e.g.

packages - Do packages mean other cookbooks or something else? For now I'll list the cookbooks

• build-essential - need to be able to build stuff.

• database - gotta have a database (got this from the EOL recipe, not sure what it does yet)

Usage

chef-mushroomobserver::default == chef-mushroomobserver::standalone

default is what most users will do most of the time which is create a standalone development machine

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[chef-mushroomobserver]"
  ]
}

chef-mushroomobserver::standalone

standalone recipe loads the test database

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[chef-mushroomobserver::standalone]"
  ]
}

chef-mushroomobserver::production

production recipe gets and loads the production database and does all the other stuff needed for the production machine

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[chef-mushroomobserver::production]"
  ]
}

chef-mushroomobserver::dump_production

dump_production recipe dumps the current production database and copies it to files/prod.sql. Requires ssh access to the production machine.

  "run_list": [
    "recipe[chef-mushroomobserver::dump_production]"
  ]
}

chef-mushroomobserver::create_init

    "recipe[chef-mushroomobserver::dump_production]"
  ]
}
