800914 - Revise vagrant + puppet configuration for post-MindTouch world

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

We launched Kuma and no longer use MindTouch. But, the vagrant + puppet setup is still full of MindTouch. How about we:

* Do some cleanup and remove MindTouch dependencies
* Snapshot a new base box with the above done
* Get lorchard to update his base box image on people.mozilla.org (or find it a better home)

I don't know if I'd call this a dupe of 789511 - removing MindTouch is just one of many things that needs doing to the Vagrant setup. 

Might be better to make this one a blocker of 789511, instead, and file further blockers to capture what more needs doing.

This is not a duplicate of 789511. If anything, it's one of many blockers that should be broken out of the larger task.

One other thing that occurred to me that would be useful to do along with excising MindTouch: Switch the base OS over to Ubuntu and give up on CentOS. 

Seems like many of the packages needed by this stuff are harder to find for CentOS, and the only reason I originally picked CentOS was to try to match our production servers. I'd also hoped to use Mozilla IT's package repos for setting this stuff up, to also match production servers.

Well, that's probably tilting at windmills, and Kuma should work just as well on Ubuntu. So, why not switch over?

fix bug 800914: Excise mindtouch, switch vagrant to ubuntu

* Switch to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from CentOS for base OS

* Remove MindTouch installation manifests

* Perform `npm install` on kumascript, which ensures node-fibers build.

* Stop using a virtualenv for python libs, rely more on Ubuntu packages
  for quicker setup.

* General cleanup in Puppet manifests. Consolidate some simpler small
  puppet manifests (eg. Apache, MySQL, memcache, etc)

* New self-signed SSL cert, since we're not using CentOS' out-of-box

* Tweak to wiki South migration #10 to ignore attempt to delete an index
  that's already gone.
