compact_resource required for bootstrap chef_solo installation

[quike]

Hi,

Please update the https://github.com/chef-cookbooks/chef-server#bootstrap-chef-server-with-chef-solo guide with required missing cookbook compact_resource. Installation fails without it.

Cookbook version

v5.1.0

Chef-client version

[vagrant@localhost ~]$ chef-client -v
Chef: 12.14.60

Platform Details

Centos 7 using Atlas box centos/7 (vagrant init centos/7)

Scenario:

Trying to install chef-server cookbook following the installation methods. The guide shows some dependencies to be installed, but required compat_resource cookbook is missing.

# pull down dependency cookbooks
for dep in chef-ingredient yum-chef yum apt-chef apt packagecloud
do
  wget -qO- https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/${dep}/download | sudo tar xvzC /var/chef/cookbooks
done

Steps to Reproduce:

Follow the Bootstrap Chef (server) with Chef (solo) install method

Expected Result:

Chef Server up and running.

...
  * chef_ingredient[chef-server] action reconfigure
    * chef_ingredient_ingredient_config[chef-server] action render
      * directory[/etc/opscode] action create (up to date)
      * file[/etc/opscode/chef-server.rb] action create (up to date)
       (up to date)
    * execute[chef-server-core-reconfigure] action run
      - execute chef-server-ctl reconfigure
