[chef] Re: passing attributes to recipes

[Max Gorbul < >]

Of course you can override attributes per role/environment.

there are sever ways to manage those things

1. files

2. knife

3. chef server web ui

I prefer the first one. Because all your changes are being tracked by git.

Thank you,

Hello,

 

 

I’m relatively new to chef and I try to figure out, how to pass variable attributes like build file names or build numbers to chef recipes. So the best would be if I could add/overwrite a given attribute in a role/environment by it to knife via command line like: knife environment edit [env_name] “attribute_key=attribute_value”.

 

Is there a recommended way of doing that?

 

Thanks in advance,

Steffen
