Attributes

In order to support multiple instances of Akara on one node, data bags are used. For the recipe, the following attributes apply:

• node["akara"]["data_bag"] must be set to the data bag containing the Akara instances to deploy, required.
• node["akara"]["base"] defaults to "/opt/akara"
• node["akara"]["user"] defaults to "akara"
• node["akara"]["group"] defaults to "akara"

Each item in the data bag will be known by and set up according to its idenifier. The data bag items can carry the following attributes:

• port defaults to 8880
• max_servers defaults to 100
• max_spare_servers defaults to 30
• min_spare_servers defaults to 10
• max_requests_per_server defaults to 1000
• log_level defaults to "INFO"
• pip_options defaults to nothing, extra options for pip
• packages lists extra packages and the version to install in the virtualenv. The recipe is aware of which are required and will install the latest for those that aren't in the packages hash.
• modules lists extra modules to include in akara.conf
• module_config is a hash with extra configuration directives, like

module_config: {
  config_class: { attr1: value,
                  attr2: other_value }
}

Usage

Include the default recipe to install Akara instances according to the data bags you set up.
