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

[Ranjib Dey < >]

hi jordi,

this is pretty much the standard approach. In most cases chef server is also a chef client, and chef server installation mediated via chef-solo. It is a community wide practice (well tested, and well documented). You can expect the server setup process to be much lighter with  chef server 11 omnibus packages soon,

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,
