# Intro Opskelaton is an opinionated bootstrap tool for local Sandbox projects. Opskeleton aims to solve the following common issues: * Devops develop Puppet modules on master machines which results with 'It works on my (machine) master' approach. * Implicit/Missing dependencies, like ruby version used, operating system, gems, third party puppet module * Manual steps in setting up puppet modules and local sandboxes (like installing third party code). * Non standard layout, projects missing README and LICENSE files, no clear separation between developed and dependant code. * No clear development guidelines, for example extracting general modules and exporting them. Opskeleton comes to solve these issues by introducing a decentralized development workflow with pre-defined layout, packaging and dependency management.

[](https://travis-ci.org/opskeleton/opskeleton) # Usage ## Installation Perquisites (on Ubuntu): * Vagrant 1.6.x * RVM * Ruby 1.9.x ```bash $ rvm use system $ sudo gem install opskeleton ``` Now Follow either [Chef](chef.md) or [Puppet](puppet.md). # Boxes Opskeleton recommends the use of [box-cutter](https://github.com/box-cutter) in order to create Vagrant boxes in a consistent manner (as no free hosting solution currently exist): ```bash # make sure to have latest packer $ packer version Packer v0.6.0 $ git clone git@github.com:box-cutter/ubuntu-vm.git $ cd ubuntu-vm # Edit Makefile.local $ cat Makefile.local # Makefile.local CM := puppet CM_VERSION := 3.6.1 $ make virtualbox/ubuntu1404 ``` A useful convention for Box names: ```bash ubuntu-14.04_puppet-3.6.1 ([os]-[version]_[provisioner]-[version]) ``` # Copyright and license Copyright [2013] [Ronen Narkis] Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
