[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Ideas on kickstarting a node and auto-applying a role

[Gilles Devaux < >]

Ouch, old thread, sorry.

What we have at peerpong is a very simple boot.sh sitting on the
image. You still have to log in, run boot.sh -> this registers the
node on the chef server. then go on the server UI, apply roles to the
new node.

I guess it would not be difficult to apply roles for the new machine
from boot.sh using knife though. Command line would look like
./boot.sh [database|app||...]

Might spend some time on that tomorrow actually :)
