chef-deploy's Introduction

chef-deploy

A gem that provides resources and providers for deploying ruby web apps from chef recipes

Uses the same directory layout as capistrano and steals the git remote cached deploy strategy from cap and adapts it to work without cap and under chef. Not all options are required but they are all shown here as an example.

require 'chef-deploy'

deploy "/data/myrackapp" do
  repo "git://github.com/engineyard/rack-app.git"
  branch "HEAD"
  user "ez"
  role "app_master"
  enable_submodules true
  migrate true
  migration_command "rake db:migrate"
  environment "production"
  shallow_clone true
  revision '0xbeadbeef'
  restart_command "touch tmp/restart.txt" # "monit restart all -g foo", etc.
  action :deploy # or :rollback
end

Chef-deploy is backwards compatible with capistrano in the fact that it uses the same exact filesystem layout. You can deploy with cap on top of a chef-deploy system and vice versa.

Chef-deploy hooks:

If you create a APP_ROOT/deploy directory in your app you can place named hook files in there that will be triggered at the appropriate times during the deploy. the hooks are defined as follows:

APP_ROOT/

deploy/
  before_migrate.rb
  before_symlink.rb
  before_restart.rb
  after_restart.rb

These scripts will be instance_eval’d in the context of the chef-deploy resource. This means that you will have certain commands and variables available to you in these hooks. For example:

run "echo 'release_path: #{release_path}' >> #{shared_path}/logs.log"
run "echo 'current_path: #{current_path}' >> #{shared_path}/logs.log"
run "echo 'shared_path: #{shared_path}' >> #{shared_path}/logs.log"
sudo "echo 'sudo works' >> /root/sudo.log"

You have access to a run command and a sudo command. Both of these will run shell commands, run will run as your normal unix user that the app is deployed as and sudo will run as root for when you need more permissions.

You will have variables like in capistrano:

release_path: this is the full path to the current release:  /data/appname/releases/12345678
shared_path: this is the path to the shared dir: /data/appname/shared
current_path: this is the path to the currently symlinked release:  /data/appname/current
node:  node is the full chef node object, this will have all of the JSON collected by ohai as well as any custom json you passed into your client run. THis way you can get at *any* data you have available to any of your chef recipes.

Using subversion:

In your deploy block, simply add: scm ‘subversion’ (as well as svn_username and svn_password, if needed). Obviously, git-specific options like enable_submodules can be removed as they’re not applicable.

chef-deploy's Issues

scm 'subversion' doesn't work

Here my deploy block:

deploy "/srv/#{appname}" do
repo "###"
svn_username "###"
svn_password "###"
scm 'subversion'
branch node[:rails_app_name][:branch]
user "root"
group "root"
migrate node[:rails_app_name][:migrate]
migration_command node[:rails_app_name][:migrate_command]
environment node[:rails_app_name][:environment]
revision node[:rails_app_name][:revision]
action node[:rails_app_name][:action].to_sym
restart_command "touch tmp/restart.txt"
action :deploy
end

I always get this error:
"/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.8.6/bin/../lib/chef/resource.rb:74:in method_missing': undefined methodscm' for Chef::Resource::Deploy (NoMethodError)"

Changing the repo in the deploy block doesn't get reflected in deployment

The simplest example is changing branches (with SVN). The URL of the repo changes but since the directory already exists on the server it just updates the cached-copy. Not sure if this is SVN-related only.

The basic fix would be to compare the cached-copy repo to the repository in the configuration. If they don't match, delete the cached copy and export.

Wanted to get it noted here so that it doesn't get lost (since I can't fix it right now)

Release cleanup should be configurable and default to 5 (currently 6)

The cleanup action in chef-deploy should be configurable, like capistrano, to keep a configurable number of releases or disable the release cleanup. Also, capistrano's default is to keep the last 5 releases, but chef-deploy is cleaning up releases >= 5 instead of > 5 so it's keeping only 4 releases by default.

Doesn't work with current version of Chef

Hope to save people some time here. This gem no longer works with the newer releases of Chef.

Using the given example I got this error:


    ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)

This is caused by line 23 in /lib/chef-deploy.rb


    class Deploy < Chef::Resource

```
  def initialize(name, collection=nil, node=nil)
    super(name, collection, node)
```

The super method, defined in Chef itself, now expects different arguments.

Deploy doesn't seem to send notifications when updated

Having a line like this -- notifies :restart, resources(:service => 'delayed_job'), :delayed -- doesn't seem to work with chef-deploy. Even when the cached copy has been updated, my resource doesn't receive the notification.

Would obviously be handy to be able to use the notifies system.

When using svn as the scm
