Set up Chef on Ubuntu Machine

Ubuntu + Chef + Errors

On  chef server(new ubuntu machine)

cd ~
Install the chef server or install from web site
 => http://www.getchef.com/chef/install/
or
cli
=> wget https://opscode-omnibus-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/12.04/x86_64/chef-server_11.0.10-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb

Install the package using terminal
=> sudo dpkg -i chef-server*

Run this command to confugre chef server on the machine
=> sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure

Open browser (write https and ip of server)
https://server_domain_or_IP

Add default username and password.


On workstation(diiferent ubuntu machine)

update the system
=> sudo apt-get update

Install Git
=> sudo apt-get install git

Install Curl
=> sudo apt-get install curl

You can download the chef client from wesite and manually install this.
http://www.getchef.com/chef/install/
otherwise run
=> curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash

Get the chef-repo from git
=> git clone https://github.com/opscode/chef-repo.git

create .chef repository
=> mkdir ~/chef-repo/.chef

Copy the keys:

Now we will put the keys into .chef folder so open in browser put chef server url
https://server_domain_or_IP

Login and Tap on the Clients > edit(chef-validator) > chek the checkbox > save
It will generate a key so just copy the private key and paste in

create a chef-validator file in .chef folder
=> vim chef-validator.pem
paste the key

There should be no extra space
Now same for the Users > admin > edit > check checkbox  for regenerate the private key > save
It will generate a key so just copy the private key and paste in

create a chef-validator file in .chef folder
=> vim admin.pem
paste the key

run knife command
=> knife configure --initial

PASTE THE PATH ASKED BY OPETIONS LIKE FOR admin key path should be /home/vagrant/chef-repo/.chef/admnin.pem
same for the all


No need to commit the .chef folder so
=> vim ~/chef-repo/.gitignore

Add .chef in the end of the file

.rake_test_cache

###
# Ignore Chef key files and secrets
###
.chef/*.pem
.chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret
.chef

run knife command to check if knife is configured or not
=> knife user list

if it gives error reconfigure the knife configuration

Client Node (another ubuntu instance) ip address(22.2.22.1)

now bootstrap to the clint using the following command
=> knife bootstrap 22.2.22.1 -x username -P password -N name_for_node --sudo

If bootstraps success than you will find a node in chef-repo/nodes

Now chek client list
=> knife client list


Errors faced by me

While creating node
Error: RuntimeError: Please set EDITOR environment variable
Sol:
export EDITOR=$(which vi)

ERROR: Failed to upload /home/vagrant/chef-repo/cookbooks/apt/recipes/default.rb
Sol:
Chef-server redirects api clients between its components (in this case erchef and bookshelf). These redirects are based on the FQDN of the chef-server. If the server doesn't have a valid FQDN at install time, this can result in redirects to https://localhost:443.

One solution is to fix the FQDN on chef-server and run chef-server-ctl reconfigure.

Another solution is to set a few options in /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb (I had to create this file) and then run chef-server-ctl reconfigure.

server_name = "192.168.114.11"
api_fqdn server_name

nginx['url'] = "https://#{server_name}"
nginx['server_name'] = server_name
lb['fqdn'] = server_name
bookshelf['vip'] = server_name

Swap Memory in Ubuntu

Swap Memory + Ubuntu

I found these two blogs for swap memory which provide me a good understanding about swap memory and help me to increase swap memory of my Ubuntu system

Vagrant (Virtual Machine Manager on ubuntu)

Virtual Machine Manager + Vagrant + Generate Multiple VM's + Windows +

 Common Errors + VMware

Steps to starts

. Create a folder anywhere and give entry in the folder
   mkdir tarun

 . cd tarun

 . vagrant init   #it will generate a file named "vagrant" with cinfigurations.

 . cd vagrant

 . Add a box into the ".vagrant.d\boxes\" in C drive.

