I am new to chef… Some questions/feedback for this page Configure the Command Line Client Should this line “First, create the ~/.chef directory and copy the required certificates created by the server.” Be changed to something like this: In this example we have logged in as the user “bob”. Where you see “bob” in the following examples replace it with your username. First, create the ~/.chef directory and copy the required certificates created by the server. <snip> sudo chown -R bob ~/.chef further down to this section “Create a Knife Client for Your Laptop/Desktop” Make sure you've configured knife on your chef server as described above before proceeding with this step. Create a private certificate that you will transfer to your Laptop/Desktop (Should the private cert be deleted after you have copied if to your laptop?) chef-server> knife client create bob -n -a -f /tmp/bob.pem INFO: Created (or updated) client[bob] i.e. change all references for “my-username” to “bob” Or, am I not understanding what is going on here… This section is not clear your-laptop > knife client list chef-webui my-username bob chef-validator Obviously by this stage your local workstation is communicating to the chef-server. It shows a client called bob and also my-username, if you worked through everything on this page shouldn’t you just have “bob” as the client? Is “bob” meant to be “bobs_workstation”? That would make “my-username” the local username I logged into my local workstation with… Craig |
