aws-cookbook-boilerplate

Cookbook repository boilerplate for Amazon AWS OpsWorks

A working custom cookbook repository to be used with Amazon AWS OpsWorks, based on Deploying MongoDB with OpsWorks. This repo adds a custom recipe to install MongoDB from https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/mongodb.

Recipes

mongodb-aws

In order to access MongoDB on your running instance you'll need to open up port 27017 (assuming you are using the default) by setting a security group through Amazon EC2 console.

Known issues

  • No such file or directory - systemctl: as reported in edelight/chef-mongodb#358, the first time you run your mongodb instance you may experience this error. Stopping and starting mongod service should fix the issue and next time you start the instance everything should be fine.

opsworks_nodejs

The original OpsWorks Node.js layer is flawed as it discards the output of the app. In this boilerplate we override it to output to deploy[:deploy_to]/current/log/console.log following stackoverflow #28183395 example.

Updating Custom Cookbooks

AWS caches the custom cookbook repository locally. If you modify the custom cookbooks in the repository, you must ensure that the updated cookbooks are installed on your instances' local caches. You can do that by going to Stack -> Run Command -> Update Custom Cookbooks. More about this on AWS: Updating Custom Cookbooks.
