Recipes

###apache_solr4 Performs default setup of the SOLR 4.6.0; Reuses tomcat cookbook. For best results with chef-solo, override ssl passwords in environment:

 "override_attributes":{
      "tomcat" : {
                   "keystore_password": "devroot",
                    "truststore_password": "devroot"
                  }                 

    }

also make sure that you have tomcat_users databag in place so the recipe could configure tomcat users rights. Example of the databag item:

{
  "id": "root",
  "password": "devroot",
  "roles": [
    "manager",
    "admin"
  ]
}

NodeJS modules installed with this recipe:

bower http://bower.io/
csslint http://csslint.net/about.html
grunt-cli http://gruntjs.com/getting-started
less https://github.com/less/less.js , http://lesscss.org/
yo http://yeoman.io/
supervisor https://github.com/isaacs/node-supervisor

Note: due to npm porting issues to windows systems, supervisor makes useful sense for unixes only if you are running nodejs on windows consider another approach Dirty example:

gem install watchr
watchr .watchr	
where .watchr

RUN_COMMAND = "node server.js > server.log"
KILL_COMMAND = "taskkill /IM node.exe /f"
 
puts "starting server"
io = IO.popen(RUN_COMMAND)
 
watch("^.*\.js$") do |match|  
    system KILL_COMMAND
    puts "restarting server"
    io = IO.popen(RUN_COMMAND)
end

###oracle_virtualbox This recipe is intended to use on host computer only. it installs Oracle VirtualBox 4.3 https://www.virtualbox.org/ In combination with Vagrant this tool can be used for virtual development environments provision.

Super simple, cross platform installation - obviously :)
Track time spent in functions by self cost or inclusive cost. Inclusive cost is time inside function + calls to other functions.
