This (mono-)repository serves as an example for working with the YoloVer workflow.

This Chef repository will deploy Apache and PostgreSQL for a hypothetical Vandelay Industries.

The major centerpiece of the repo are the Policyfiles.

• policies/_base.rb – Shared base policy for all servers. This applies the chef-client recipe to all nodes and sets the default sources used for all policies.
• polices/db.rb – db policy to create a Postgres database server. This applies the vandelay-postgres recipe.
• policies/web.rb – web policy to create an Apache web server. This applies the vandelay-httpd recipe.

Each policy has a corresponding lockfile.

• policies/db.lock.json – Lockfile for the db policy.
• policies/web.lock.json – Lockfile for the web policy.

As this is at least in part a mono-repo layout, we have an old school cookbooks/ folder containing our local cookbooks.

• cookbooks/vandelay-httpd – Wrapper cookbook around the community httpd cookbook.
• cookbooks/vandelay-postgres – Local cookbook to install PostgeSQL because we didn't want to use any of the community ones.

To verify that our policies are correct, we use InSpec tests.

• test/integration/db/db_spec.rb – Tests for the db policy. Uses psql to confirm the database is operational.
• test/integration/web/web_spec.rb – Tests for the web policy. Uses curl to confirm the content of index page.

• .kitchen.yml – Test Kitchen configuration for integration tests of the policies.
