Usage

taskwarrior::default

Installs the taskwarrior client that can work standalone, just add it to your run_list. You can choose to install from the repositories, or to build from source. Just set the ["taskwarrior"]["install_method"] to "source", like so.

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[taskwarrior]"
  ]
  "override_attrubutes": {
    "taskwarrior": {
      "install_method": "source"
    }
  }
}

taskwarrior::server

Builds and installs the taskwarrior service daemon (taskd) and sets up supervising with runit. Check the taskwarrior wiki pages for operation, setup amd ciphers

Add the following to you users data bag.

{
  "id": "bob",
  "taskwarrior": {
    "organization": "Public",
    "groups": ["groupA", "groupB"]
  }
}

This will generate client keys and the taskd user and its Uuid for bob. The key distrubution at the moment is done by hand so you need to get them from the key directory.
