shutit-chef-env

A complete Chef environment in Vagrant.

Includes:

• Chef server
• Chef workstation
• Chef node
• Certificate setup
• Client setup (knife, chef-client etc)

Why?

This can be used for a number of reasons:

• to demonstrate how a Chef infrastructure works
• to work on chef recipes while offline
• as a training tool for Chef newbies
• to test Chef code that depends on a Chef server being available

When I started Chef I tried in vain to find good docs on how to set up my own Chef environment. I could have used something like this.

Works and tested on:

• Mac OSx
• Linux

• Virtualbox
• Vagrant
