Jekyll-Puppet

Jekyll-Puppet automatically configures a git-push deployable Jekyll setup using puppet onto a server.

What Jekyll-Puppet does

• Creates deploy user
• Sets up git bare repository that you can git push to
• Install git Post-receive hook, so when you push it's automatically deployed. See: Jekyll Deployment
• Configures webserver (nginx)

Install

Only tested on Ubuntu so far. You'll need puppet and git to get started.

1. Update aptitude and install dependencies: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install puppet git rubygems
2. Clone this git repo somewhere on your server
3. Run puppet agent to configure everything: sudo puppet apply --modulepath=modules setup.pp
4. Append your ssh public-key (id_rsa.pub) to the 'deploy' users ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Note that ssh-copy-id [email protected] won't work since the deploy user is setup without a password.

Pushing Changes

Now you can clone anyones Jekyll repository (or create you own) and push it to your new server.

1. git remote add deploy [email protected]:~/jekyll.git
2. git push deploy master

Customization

Edit setup.pp if you want to make any customizations. (i.e.- not using nginx, adjust the www-root, deploy user, etc..)
