[chef] Re: server and client on the same node

[Torben Knerr < >]

Hi Jordi,

you may want to try out the knife-server plugin for this. It worked quite well for me:

http://fnichol.github.com/knife-server/

It sets up a chef server and afaicr also registers itself as a chef client (your points 2) & 3))

Once it is up and running, you can upload your chef repo using `rake install` from within your chef repo (point 1))

Cheers,

Torben

Hi,

I am planning an infrastructure in which the server will be a client-node.

My plan is:

1) Bootstrap a server with chef-solo and my chef-repo (cookbooks, roles and databags).

2) Setup the server with my chef-repo from a workstation

3) Turn the chef-server into a node with chef-server cookbook

Anyone has experience on that? Is a best practice?

Thanks,
