Configuration for Chef solo + Knife solo + Berkshelf tools

Chef solo, knife solo and Berkshelf startup configuration

This repo contains a configuration for Chef solo + Knife solo + Berkshelf tools for setting up and provisioning servers.

Running for a node

$ knife solo prepare -p 22 username@host
$ vim nodes/host.json
# Fill in like nodes/localhost.json
$ knife solo cook -p 22 username@host

(Possible) steps to reproduce

$ gem install berkshelf
$ gem install knife-solo
$ knife solo init
# Some knife solo output. It should be using Berkshelf
$ mkdir site-cookbooks
$ knife cookbook create my_app -o site-cookbooks

Then edit the following files inside the site-cookbooks/my_app folder:

1. metadata.rb - add dependencies.
2. recipes/default.rb - create recipes for the cookbook. May use custom attributes.
3. attributes/default.rb - default attributes overrides.

When the cookbook is ready, add the cookbooks to the Berkshelf file.
