Or what exactly?

Any guidance would be helpful, thanks!

Missing privileges on .vagrant.d directory

After installing vagrant via kitchenplan I encountered the following problem when trying to add new boxes.

vagrant box add precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
Downloading box from URL: http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
Download failed. Will try another box URL if there is one.-)
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.

Failed writing body (0 != 869)

Some searching within the vagrant issues led me to this usefull hint which solved my issues for now. Would be awesome if someone fixes this. :-)

Timeout in MySQL

In /opt/kitchenplan/vendor/cookbooks/applications/recipes/mysql.rb

61: ruby_block "Checking that mysql is running" do
62: block do
63: Timeout::timeout(60) do
64: until File.exists?("/tmp/mysql.sock")
65: sleep 1
66: end
67: end
68: end
69: end

I try to install mysql using kitchenplan, but I always get a Timeout Error when it is checking the existence of /tmp/myqsl.sock. Anyone knows what happens here?
