[chef] Re: Is Berkshelf vagrant plugin are usable only with a application cookbooks instead of pure site cookbooks ?

[Eduardo Dias < >]

Vladimir,

we use Vagrant + Virtual Box + Berkshelf in the developers machines (windows7 & Ubuntu) to test the cookbook before commit it in the repository. My Linux Ubuntu 12.04 I used the configuration below:

Install RVM:

For a Multi-User install you would execute the following:

curl --proxy http://web-proxy.corp.hp.com:8080 -L https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable

Reload your profile:

source /etc/profile or source ~/.profile

Install and select the appropriated Ruby version:

rvm install 1.9.3

rvm use 1.9.3 --default

Install required gems:

gem install berkshelf

gem install chef

gem install minitest-chef-handler

gem install rest-client

Install Vagrant:

wget http://files.vagrantup.com/packages/7e400d00a3c5a0fdf2809c8b5001a035415a607b/vagrant_1.2.2_x86_64.deb

sudo dpkg -i vagrant_1.2.2_x86_64.deb

Configure Vagrant plugins:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf

vagrant plugin install rest-client

vagrant plugin install vagrant-proxyconf (only if you need a proxy)

Install VirtualBox:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox

Create a file named config.json in ~/.berkshelf:

{

  "ssl": {

    "verify": false

  }

}

Good Lucky.

Now I suppose to use Berks and reading documentation at off site.

Most important information on off site wiki is to use vagrant berks plugin.

I was never used vagrant, but I want to use recently (near future).


Is Berkshelf vagrant plugin are usable with a application cookbooks instead of pure site cookbooks (Is I'am right)?

I cannot undertsand how they are related ?

Vagrant do a provision, Berks do a manipulation with cookbooks, download it from anywhere and puts in configured directory.

What else it does ?
