What is the most complex Chef recipe you have written?
Vaibhav KothiaThe most complex Chef recipe I have written is one that creates an entire web application stack from scratch. This recipe includes creating a web server, installing the necessary packages, configuring the server, and deploying the application code. The code for this recipe is as follows:
# Install web server package
package “nginx”
# Create web server configuration
template “/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default” do
source “nginx.conf.erb”
end
# Install application packages
%w{python-pip python-dev libpq-dev}.each do |pkg|
package pkg do
action :install
end
end
# Install application dependencies
execute “pip install -r /var/www/app/requirements.txt”
# Deploy application code
deploy_revision “/var/www/app” do
repo “https://github.com/user/app.git”
user “www-data”
group “www-data”
migrate true
environment “RAILS_ENV” => “production”
action :deploy
end
# Restart web server
service “nginx” do
action :restart
end
