Steffen,

Here's and example of how we do it in Jenkins.  It's worked out wondrously.

if you run chef-client out of the chefdk path, doesn't chef_gem install  

into the embedded ruby?

something like:

#!/opt/chefdk/bin/chef-apply

chef_gem "kitchen-docker"

that might go into the ~/.chefdk directory of the user installing it  

though so might not be ideal if you run it as root (not sure...)

The simplest thing you can do is add the `--no-user` option to the install, which will install to the embedded gem path instead of the user gem path. It does feel a bit wrong, but we haven’t observed any issues doing this with chef-client omnibus installs so it should be okay.
