Become chef-rundeck 3?

[josephholsten]

It's clear that chef-rundeck as it stands has no future. Would anyone be interested in having better-chef-rundeck become chef-rundeck 3?

I dont have time to work on replacing the rundeck cookbook code right now, but if anyone really needs this I could review a PR to the rundeck cookbook.

As a workaround - if anyone is interested in running this, it can be deployed with Docker as briefly shown in the README.md or deployed with Chef and simple-passenger-cookbook very easily as I described here: sous-chefs/rundeck#173 (comment)

I think we have crossed wires here, the question is directly regarding the better-chef-rundeck and chef-rundeck sinatra tool and not the rundeck cookbook itself.

[atheiman]

ah i think i meant to comment on sous-chefs/rundeck#173

but yea for this i think this can be ported into chef-rundeck. its pretty different implementation tho and thats part of why I didn't put it there to begin with. Like I said I dont have time to work on this now, but I could review a pr.

@atheiman awesome, now I just need to get @bscott & oswaldlabs to agree to bless this.

BTW, would it be useful to move this project to sous-chefs so other people can help add maintainers, &?

bump. I am working on the rewriting the rundeck cookbook and would be interested in integrating this project.

[atheiman]

Sorry, im not sure whats being asked for here @PowerSchill

[PowerSchill]

Well I am attempting to integrate Better Chef Rundeck into the rundeck cookbook rewrite that I am working on. I am attempting to determine the best way to do that but also doing so without requiring access to a git repo.

[atheiman]

So you need this either packaged as a gem or hosted within the rundeck cookbook?

You could add this project as a git sub module on the rundeck cookbook maybe. I dont like the idea of this code moving into the cookbook. You could also do a little research on packaging a sinatra app as a ruby gem.

[PowerSchill]

I will see if I can figure out how to package it or at least a way to just use a release archive.

[atheiman]

Yea I’d say the Github releases as a .tar.gz is easiest way to start. Just default a tar_download_url attribute to the latest tag tarball from github and then people can override with their internal release site if they dont have access to github.com.

[PowerSchill]

I was wondering if the best and simplest method would be to update your simple_passenger_cookbook to take either a git url or package source for the app.

[atheiman]

Sure id look at a pr for that

[PowerSchill]

Could you generate a release for https://github.com/atheiman/simple-sinatra so I can use it for testing the final code?

[atheiman]

Unfortunately im out of town only on my phone so I cant do that until Monday

There is only a small difference between v1.0.0 and master right now tho
v1.0.0...master

[PowerSchill]

I have the code ready and as soon as you create a release for simple-sinatra I will update the URLs and submit a PR.

[atheiman]

@PowerSchill v1.1.0 tag created https://github.com/atheiman/better-chef-rundeck/releases/tag/v1.1.0

[atheiman]

oh you want a simple sinatra release? i didnt realize there were changes there, but ill check

edit: im going to assume your comment was a typo

[PowerSchill]

I wanted you to create a release for simple-sinatra so that I could use that URL to finish work on atheiman/simple-passenger-cookbook#33 so that I could use it with this project.

[atheiman]

v1.0.0 created https://github.com/atheiman/simple-sinatra/tags

FYI: @bscott is back over at oswaldlabs/chef-rundeck#71!
