Chef-server demo

Overview

Welcome to the Chef 11 Server Preview! This preview includes erchef, the new Chef API server written in Erlang.

This repository provides a Vagrantfile and installation cookbooks to set up a self-contained vm running a complete Chef server environment for your demo pleasure.

NOTE: This is a PREVIEW release. DO NOT RUN IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.

Setting it up

In order to get started, you need to have a copy of the latest omnibus generated preview .deb for chef-server. You can get this here. Then follow these steps:

  1. Install VirtualBox (exercise left to the reader). Next, install the required gems using bundler. Execute the following commands from inside the chef-server-demo directory.

    # install bundler if you don't already have it
which bundle || gem install bundler

# install the gems needed for chef-server-demo
bundle install --binstubs

  2. Copy the Chef server .deb file into the pkg sub-directory:

    curl -O $URL_FOR_CHEF_SERVER_DEB
mv CHEF_SERVER.deb pkg/

  3. Export environment variable OSC_INSTALLER, setting it to point at the omnibus installer .deb and provision your erchef powered Chef server:

    export OSC_INSTALLER=pkg/CHEF_SERVER.deb
bin/vagrant up

Test Drive Time

You can log into your Chef server demo vm like this:

bin/vagrant ssh

You can add the vagrant keys to your SSH config to scp files out of the VM.

The open-source-demo::default recipe will have created a $HOME/.chef/knife.rb for you so that you can start issuing knife commands right away:

knife client list
export EDITOR=vi
knife node create
knife node list

The recipe also sets the PATH to include the command line tools for the versions of postgres, rabbit, and erlang supplied in the omnibus installer .deb. To get an overview of the Chef server system status try this:

sudo chef-server-ctl status

Controlling the server

There is a single init.d style control script chef-server-ctl which controls all daemons used by the chef-server. This also provides the ability to tail all the logs produced by the individual services. Use sudo or a root shell when using chef-server-ctl.

sudo chef-server-ctl  help
