Yeah - currently deploying it from scratch is a little too hard for most people. I'd like to fix that, but just haven't had the time. I'd honestly love a system that deploys the image for you to the cloud of your choice - with setup for ssh keys and things to make it simple. Just not in the cards timewise at the moment.

FYI not everyone wants to run this in "the cloud". I have a LOT of bare metal and want to deploy something like this on bare metal. Please don't forget us users who buy our own hardware!

Same here. I'm waiting for clean and nie solution to utilize all spare hardware, I have in my company. It would be great to have simple PaaS running on one machine, it would be awesome to utilize them all. If someone could give me step-by-step instructions / solution how to do this, I would really pay for that (or support open source, if that's the case).

You should add comments to your example to explain what each step is doing.

If you're talking about this: http://www.octohost.io/screencast.html Then I have detailed what happens more thoroughly here: http://www.octohost.io/theory-of-operation.html That help?

I meant your "Advanced quickstart with AWS" on the front page. I can follow what it does, but I expect it's not obvious to many people.

You don't need a cloud. You can deploy it on whatever hardware you have as long as you have an SSH connection:

There's an entirely explained version here:

I should link to it from the homepage - that will be added shortly.

why the move from ansible to chef?

I have been using Chef for a number of years.

I started this project with Ansible because I wanted to learn how to use it.

As I went along, I wanted to learn more about TDDing Chef cookbooks with Test Kitchen so I switched back to Chef.

The knife solo page should help with this:
