Puppet Installation of 'Passenger Standalone'

[Jon Jaroker]

Hello, Would someone please recommend a non-interactive way to install
'passenger standalone'?

The rakefile allows 'rake nginx' and 'rake apache', but I want to run
passenger in standalone mode. The command 'passenger start' is not
well suitable for automation with puppet as it waits for user input if
a dependency is missing.

I created a puppet module for this installation, but it is
unreliable. The standalone installation is implemented as:
-------------------------------
# Passenger Standalone Completes Installation by installing Nginx
exec{'Passenger Standalone First Run':
command => "${rubygems_bindir}/passenger start && $
{rubygems_bindir}/passenger stop",
creates => "${passenger_standalone_nginx_directory}/nginx",
logoutput=> on_failure,
require => Ruby::Gem['passenger'],
timeout => 900,
}
-------------------------------

Thank you,
Jon

Can't you just ensure that all dependencies are installed?

I already manage all dependencies except for nginx. I am currently
relying on passenger standalone to build nginx because I am not sure
about the nginx requirements.

How would you suggest I manage nginx with Puppet while making sure
that nginx is compiled correctly for Passenger?

Thank you,
Jon

You can compile binaries with 'passenger package-runtime'. Then you
just have to put the binaries in the right place.

And what would be "The right place" ? - Does `passenger package-runtime` compile to a different place than `passenger start` does when it runs the first time?

'passenger start' places files in /var/lib/passenger-standalone when run as root, or in ~/.passenger/standalone otherwise. 'passenger package-runtime' generates the same contents but puts it elsewhere.
