[Glass] GLASS appliance (VMWare virtual machine) still available?

[Jupiter Jones via Glass]

Hi all,

We are about to go through exactly this process using either cfEngine or Puppet. If there’s a project underway to do this let me know, otherwise I’ll post here once we get started next week and it’s up on github. Our initial targets will be OS X and ubuntu (our dev and deploy platforms) but we’ll make sure it’s extendible to other platforms.

The goal is a hardened GsDevKit server or group of servers that each play a role in a GS deployment. roles for stone, web server, gem servers, etc. to help with scaling to more machines. Any other suggestions and comments are more than welcome. 

Cheers,

Jupiter

The core installServer script would remain unchanged, but a number of the various copy/paste steps can be automated and different linux distributions can be used as a target ... It would also automate such tasks as installing a web server (like nginx) and could presumably automate the installation of daemontools and monit  as well
