16:39 <jmhodges> auser: stimble jashmenn_ pingali_ http://twitter.com/evan/status/1741030782

16:39 <jmhodges> ah, whoops, not all of you would be interested.

16:39 <jmhodges> meh, i'm reading closer and even i'm not as interested.

16:40 <jashmenn_> oh jmhodges youre here!

16:40 <jashmenn_> try out my new git-style-binaries gem

16:40 <jashmenn_> sudo gem install jashmenn-git-style-binaries --source=http://gems.github.com

16:40 <jashmenn_> then

16:40 <jashmenn_> cd `gem env gemdir`/gems/jashmenn-git-style-binaries-0.1.4/test/fixtures

16:40 <jashmenn_> and toy with the binaries in there

16:43 <jmhodges> jashmenn_: cool, will do

16:47 <pingali_> jmhodges: interesting. my friend was going to Stonebraker's vertica. it is about columnstores - a database model. do you see a relationship to PP?

16:49 <pingali_> jmhodges: oops. just saw your further notes. ignore me.

17:45 <jasherai|away> i

18:25 <orngchkn> So where's the latest docs?

18:26 <pingali_> http://wiki.github.com/auser/poolparty AFAIK

18:29 <orngchkn> What does the junk_yard_dogs method do in the basic example? That should probaby be yanked for clarity

18:29 <orngchkn> Do we have to explicitly enable haproxy now?

18:30 <pingali_> http://auser.github.com/poolparty/

18:30 <pingali_> Check the new webpage as well

18:30 <auser> yeah, actually the latest version of the code (in the explicit_dsl branch, not ready yet) enforces that

18:30 <auser> we do

18:31 <auser> brb lunch

18:50 <orngchkn> have commands for mounting EBS volumes?

18:54 <pingali_> I believe pre-1.0 versions had it. now you have to use chef recipes.

18:54 <orngchkn> how about automating the assignment of an elastic ip address?

18:54 <orngchkn> OK

18:54 <pingali_> I believe PP 1.2 support elastic IP but am not familiar with the interface.

18:55 <auser> just say

18:55 <auser> elastic_ips []

18:56 <orngchkn> where's the docs for that?

18:57 <auser> I don't know if they are in there yet, jashmenn_ has been working on the docs, but he's split his time

19:00 <orngchkn> Sooo.... can't install the gem

19:00 <orngchkn> rake install fails

19:00 <orngchkn> [ .... "vendor/gems/dslify/website/stylesheets/screen.css", "vendor/gems/dslify/website/template.html.erb"] are not files

19:00 <auser> rake gemspec

19:00 <orngchkn> Shouldn't that be a dependency task of rake install?

19:01 <orngchkn> We're gonna have to make another n00b-proofing pass

19:03 <auser> yup, glech

19:04 <orngchkn> So, to mount an EBS volume...

19:04 <orngchkn> I have to download the AMI tools?

19:04 <pingali_> depends.

19:04 <orngchkn> use the machine's IP ... attach

19:04 <orngchkn> and then mount

19:04 <orngchkn> pingal1: all?

19:04 <pingali_> on whether you are running the mount from the ec2 instance or some other place.

19:05 <pingali_> ami tools are required whether you run.

19:05 <pingali_> it is actually attach, not mount.

19:05 <orngchkn> You have to attach then mount

19:05 <pingali_> once attached, the volume can be mounted like any other.

19:05 <orngchkn> right

19:06 <pingali_> I have a trivial recipe that I copied from somebody else in pingali/chef-repo/cookbooks/ec2-ebs

19:06 <pingali_> (on github)

19:08 <orngchkn> where'd you get the original?

19:08 <pingali_> trying to find it.

19:08 <orngchkn> To confirm: You have to install the API tools

19:08 <orngchkn> (and put your keys on each instance??)

19:08 <pingali_> wherever you run the attach command.

19:08 <pingali_> yes.

19:09 <auser> yes, the new ec2 install-poolparty will take care of that when we get this in

19:10 <pingali_> if you need access to S3 you will end up putting credentials on the instance! :(

19:10 <pingali_> some of the newer amis come with ami tools pre-installed.

19:11 <orngchkn> Man... I don't know why my brain does not wrap easily around this.

19:11 <pingali_> installing java from a script is a bit of pain (licence agreement etc.)

19:12 <orngchkn> Do you guys use a dna.rb file?

19:15 <pingali_> ok. here is the original one. http://github.com/probablycorey/chef-sample/tree/master

19:19 <pingali_> I used dna.json as holoway mentions in #chef

19:20 <orngchkn> And how are you using that with poolparty?

19:20 <pingali_> two separate things.

19:21 <pingali_> I used dna.json to test individual recipes etc.

19:21 <pingali_> PP generates a dna.json automatically and runs chef-solo with that spec.

19:21 <pingali_> dna.json is nothing but receipes + parameters

19:23 <pingali_> example http://gist.github.com/109054

19:24 <orngchkn> OK

19:24 <orngchkn> In my recipe for PP, I can set node values by doing: node[:postgresql][:dir] = '....'

19:25 <pingali_> yes. you can. I do that in the chef.rb that I include in clouds.rb as recipe <path>

19:27 <orngchkn> alright..... starting to click

19:28 <orngchkn> I'm feeling real slow today
