deploy-user cookbook

Note this version of the cookbook will be replaced with an entirely new version as a major version bump. It is here for legacy reasons.

Usage

This cookbook will create a deploy user if there is the appropriate data bag item for a user e.g. data_bags/users/deploy.json. Note since the private key is sensitive, it should be an encrypted data bag.

{
  "id": "deploy",
  "groups": ["deploy"],
  "ssh_private_key": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- ...",
  "ssh_public_key": "ssh-rsa AAAA... comment"
}

It will also load the appropriate known SSH host keys to the global /etc/sshd/ssh_known_hosts so that these SSH hosts will already be trusted at deployment time to avoid interactivity problems. The default will add github.com's host key, but can be configured via node['capistrano']['known_hosts']

This attribute will take either an array of SSH host domains (which ssh_known_hosts cookbook will look up the SSH host key for, or a Hash of {host=>host key}.
