DESCRIPTION
Chef Solo allows you to run Chef Cookbooks in the absence of a Chef Server. To do this, the complete cookbook needs to be present on disk.
By default Chef Solo will look in /etc/chef/solo.rb for its configuration. This configuration file has two required variables:
file_cache_path and cookbook_path.
For example:
file_cache_path "/var/chef-solo"
cookbook_path "/var/chef-solo/cookbooks"
For your own systems, you can change this to reflect any directory you like, but you'll need to specify absolute paths and the cook-
book_path directory should be a subdirectory of the file_cache_path.
You can also specify cookbook_path as an array, passing multiple locations to search for cookbooks.
For example:
file_cache_path "/var/chef-solo"
cookbook_path ["/var/chef-solo/cookbooks", "/var/chef-solo/site-cookbooks"]
Note that earlier entries are now overridden by later ones.
Since chef-solo doesn't have any interaction with a Chef Server, you'll need to specify node-specifc attributes in a JSON file. This can be
located on the target system itself, or it can be stored on a remote server such as S3, or a web server on your network.
Within the JSON file, you'll also specify the recipes that Chef should run in the "run_list". An example JSON file, which sets a
resolv.conf:
{
"resolver": {
"nameservers": [ "10.0.0.1" ],
"search":"int.example.com"
},
"run_list": [ "recipe[resolver]" ]
}
Then you can run chef-solo with -j to specify the JSON file. It will look for cookbooks in the cookbook_path configured in the configura-
tion file, and apply attributes and use the run_list from the JSON file specified.
You can use -c to specify the path to the configuration file (if you don't want chef-solo to use the default). You can also specify -r for
a cookbook tarball.
For example:
chef-solo -c ~/solo.rb -j ~/node.json -r http://www.example.com/chef-solo.tar.gz
In the above case, chef-solo would extract the tarball to your specified cookbook_path, use ~/solo.rb as the configuration file, and apply
attributes and use the run_list from ~/node.json.
