Usage

Via Resource (multi-instance)

miminal example script

::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Opscode::OpenSSL::Password)

node.set_unless['lf']['db_password'] = secure_password
node.set['lf']['db_user'] = "liquid_feedback"

liquid_feedback "org1" do

    email "org1.example.com"
    locale "de_DE.UTF-8"

    db_user node['lf']['db_user']
    db_password node['lf']['db_password']

    action [:create, :start]
end

liquid_feedback "org2" do

    email "org2@example.com"
    locale "en_US.UTF-8"

    db_user node['lf']['db_user']
    db_password node['lf']['db_password']

    action [:create, :start]
end

Via Recipe (single-instance)

Set up node attributes Include recipe.

Your admin invitekey will be stored as node attribute ruby node['lf']['admin_invitecode']

Notes

If you use chef-solo, you must set lf db password and postgresql password in node json directly:

    "lf": {
        "db": {
            "password": "passwordForLQInstanceUser"
        }
    },
    "postgresql": {
        "password": {
            "postgres": "passwordForConncetingToPG"
        }
    }

KNOWN BUGS with using resources: - Lighttpd currently supports only single-instance (web path) - Postgresql supports only one db_user and db_password (pg_hba needs to be setup for all users, circumvent with setting db_user and db_password same on all your resources)
