Deis Private

Provision an instance for the Chef Server (must be >= 1G ram).

• Create instance with Ubuntu 12.04 amd64

• Install Chef Server: wget https://opscode-omnibus-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/12.04/x86_64/chef-server_11.0.11-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb -O /tmp/chef.deb ; sudo dpkg -i /tmp/chef.deb

• Configure Chef Server: sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure

• Copy /etc/chef-server/admin.pem and /etc/chef-server/chef-validator.pem to client (I use a docker container)

• Start Docker instance to configure: docker run -i -t -v /path/to/certs:/deis stackbrew/ubuntu:13.10 bash

• Install deps: sudo apt-get install -y ruby1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev rubygems git-core

• Clone deis: cd /var/tmp ; git clone https://github.com/opdemand/deis.git

• Install gems: cd deis && bundle install

• Configure Knife: knife configure --initial

  • Config File:
  • Chef server url:
  • New User: deis
  • Existing user: admin
  • Path to admin cert: /deis/<your-admin-cert.pem>
  • Validation clientname: chef-validator
  • Path to validation key: /deis/<your-validation-key.pem>
  • Chef repository:
  • Password:
  • Test: knife client list (you should see at least the chef-validator)
  • Install: berks install && berks upload --ssl-verify=no

Start a new instance (Ubuntu 12.04 amd64)

• Use the contrib/digitalocean/prepare-controller-image.sh to install the controller requirements
• Bootstrap: knife bootstrap <controller-ip> --bootstrap-version 11.8.2 --ssh-user ubuntu --sudo --identity-file /path/to/ssh/key --node-name deis-controller --run-list "recipe[deis::controller]"
