Simpler bash recipes

Build install scripts that are stand-alone bash

Support "dry runs", where the guard statements can be executed without actually running the installation statements

Stop using Ruby to back up the postgres database in your Rails app. Use bash instead!

##Install:

cd /usr/local/bin
git clone https://gist.github.com/4552332.git db_backup

chmod +x db_backup/db_backup.sh

Stop serving assets from your own nginx instance. Instead, let Cloudfront CDN do it for you.

Steps:

Read http://ryantownsend.co.uk/post/13126016608/cloudfront-cdn-on-rails
Set up your nginx virtual host according to the snippet I've included in nginx_vhost.conf
Set up your rails app to use an asset host as described in the article. I've included my config in production.rb

	# deploy to:
	SERVER=server.com
	APP=app_name
	DEPLOY=/srv/$APP
	ENVIRONMENT=production

	# clone source from:
	REPO=ssh://[email protected]/username/repo.git
	BRANCH=master

	Problem: how to reference templates from recipe file?

	How about....

	* export all attributes as env variables (in install.sh just before the place where the role scripts get injected?)
	* add helper method to recipes/sunzi.sh called sunzi::template
	* call sunzi::template from recipes and pass in url of template file
	* sunzi::template will wget the file to ~/sunzi/files/ unless the file already exists (allows override with local template file)
	* sunzi::template will then run the template file through envsubst to substitute the env variables (http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/cmd.csp?path=e/envsubst)
