Notes for a successful installation of cloudfoundry on Amazon's EC2

cloudfoundry-install-notes.txt

Start with a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS AMI
 - 32 bits : ami-71dc0b18
 - 64 bits : ami-55dc0b3c

Open required ports in your security group
 - 22 (only for the installation)
  * Router
    - 80
  * Cloud controller
    - ...
  * nats server
    - ...
  * ...


Push your recipe package
 # scp -i your_key.pem dev_setup.tar.gz [email protected]:~/

Connect to your AMI
 # ssh -i your_key.pem [email protected]

Add the Chef apt repository
 # sudo bash -c 'echo "deb http://apt.opscode.com/ lucid-0.10 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opscode.list'
 # curl http://apt.opscode.com/[email protected] | sudo apt-key add -

Install Chef
 # sudo apt-get update
 # wget http://support.cloudfoundry.com/attachments/token/j7wxprpd9teyopk/?name=chef_0.10.4-1_all.deb
 # sudo dpkg -i index.html\?name\=chef_0.10.4-1_all.deb
 # sudo apt-get -fy install
 - You can just select OK when the Chef install ask you for config

Start the chef deployment
 # tar -xzf dev_setup.tar.gz
 # cd dev_setup
 - Select the deployment recipe you want to use : "-c"
 - Choose the domain name for your setup : "-D"
 - Select a repository and branch to fetch cloudfoundry from or default to the official cloudfoundry repo : "-r" and "-b"
 # ./bin/vcap_dev_setup -c ./deployments/your-config.yml  -D your-domain.com -r git://github.com/JeanSebTr/vcap.git -b master


Go drink a beer. It will take some time depending on your AMI size. (it will compile at least ruby 1.8 & 1.9)
