The vagrant bought some cooking tools and set up shop on the corner, now he's cookin'.

A simple way to test chef cookbooks, roles, bootstraps, knife plugins, anything you like.

Prerequisites

bundler - you really should already have this installed gem install bundler

virtualbox - it's what's for dinner https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Instructions

1. git clone git://github.com/agoddard/street-chef.git; cd street-chef

2. bundle install

3. librarian-chef install (this will install the opscode community cookbooks which the chef-server bootstrap will need)

4. vagrant up

5. Watch as your chef server is built and you get a few apps servers thrown in as tasty extras on the side.

Usage

All knife commands will work from the street-chef directory, except 'knife ssh' (still working on this) so vagrant ssh will have to do for now. When you're done, just vagrant destroy to shut down and delete the VMs.
