I haven't fleshed it out completely, but yes, I think at worst it would require, temporary, in memory only storage of the VMs root password to bootstrap the software, with a user specified password applied at the end of the run.
5. the VM would deploy, and apply the recipes, it would then kick you back a git repo to pull of all the recipes that ran to get your stack up and running (postgres, passenger, ruby installation etc etc).
6. You can then alter anything you want via that repo; then with a simple git push, the changes would be applied to your VM
ya, there is something here, but I can't put my finger on it. That's why I was thinking, offer the default code that we use to provision a box, and allow the user to customize it; then push it to git, let us take over and apply everything appropriately.

I think that is one of the issues, I don't have too many problems, that I haven't been able to solve via existing solutions, but I may have just not ventured out of my comfort zone enough. Shoot me an email [email protected], Id love to chat.
Short term goal, is to learn how to get people to pay me. Long term goal is to quit my job with in the next 1-5 years, and taking in my current salary from my own company.
