knife_boootstrap.md

The following will bootstrap a new chef node:

knife bootstrap <ip> -i <key> --ssh-user <ssh_user> --sudo -E <environment> --run-list 'recipe[<recipe_name>]' -N <node_name>

where:

• ip is the ip of the machine to bootstrap;
• key is the ssh key used to connect to the machine;
• environment is the environment type, i.e. staging;
• recipe_name is the recipe name to use;
• node_name is the name of the node.

To undo the previous just execute:

knife node delete --yes <node_name>
knife client delete --yes <node_name>
