Cookbook for deploying Magento.

This README needs some love, and is most likely out of date.

This cookbook makes a few assumptions…

• You deploy from a code repository. No generic installation from community tarball. (If you want vanilla community edition you can use the Magento mirror at github.com/LokeyCoding/magento-mirror.git)

• You have an entire Magento codebase in your repository. No Modman. I’d be happy to pull in additional Modman functionality if separated into a separate recipe.

Tested on Ubuntu 10.04

Opscode cookbooks:

• mysql

• php

• apache2

• opensssl

The openssl library is required from the openssl cookbook to generate secure passwords.

• magento - An array of hostname alias.

• magento - The Magento installation directory.

• magento[:host] - The Magento database host.

• magento[:database] - The Magento database.

• magento[:username] - The database username.

• magento[:password] - The database password. Defaults to a random secure pass.

• magento[:prefix] - The database table prefix. Defaults to no prefix.

• magento[:save] - The Magento session storage strategy.

• magento - The local code.

• magento - The timezone.

• magento - The default currency.

• magento - Yes skips validation on installation.

• magento - Yes uses rewrites rather than index.php/url

• magento - Yes uses HTTPS in frontend.

• magento - Yes uses HTTPS for admin backend.

• magento[:frontname] - Frontname for the admin backend.

• magento[:firstname] - Admin user firstname when running installer.

• magento[:lastname] - Admin user lastname when running installer.

• magento[:email] - Admin user email when running installer.

• magento[:username] = Admin user login.

• magento[:password] = Admin user password.

• magento[:enckey] - The Magento encryption key.

• magento - Sets the Magento developer mode in Apache config. 1/0

• magento - Enables Magento profiling in Apache config. 1/0

• magento[:url] - Url to Magento sample data.

• magento[:checksum] - Checksum of Magento sample data Url.

The random generation is handled with the secure_password method in the openssl cookbook which is a cryptographically secure random generator and not predictable like the random method in the ruby standard library.
