Super rough initial stab at chefenv, sort of like rbenv for users of Chef.
If you interact with a number of different Chef servers in a given day, this is for you! In particular, I have been using this model for years now and never got around to codifying it until now. It lets you do something like the following:
set -x CHEF_ENV devserver
knife node list
knife role list
And in another terminal say:
set -x CHEF_ENV prodserver
knife role edit web_server
And interact with multiple servers simultaneously without having to monkey with config file flags or other things.
- Install
- chefenv init
- chefenv create envname
- export CHEF_ENV=envname
- knife role list (or whatever)
Right now, nothing. It works but it's still ugly. However I wanted to get something pushed up so this is where we are. Think of this as v0.0.1
In the end, I would like for this to manage all your knife/chef-client preferences for workstations but also be able to do things like manage the version of the Chef client you are using (probably via RVM or similar mechanism)
