i realize http://www.opscode.com/chef/install/ is to quickly install a chef-client, however i want to embed something in our own installer that runs effectively runs chef-solo, without requiring chef software to be permanently installed.

That will allow you to download an omnibus installer for the client or server for each of the platforms that Opscode supports. It might save you some typing.

scott, any particular deployment scripts you are interested in?




Are these Chef scripts available to the public?  I would love to get my hands on them so I’m not reinventing the wheel J

Subject: [chef] standalone installer based on chef

 

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
