I would check out https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-chef-server. The OSS Chef Server installer uses Chef Solo internally to configure itself and its embedded services (nginx, postgresql, etc.). Once you take a deeper dive into that repo you'll see it's actually pretty straightforward to set up your own omnibus installer and pattern it after the way chef server does it.

we have all these nice chef scripts to do deployments.

and then sometimes we do installation at a client that does not have a chef server, and we end up writing a little bash script to do the install. that sucks.

would there be a way to embed the chef cookbooks and perhaps chef-solo in a tarball and base a standalone installer on that? would be a very nice way to re-use chef scripts
