Fucking Shell Scripts

The easiest, most common sense server configuration management tool...because you just use fucking shell scripts.

Completely confused by Chef? Blowing your brains out over Ansible? Lost control of your puppets? Wanna just use fucking shell scripts to configure a server? Read on!

Features

  • Wraps up the fog gem, so it can be used on any cloud service, including AWS, rackspace, etc.
  • We've intentionally designed this tool to be insanely easy to use

Step 0: Install the gem

gem install fucking_shell_scripts

Step 1: Create a project directory

mkdir config_management

Folder structure:

  • /servers (required) - yaml server definitions (see example below)

  • /scripts (required) - the shell scripts that will configure your servers (see example below)

  • /files (optional) - files to be transferred to servers (nginx.conf, ssh keys, database.yml, etc.)

An example folder structure:

./config_management
├── files
│   ├── keys
│   │   └── deploy_key
│   └── rails_config
│       └── database.yml
├── scripts
│   ├── apt.sh
│   ├── deploy_key.sh
│   ├── git.sh
│   ├── redis.sh
│   ├── ruby2.sh
│   ├── rubygems.sh
│   ├── search_service_code.sh
│   └── search_service_env.sh
└── servers
    ├── defaults.yml
    └── search-server.yml

Step 2: Create a server definition file

The server definition file defines how to build a type of server. Server definitions override settings in defaults.yml.

# servers/search-server.yml
##################################################
# This file defines how to build our search server
##################################################

name: search-server
size: c1.xlarge
availability_zone: us-east-1d
image: ami-90374bf9
key_name: pd-app-server
private_key_path: /Users/yourname/.ssh/pd-app-server
security_groups: search-service  # override the security_groups defined in defaults.yml

############################################
# Files necessary to build the search server
############################################

files:
  - files/keys/deploy_key

###########################################
# Scripts needed to build the search server
###########################################

scripts:
  - scripts/apt.sh
  - scripts/search_service_env.sh
  - scripts/git.sh
  - scripts/ruby2.sh
  - scripts/rubygems.sh
  - scripts/redis.sh
  - scripts/deploy_key.sh

servers/defaults.ymlhas the same structure and keys a server definition file, except, you cannot define scripts or files.

# servers/defaults.yml
################################
# This file defines our defaults
################################

security_groups: simple-group
size: c1.medium
image: ami-e76ac58e
availability_zone: us-east-1d
key_name: global-key
cloud:
  provider: AWS
  aws_access_key_id: <=% ENV[AWS_ACCESS_KEY] %>
  aws_secret_access_key: <%= ENV[AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY] %>
  region: us-east-1

Cloud options

Anything passed in the 'cloud' key will be directly passed to Fog::Compute.new. See the fog website for more info.

FSS will consider any values that look like "ENV[VAR_NAME]" to be environment variables, and will attempt to look up that environment variable. If FSS does not find that variable, an exception will be raised.

Step 3: Add shell scripts that configure the server

Seriously...just write shell scripts.

Want to install Ruby 2? Here's an example:

#!/bin/sh
#
# scripts/ruby2.sh
#
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline6-dev libyaml-dev
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz
tar -xzf ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz
cd ruby-2.0.0-p247
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
rm -rf /tmp/ruby*

Step 4: Build/configure your server

fss search-server

This command does 2 things:

  1. Builds the new server
  2. Runs the scripts configuration

To build only:

fss --build search-server

To configure only:

fss --instance-id i-9ad6d7af --configure search-server

Note: --instance-id is required when using the --configure option

Step 5: Remove your chef repo and all its contents.

rm -rf ~/old_config_management/chef

HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS EASY.