 . run command  :-
   vagrant box add precise64 "C:\Users\admin\.vagrant.d\boxes\precise64.box"

 . When you will enter into the vagrant folder you will find a vagrant configuration file. In vagrant configuration file create a global configuration for virtual box.
 
   config.vm.box = "precise64"

 . Create the three layers.
   vagrant up

 . Define 3 enviornments with same virtual box.

    config.vm.define "web" do |web|
      #web.vm.box = "web"
      #web.vm.hostname = "web"
      web.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"
      web.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
    end

    config.vm.define "db" do |db|
      #db.vm.box = "db"
      #db.vm.hostname = "mysql"
      db.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.10.22"
      db.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 3306, host: 8888
    end

    config.vm.define "master" do |master|
      #master.vm.box = "master"
      #master.vm.hostname = "master"
      master.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.10.23"
      master.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
    end

  . Define networks to communicate.
    master.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.10.23"

  . Define port  
    master.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080

  . After changing run command
    vagrant reload   #helps to configure the changed configuration

  . After generate the three layers, check the virtual box.

  . To enter in the layers, use command
     vergant ssh web 


 ERRORS:

  Error: Failed to create the host-only adapter :-
  Sol:   Reinstall the virtualbox and run it as administration.
    Or update the virtual box

  Error: Vagrant cannot forward the specified ports on this VM, since they
      would collide with some other application that is already listening
      on these ports. The forwarded port to 8080 is already in use
      on the host machine.
  Sol: write    :-   , auto_correct: true
       else :- Change the host, if already defined.

Rails and Mysql Set up on ubuntu Server

Ruby + Rails + Mysql + RVM + Gemset + Apache

Steps to set up server

On Ubuntu Image

Reference Link

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-with-rvm

1. Install curl first

sudo apt-get install curl

2. Install rvm

\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

3. Path to load rvm (Given in comments after installation of )

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

or

source ~/.profile

4. Requirements related to rvm

rvm requirements

5. Check version of rubies present on cloud

rvm list known

6. Install specific version

rvm install 1.9.3

7. Create gemset for particular rvm

rvm gemset create demo

8. Use gemset

rvm gemset use demo 

9. If you want to build a application from scratch than install gem rails.

gem install rails -v 3.2.14

10. Otherwise enter into the application and run

rvm use 1.9.3-p374@demo

bundle

Installing Mysql steps

Make sure your package management tools are up-to-date. Also make sure you install all the latest software available.

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Install the MySQL server and client packages:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

You need to set a root password

sudo mysqladmin -u root -h localhost password 'mypassword'

sudo mysqladmin -u root -h myhostname password 'mypassword'

For Ruby dependencies install

sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby

You can now access your MySQL server like this:

mysql -u root -p
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installing Apache has never been easier using apt-get.

First, I updated the repositories.

sudo apt-get update

Then fixed the locales.

sudo locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8 en_CA.UTF-8

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

And finally installed all the basic packages I thought I'd need.


sudo apt-get install apache2 curl git build-essential zlibc zlib1g-dev zlib1g libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libopenssl-ruby apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev libreadline6 libreadline6-dev

Set Up PostgreSql On Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

sudo -u postgres createuser --superuser tarun

sudo -u postgres psql

postgres=# \password tarun

password: tarun

enter again password: tarun

\q

Client programs, by default, connect to the local host using your Ubuntu login name and expect to find a database with that name too. So to make things REALLY easy, use your new superuser privileges granted above to create a database with the same name as your login name:

 sudo -u postgres createdb tarun

Connecting to your own database to try out some SQL should now be as easy as:

 psql

Creating additional database is just as easy, so for example, after running this:

 create database mmagap;

 If you get the below error after restart the server

psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "postgres"

Switch to postgres user

$ sudo su - postgres   #it will ask for password and by default password is also postgres

After switch the user to postgres, open psql console

$ psql

so check the version of postgres if multiple versions are available

psql=# select VERSION();

PostgreSQL 9.1.13 on x86_64-unk....         # so version is 9.1

Now Open From postgres user

vim /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf   #  9.1 is version return form upper command

and replace

local   all             postgres                                peer

to

local   all             postgres                                md5
