Evil Chef is a library that allows running Chef as a library from other applications.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'evil-chef'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install evil-chef
Require the library, instanciate a runner objet, then use the recipe_eval or manage_resource methods. E.g.:
require 'evil-chef'
chef_runner = EvilChef::Runner.new
chef_runner.recipe_eval do
package "ntp"
service "ntp" do
action [:start, :enable]
end
end
chef_runner.manage_resource(:service, "cups", :disable)
The Runner object will run Ohai when initializing, so init is a little slow. The runner objet also keeps the state of the node object between recipe runs, accessible via the node attribute.
