lamp-server-cookbook

Basic LAMP server setup.

Sets up our server to run a standard Linux + Apache + MariaDB + PHP stack setup. Also installs ruby and node as we use these in our asset building.

Supported Platforms

  • RHEL/Fedora/CentOS
  • Debian/Ubuntu

Description

This will install the following:

  • Apache 2 (2.4 or 2.2 depending on OS)
  • PHP 5.6.22
  • MariaDB 10.0
  • Ruby 2.3.0
  • Node 4.4.5

It will also create a www user and staff group to run Apache as, to be consistent across platforms for deployment. It is strongly recommended that you deploy to this server using a user in the staff group, for permissions to be consistent.

Attributes

None at this time.

Usage

lamp-server::default

Include lamp-server in your node's run_list:

{
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[lamp-server::default]"
  ]
}

You'll want to include your sites in a vault or databag named sites. The name of the record should be the site's abbreviated name, the body should be formatted as follows:

{
  # The site's real name.
  "name": "Madison Example",
  # A short name for the site for directories, etc.
  "shortname": "madisonex",
  # The main url for the site.  Leave off the protocol (http/https).
  "url": "example.mymadison.io",
  # A list of the Chef nodes to deploy the site to.
  "servers": ["Madison-Dev-1","default-ubuntu-1404","default-centos-67"],
  # The type of site.  Currently supports 'madison' and 'wordpress'.
  "type": "madison",
  # Database configuration settings will be used to create the user & database.
  "database_name": "madisonex",
  # The password for the database.
  "database_password": "asdjfklz",
  # The username for the database.
  "database_username": "madisonex",
  # All of your mail configuration settings for the app. (Optional)
  "mail_driver": "smtp",
  "mail_host": "mailtrap_io",
  "mail_port": "2525",
  "mail_username": "null",
  "mail_password": "null",
  "mail_encryption": "null",
  "mail_from_address": "[email protected]",
  "mail_from_name": "user"
}

Notes

We run MariaDB instead of MySQL. Unfortunately this causes problem with the default php cookbook, which is hardcoded to use MySQL. We get around this by using our own fork of the php cookbook

TODO

Split out the Madison and Wordpress specific code into their own cookbooks.
