697062 - node support in puppet

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: WebOps: Other, task)

Description

[Corey Shields [:cshields]]

Lots of requests for node hosting right now, we need to be able to manage it through puppet.

Not sure if a separate node module would be appropriate or roll this into the webapp module (in some cases node will live aside apache and in others it will act alone, further complicating the implementation)

No npm provider in puppet either..  fun times!

Decided to just build an rpm wrapper for these. Now node packages are really easy to create and documented @ https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/SYSADMIN/Building+node.js+packages

I see this bug is about more than just dependencies. Reopening.

Right, unless the rpm installs and magically we have a running node app, we probably need a bit more here  :)

thanks Jeremy!

This is now needed for MDN and kuma..  Will need to work it out soon.

Looks like the Mana page for building packages is 404 (at least for me). At least 2 things here that I'm curious to see what we do with:

1) Packaging & installing node itself

2) Packaging & installing node module dependencies for an app, which can include binary compiled modules. (like MDN needing https://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers/)

We have an RPM for node and Comment 1 explains how to turn node deps in to RPMs.
