Recipes
default
Install and starts the Boulder server.
Notes
-
Pay close attention to the output of any failed attempts. By default, Boulder tries to use all ports in the range 8000 to 8010, among others. If there is a conflict with other applications, you can use this cookbook's attributes to force Boulder onto a different port.
-
If you're running the boulder server during testing, and it's on the same server as the webserver, you'll likely want to edit the hostsfile. The
hostfilecookbook is great for this.
Development
To tag and publish a new version of this cookbook, first ensure:
- the
metadata.rbversion has been bumped appropriately, - the
CHANGELOG.mdhas been updated, and - all changes have been committed to git.
Once that has been done:
bundle exec rake publish
This will create a git tag and push a new release to the Supermarket.
