This repository automates provisioning a bare machine to act as a site server. We use this mostly to document the server configuration.

To provision a server machine ...

1. Install git and puppet. For example:

    $ sudo apt-get install git puppet
   

2. Install the puppetlabs-vcsrepo puppet module:

    $ sudo puppet module install puppetlabs-vcsrepo
   

3. Clone this repository and apply the puppet manifest:

    $ git clone https://github.com/peebleslab/conf
    $ cd conf
    $ sudo puppet apply peebleslab.pp
   

4. Obtain plab-secrets.txt (how? that's a secret ...) and place it in /www.

That's it! Puppet should be able to pilot the provisioning process from there.

NOTE: the setup script clones the sites from source control, using the public read-only URL (https://...). If you need push access for a particular repo. you'll have to manually change the repo's origin to point to the private URL (git@github.com/...).
