Chef scripts to provision amoschan.com

Chef Script for amoschan.com

This script will provision the server that runs my personal blog.

The blogs are static sites that are generated by Ignoramos and synced via Dropbox.

This has been tested to run on the following Digital Ocean droplet:

• 512MB Ram
• Ubuntu 14.04 x64

Simply create the droplet and run the following command:

./setup_vps.sh deploy $droplet_ip

Where $droplet_ip is the IP of the droplet that was created.

After the droplet has been provisioned, you'll need to login as deploy and install Dropbox with the script provided:

~/bin/install_dropbox.sh

This script will install Dropbox and walk you through linking the server to your Dropbox account.

~/bin/setup_dropbox.sh

This script will:

• Selectively sync ~/Dropbox/Sites
• Symlink the static sites to the folders Nginx expects to serve them from

After Dropbox is installed, restart Nginx and you should be good to go!

sudo service nginx restart

This web server uses Nginx to serve two static sites:

• amoschan.com is served at /home/deploy/apps/amoschan
• badchristian.amoschan.com is served at /home/deploy/apps/badchristian

Both folders are symlinked from ~/Dropbox/Sites, which is synced via Dropbox.
