Joyent instance lifecycle tools with attitude

Manic Baker

Note: Most of the functionality in this repository is better implemented in Vagrant or Knife.

Manic Baker lets you do all the stuff you want for a full continuous deployment cycle on Joyent:

1. Spin up a new Joyent base image
2. Bootstrap the new node into Chefable condition
3. Parbake your application code
4. Run your runlist using soloist
5. Snapshot the Joyent instance
6. Scale instances up or down using a snapshot id

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'manic_baker'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install manic_baker

Usage

Manic Baker has a totally baller command line interface.
