[chef] customizing bootstrap

["Malli Pulla Reddy" < >]

Hi Chefs!

 

Objective: Avoid going out to internet for downloading chef-client rpm everytime I bootstrap a machine.

 

Approach followed:

1. Copied install.sh to locally hosted http server

2. Edited chef-full.erb to point it to install.sh from my http server

3. Edited install.sh to point chef-client rpm that is on my http server

 

Result:

 

:~/chefser12work/chef-repo$ sudo knife bootstrap 192.168.0.15 -sudo -x root -P wc5ack3 --distro test
