The knife-bootstrap-solo
branch of tmatilai's knife-solo fork has a proof
of concept implementation to integrate knife-solo
plugin to Opscode Chef's knife bootstrap command, which also plugins like
knife-ec2 internally use.
The branch adds "--solo" option to knife bootstrap which triggers knife solo bootstrap
for bootstrapping the node. Additionally all "solo bootstrap" options are available.
It is also possible to set the solo mode as a default by declaring knife[:solo] = true
in knife.rb. This is currently the only way with knife ec2 server create etc. without
monkey patching them, too. (See an earlier POC for that.)
The preferred method is to use Bundler. Add this to the Gemfile:
gem 'knife-solo',
:git => 'https://github.com/tmatilai/knife-solo.git',
:branch => 'knife-bootstrap-solo'
Then bundle exec knife bootstrap -h should list the "--solo" option.
You can prepare a directory for knife-solo usage by bundle exec knife solo init.
See the home page for more information.
The branch is subject to be rebased on top of master every now and then. Please inform me if that is a problem.
Any comments are welcome here or in this issue.
