Usage

This cookbook contains two components, cloud_controller::server and cloud_controller::database. The default recipe runs both recipes.

cloud_controller::database is responsible for installing postgres and setting up a database with the proper permissions. To use it on a database node:

include_recipe "cloud_controller::database"

cloud_controller::server will install a CloudController on the target node along with the necessary configuration files and init scripts to run it. To use it within your recipes:

include_recipe "cloud_controller::server"
