[chef] Re: Chef support for arm?

[Ranjib Dey < >]

Chef bootstrap uses platform based installation logic for omnibus installers, which is not available for arm. But chef works fine on arm. You have to install it just like any other ruby gem. I am using it mostly with 2.1.0 and chef 12, on raspbian and ubuntu (trusty). So these combinations works for sure.

I am trying to bootstrap an Pandaboard running Ubuntu 14.04.  

Specifically I am running the following
knife bootstrap <hostname> --sudo -x <login> -i <key> -r 'role[base]' --secret-file /etc/chef/encrypted_data_bag_secret

but I am getting the following error.  I have tried setting the chef version to both 11 and 12 but same error.   My guess is that there is no m=armv7l defined but I am not sure where a list of supported architectures for Chef is.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

 Either this means:
    - We do not support ubuntu
    - We do not have an artifact for 11
