Chef Server API client written in Clojure.

clj-spoon

Chef Server API client written in Clojure.

Usage

When using the lein repl a default environment is set up based on your current username and home directory. These can be overriden using environment variables (CHEF_SERVER_HOST, CHEF_CLIENT_NAME and CHEF_CLIENT_KEY).

user=> (println *client-config*)
{:chef-host manage.chef.io, :client-name jbellone, :client-key /Users/jbellone/.chef/jbellone.pem}
nil

If you have an on-premises Chef Server you are going to need to override the client information. For example, let's assume that the Chef Server API that we're operating on is located at chef.internal.corporate.com. We are able to override the host in three ways:

1. Set the environment variable CHEF_SERVER_HOST prior to running the lein repl command.
2. Set the :chef-server-host in our Clojure development profile.
3. Use the Clojure macro with-chef-server which overrides only the :chef-server-host key in the client-info object.
