Set up node attributes
Include recipe.

Your admin invitekey will be stored as node attribute

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)

Ideas/Todo

• Setup Postfix or exim (or email)
• Send event notifications
