Folks,

I've been doing some searching around, and I did discover the list of pre-requisites for Private Chef at <http://docs.opscode.com/server/private_chef_1x_install.html>, but I was curious to find out if there was a specific version of git that was required for use with Private Chef?

That might be out of date, but if not, you just need a version of git that can do `git rev-parse HEAD`.

 

There's nothing specific mentioned on the page, but for this deployment we're going into an environment where we won't have access to the outside world, and therefore it's really important to have all our pre-requisites fulfilled before we go.

For prod you're probably gonna deploy a cluster, but with the default config you can run a standalone install (similar to the OSS Chef 11 server). I'd recommend setting this up on a VM to prove things out (but keep in mind the cluster install needs drbd which needs a kernel module so make sure you have that around).

I would have asked this question to the folks helping to manage this contract, but there's a lot more Opscode folks on this list, as well as others who might also know the answer. ;-)

Thanks!
