LionAdmin

TODO: Write a gem description

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'LionAdmin'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install LionAdmin

To configure your Lion/Mountain Lion server for passwordless ssh-entry run the following commands on the L/ML server:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

This will prompt you for a location to save the keys, and a pass-phrase:

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/.ssh/id_rsa): 
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
Enter same passphrase again: 
Your identification has been saved in .ssh/id_rsa
Your public key has been saved in .ssh/id_rsa.pub

To configure the webserver to login to the L/ML server using the key you just generated, paste the contents of .ssh/id_rsa.pub to .ssh/authorized_keys on your webserver (in the rails user's directory) Next we want to configure L/ML server to run the serveradmin binary without prompting for a password:

$ sudo su root
$ chmod 640 /etc/sudoers
$ emacs /etc/sudoers

Add the following lines to /etc/sudoers

# run serveradmin without password
RUBY_USER    ALL=NOPASSWD:  /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/sbin/serveradmin

Where RUBY_USER is the name of the user that is ssh-ing to the server.
