This is a repository of some basic recipes for EY-Cloud using chef to deploy, setup, and configure common tools for Rails applications.

Follow these steps to use custom deployment recipes with your applications.

• Install the engineyard gem: $ gem install engineyard
• Add any custom recipes or tweaks to your copy of these recipes.
• Upload them with: ey recipes upload -e ENV, where ENV is the name of your environment in Engine Yard Cloud. This may be different than your Rails environment name.
• Once you have completed these steps, each rebuild will run the your recipes after the default Engine Yard recipes have run. When you update your recipes, just re-run ey recipes upload -e ENV.
