If the entire thing is plain text use cookbook_file instead of template.

Have a rails database.yml installed via chef:

encoding: utf8

reconnect: false

database: gitlabhq_production

pool: 5

username: <%= ENV['PROD_DB_USER'] %>

password: <%= ENV['PROD_DB_PASSWORD'] %>

I want to to look like this when it's installed - but Chef is

rendering the ENV vars during the install.

I'd rather not have that done - just like to use the ENV variables the

whole time.

I'd really like chef to just install this - treat is as a text file

and just install. Is that possible?

Any tips? I've looked through the Chef and Erubis docs as well as done

lots of Googling.
