Chef cookbook to install Alfresco Community Edition.

chef-alfresco

Description

Installs Alfresco Community Edition.

Usage

The default behavior downloads the specified version of the Alfresco Community Edition archive from Alfresco's official release download site.

You can optionally specify a maven_repo_url, maven_gav_repository, and maven_gav_share to download from a Maven repository, allowing you to use more recent snapshots or custom releases from your own Maven repository.

(Note that the release archive is currently still downloaded when maven settings are present for access to tools and other files within the archive)

You can also place AMPs in #{tomcat_dir}/amps and #{tomcat_dir}/amps_share which will be applied to the repository and Share WARs respectively.

Requirements

Requirements

Chef

Tested on 10.12.0 but newer and older version should work just fine. File an issue if this isn't the case.

Platform

The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the recipes run on these platforms without error:

• ubuntu (10.04/12.04)

Please report any additional platforms so they can be added.

Cookbooks

This cookbook depends on the following external cookbooks:

• database (Opscode)
• imagemagick (Opscode)
• java (Opscode)
• mysql (Opscode)
• openoffice
• swftools
• tomcat (Opscode)
• maven (Opscode)

Installation

Depending on the situation and use case there are several ways to install this cookbook. All the methods listed below assume a tagged version release is the target, but omit the tags to get the head of development. A valid Chef repository structure like the Opscode repo is also assumed.

From the Opscode Community Platform

To install this cookbook from the Opscode platform, use the knife command:

knife cookbook site install alfresco

Using Librarian-Chef

Librarian-Chef is a bundler for your Chef cookbooks. Include a reference to the cookbook in a Cheffile and run librarian-chef install. To install Librarian-Chef:

gem install librarian
cd chef-repo
librarian-chef init

To use the Opscode platform version:

echo "cookbook 'alfresco'" >> Cheffile
librarian-chef install

Or to reference the Git version:

cat >> Cheffile <<END_OF_CHEFFILE
cookbook 'alfresco',
  :git => 'git://github.com/fnichol/chef-alfresco.git', :ref => 'v0.2.0'
END_OF_CHEFFILE
librarian-chef install

Using knife-github-cookbooks

The knife-github-cookbooks gem is a plugin for knife that supports installing cookbooks directly from a GitHub repository. To install with the plugin:

gem install knife-github-cookbooks
cd chef-repo
knife cookbook github install fnichol/chef-alfresco/v0.2.0

As a Tarball

If the cookbook needs to downloaded temporarily just to be uploaded to a Chef Server or Opscode Hosted Chef, then a tarball installation might fit the bill:

cd chef-repo/cookbooks
curl -Ls https://github.com/fnichol/chef-alfresco/tarball/v0.2.0 | tar xfz - && \
  mv fnichol-chef-alfresco-* alfresco

As a Git Submodule

A dated practice (which is discouraged) is to add cookbooks as Git submodules. This is accomplishes like so:

cd chef-repo
git submodule add git://github.com/fnichol/chef-alfresco.git cookbooks/alfresco
git submodule init && git submodule update

Note: the head of development will be linked here, not a tagged release.
