SiSA - Simple Server Architecture

This project is designed for a simple start with private web applications unsing PHP, Nginx, several databases, continuous integration etc. It is maybe useful for small startups at the very first beginning. It's containing several chef cookbooks to setup up several servers with different roles or just create a developer box with everything installed on it. For more details you should have a look into the other readme files you find in the subdirectories. This project contains my basic cookbooks for setting up webapplication based servers for different environments like development, testing, staging and production.

To setup your web application server configuration for Nginx, the "Projects" cookbook is used.

Requirements

First of you should have a basic understanding of chef. If you want to use it with Vagrant and VirtualBox you should have Knowledge with these technologies or have a look into the Wiki.

Setup

You can setup your project with SiSa using Composer, Bower or NPM. For more details have a look in the wiki pages. My experience with vagrant showed, after adding Chef cookbooks the first time, you to need to recreate your VM (Windows host). But you can try to run vagrant provision only.

Original Chef Readme

More information about handling with Chef you'll find in the README-Chef.md.
