MetHabi

A deployment process for Meteor applications, built from Chef Habitat

Specific Task. Standard Tools.

Overview

MetHabi works in several phases :

1. Initial hook up to your target server
2. First time deployment
3. Subsequent deployments

Initial Hook Up

MetHabi needs to create a user account hab on your target server. This account will have passwordless sudo privileges for running Chef Habitat. It also needs to install the Habitat executable also called hab.

The script CommissionHabitatHost.sh attempts to connect to the target server and upload a remotely callable shell script PrepareChefHabitat.sh.

PrepareChefHabitat.sh creates a user called hab and then obtains hab and prepares it for use.
