aegir2 Cookbook

Aegir is a hosting system for deploying and managing large networks of
Drupal sites. This collection of recipes automate Aegir setup,
specifically for aegir2.

This cookbook was started as a fork of https://github.com/yevgenko/cookbook-aegir, but was so different, I created a new repository. Thanks for yevgenko for the inspiration!

IMPORTANT!!!
Install fails, see the corresponding issue to fix this manually while waiting
for a new aegir2 release: https://www.drupal.org/node/2275467

• mysql (to install mysql-server properly)

Resources/Providers

aegir2_extension

This LWRP provides an easy way to manage aegir2 extensions

Actions

• :add: Adds the extension to aegir
• :remove: removes the extension

Attribute Parameters

• name: name attribute. The name of the extension to add
• repository_provision: the git repository for the provision module (drush extension)
• repository_hosting: the git repository for the hosting module (drupal module)
• version: the version to used. Should be a git tag that is on the provision and hosting module

Examples

Add the tasks_extra extension:

aegir2_extension 'tasks_extra' do
  repository_provision 'http://git.drupal.org/project/provision_tasks_extra.git'
  repository_hosting 'http://git.drupal.org/project/hosting_tasks_extra.git'
  version '6.x-2.1'
end

Remove the tasks_extra extension:

aegir2_extension 'tasks_extra' do
  action :remove
end

Usage

Simply include the default recipe to get aegir2 installed with the default package-based method. Different install methods and servers will be supported in future versions. You can set a custom admin email and frontend URL by using attributes.

You will most likely need to run the apt::default recipe before this cookbook can be used.

Usage in roles:

name "aegir2"
description "aegir2 role"
run_list "recipe[apt::default],recipe[aegir2::default]"
default_attributes "aegir2" => {
  "admin_email" => "another@email.please"
}

Local setup

You can easily test this cookbook locally, by installing the following toolchain:
* VirtualBox
* Vagrant
* Chef Development Kit
* Vagrant Berkshelf Plugin

When the above dependencies are installed, you can test this cookbook easily by simply issuing vagrant up.

Testing

The cookbook is testable with kitchen and foodcritic. The basic tests can be run through rake.

By issuing bundle exec rake, foodcritic tests are run.

By issuing kitchen test, the cookbook is used on Ubuntu-14.04 and CentOS-7.0.
