Hello,
I'm trying to use this cookbook in the following way:

  • have data_bags/ssh-keys.json like:
{
    "id": "postgres",
    "keys": [
        {
            "id": "key1",
            "pub": "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAA...",
            "priv": [
                "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----",
                "MIIEpAIBAAKCAQEAzeHP7DFJjeN...",
                "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
            ]
        }
    ],
    "id": "barman",
    "keys": [
        {
            "id": "key1",
            "pub": "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAA...",
            "priv": [
                "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----",
                "MIIEpAIBAAKCAQEAv2cqOH5o9x8zYvZ...",
                "-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
            ]
        }
    ]
}
  • have a db role with the following:
{
  "json_class": "Chef::Role",
  "name": "db",
  "description": "Database server facing trusted clients",
  "run_list": [
     ...
    "recipe[user-ssh-keys]",
  ],
  "default_attributes": {
    "user_ssh_keys": {
      "data_bag": "ssh_keys",
      "users": {
        "postgres": {
          "authorized_users": ["barman"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
  • similarly, a backup role:
{
  "json_class": "Chef::Role",
  "name": "backup",
  "description": "Barman Server to backup postgresql databases",
  "run_list": [
    ...
    "recipe[user-ssh-keys]",
    ...
  ],
    "user_ssh_keys": {
      "data_bag": "ssh_keys",
      "users": {
        "barman": {
          "authorized_users": ["postgres"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Now, when trying to provision backup role with vagrant provision backup, I get this error:
