puppet Dashboard安装指南
部分翻译自官方文档，详见
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/dashboard/manual/1.2/bootstrapping.html
1.安装依赖
apt-get install -y build-essential irb libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev libopenssl-ruby libreadline-ruby mysql-server rake rdoc ri ruby ruby-dev
2.安装rubygems
下载rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
解压安装
ruby setup.rb
3.Create gem as an alternative name for the gem1.8 command:
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gem gem /usr/bin/gem1.8 1
4.创建数据库
CREATE DATABASE dashboard CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE USER ‘dashboard‘@‘localhost‘ IDENTIFIED BY ‘123‘;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dashboard.* TO ‘dashboard‘@‘localhost‘;
5.配置
/etc/puppet-dashboard/database.yml
将下列字段修改为：
production:
database: dashboard
username: dashboard
password: 123
encoding: utf8
adapter: mysql
6.Preparing Schema
cd /usr/share/puppet-dashboard
rake RAILS_ENV=production db:migrate
7.创建Dashboard用户
创建组
groupadd dashboard
创建用户
useradd dashboard --no-create-home -g dashboard
8.启动puppet dashboard（使用WEBrick，不推荐，速度巨慢）
/usr/share/puppet-dashboard/script/server -e production
修改puppet master机器的/etc/puppet/puppet.conf，加入
[master]
reports = store, http
reporturl = http://localhost:3000/reports/upload
#node_terminus = exec
#external_nodes = /usr/bin/env PUPPET_DASHBOARD_URL=http://localhost:3000 /opt/puppet-dashboard/bin/external_node
9.启动puppet Dashboard（使用thin，反应极快）
http://rubygems.org/gems/thin/versions/1.6.2
下载那三个runtime dependencies gem包和thin的gem包，依次安装。
使用gem install -l *..gem安装
启动thin
sudo -u dashboard thin start -e production &
在/usr/share/puppet-dashboard目录中执行上述命令
10.启动和管理延时job workers
sudo -u dashboard env RAILS_ENV=production script/delayed_job -p dashboard -n 4 -m start
