[chef] Re: Genuinely automatic install of chef server

[Ranjib Dey < >]

i am currently using knife bootstrap to setup chef-server in aws for once of our client, it uses the same lucid template except some additional steps (mentioned in the manual installation doc) and skips the chef client run call

Hi all,

Having now coded my entire infrastructure, I am practicing installing it from scratch.

Ideally this should be all automatic (after all that is the point of chef) -  however I cant seem to install a chef-server automatically.

The instructions on the chef wiki mention 3 ways to install, but ALL involve manual steps.

For example, the debian way requires interactivity to setup, and then you need to run knife configure -i at the end.

The bootstrap method seems to be the same - there are manual steps. 

I know there is a chef-server cookbook, but then I have to have a chef-server already installed to install it (dont I?)

Can someone point me to a way of genuinely automatically installing chef-server, with no manual steps? (Other than say the initial command)

Thanks
