[chef] Re: Push jobs - chef 11.0?

[Mark Mzyk < >]

Hi Rafal,

Push Jobs does not work with Open Source Chef Server 11. You need either Enterprise Chef or Chef Server 12. It relies on the ACL system that was open sourced with Chef Sever 12. Also, the install command was introduced with Chef Server 12, which is why it's not showing on your system. So the long story short  is that you'll need to upgrade.

Push Jobs is also open source and not a premium feature. You can use it for as many nodes as you'd like free of charge.  That banner should not be on that page and I'll see that it gets removed.

Push Jobs is supported and still being developed against. I'm not sure about the package question, so I'll have to defer to one of the other developers whom I'll ask to jump in this thread and answer the question.

Thanks,

Mark Mzyk

Hi All :)

I am trying to setup/test chef push jobs but:

- on "push server":

  - I cannot install push jobs, according to https://docs.chef.io/install_push_jobs.html I should use "chef-server-ctl install ..." command but:

chef-server-ctl install

I don't know that command.

/opt/chef-server/embedded/bin/omnibus-ctl: command (subcommand)

...

- on "push clients":

  - I see ubuntu packages only up to 12.04 (http://downloads.chef.io/push-jobs-client/ubuntu/#/) and centos/rhel packages only up to 6.

Is "push jobs" a supported/currently developed feature? 

Also on https://docs.chef.io/install_push_jobs.html it is also not totally clear if it is free or not. I understand that based on:

"

This is a premium feature of Chef. Access to premium features is free (up to 25 nodes) when the Chef server is installed on-premises. For higher node counts, access is available via subscription. Premium features are installed from the command line.

"

it is only free for up to 25 nodes per chef server?

Any alternatives to push jobs?

BR,

Rafal.
