Asunto: [Fiware-testbed-help] Help with Chef recipes

Hello testbed folks,

I am working with the chef recipes. I have read the instructions provided in http://forge.fi-ware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/How_to_create_recipes_for_the_GEs

I am now at the point where the recipes seem to be working standalone, I have tested them with chef-apply command (I know, this was not in the provided instructions. I found this command myself and it seemed to be the quickest and easiest way to test-run a recipe).

The last parts of the instructions are a bit confusing, and I have a few questions:

Recipes structure

"1. When you have created your cookbok, please upload it into the svn. Your cookbooks will be uploaded automatically to the chef server for testing: http://130.206.80.113:4040 (admin/chef321go). There you can check that your cookbook is there. "

    * For a very basic cookbook, do I have to do anything else than create the recipes under the recipes folder ? Do I have to e.g. create/modify some configuration files etc?
[Henar] You can have a look at others cookbook. Have you already uploaded it? I can have a look and provide to you feedback.

    * Are there any instructions available for working with the svn, how do I upload my cookbook there?
[Henar] You need to upload your cookbook in https://forge.fi-ware.org/scmrepos/svn/testbed/trunk/cookbooks/GESoftware. It is a svn, you can use any svn client or just command line.
    * The URL given for the chef server (http://130.206.80.113:4040) does not seem to work, at least with a web browser. How is this URL meant to be used? Do I have to configure it somewhere in Chef or is it supposed to work with a web browser?
[Henar] The url is https://130.206.81.105. I have just updated the wiki information.


Chef client / Chef-server

"Once the recipes have been testbed with the chef-solo, it's time for using the chef-client /chef-server configuration. FI-WARe provides an experimentation chef-server (https://130.206.81.105). To work with it, firstly, you need to ask for a valid admin user for the chef-server to the testbed team. "

    * How do I test the recipes with chef-solo? I don't think the instructions describe this in any way?
[Henar] For chef-solo (see the WIKI) is chef-solo -j node.json. For chef-client, just execute chef-client after you have configured your node (see WIKI)
    * I guess the server address given here is a totally different instance than given previously in the "Recipes structure" ? What are the differences/roles of these two servers?
[Henar] Information updated.
    * Could you please provide me the access credentials to this chef server?
[Henar] I will provide to you the credential in a separated mail.

This is the very first time I have ever worked with Chef, so I realize my questions might be dumb and obvious. Try to bare with me :)

Br,
Arto
