Chef-DK Cookbook

A cookbook for installing the Chef Development Kit.

Requirements

A RHEL/CentOS/etc. 6, Ubuntu 12.04/13.10, or OS X 10.9.x node.

This cookbook consumes the dmg cookbook in order to support OS X installs.

Usage

This cookbook can be implemented either by calling its resource directly, or adding the recipe that wraps it to your run_list.

Recipes

default

Calls the chef_dk resource to do a package install

Attributes

default

Attributes are provided to allow overriding of the package version or URL the default recipe installs:

default['chef_dk']['version'] = 'latest'
default['chef_dk']['package_url'] = nil

Resources

chef_dk

Wraps the fetching of the package file from S3 and the package installation into a single resource:

chef_dk '<A RESOURCE NAME>' do
    version '1.2.3-4'
    package_url 'http://here.is.the/package/url'
    action :install
end

• version - An optional version to install (default is 'latest')
• package_url - An optional override package URL (default is determined at run time based on the OS and desired version)
• action - Action to perform (default is :install, also supports :uninstall)

Note: A version and package_url cannot be used together
