Description

Install the Cloud Foundry stager,
a mandatory component of a Cloud Foundry
installation.

Note: we recommend you deploy the stager on the same node as the
cloud_controller. While this may not be necessary, this release has only
been tested in that configuration.

Requirements

• Ubuntu

• node['cloudfoundry_stager']['max_staging_duration'] - Maximum number of seconds a staging can run. Defaults to 120.
• node['cloudfoundry_stager']['max_active_tasks'] - Maximum number of tasks executing concurrently. Defaults to 10.
• node['cloudfoundry_stager']['queues'] - List of queues to pull tasks from. Defaults to ['staging'].
• node['cloudfoundry_stager']['data_dir'] - Base directory for the stager to store working information; it is used to set defaults for other attributes (see below). Defaults to File.join(node['cloudfoundry']['data_dir'], "stager").
• node['cloudfoundry_stager']['tmp_dir'] - Path to a directory where the stager will create temporary files. Defaults to File.join(node['cloudfoundry_stager']['data_dir'], "tmp").
• node['cloudfoundry_stager']['cache_dir'] - Path to a directory where the staging plugins will cache reusable software artifacts (ruby gems, npm packages etc). Defaults to File.join(node['cloudfoundry_stager']['data_dir'], "package_cache", "ruby").
• node['cloudfoundry_stager']['secure'] - Set true to run the staging process as a separate unprivileged user. WARNING: it seems to be unused at this time. Defaults to false.
