I've downloaded a number of cookbooks from the opscode site using the command: knife cookbook site install git for example. However now I would like to download a cookbook from a repository on github into my current cookbooks directory. How should I go about doing this? should I just clone the repository into my cookbooks directory? Thank you! You coould install the knife github plugin from https://github.com/websterclay/knife-github-cookbooks , after which you could simply use knife cookbook github install cookbooks/yum to install yum from https://github.com/cookbooks/yum . However, I would

Now, my problem is that if I bootstrap the machine using knife ec2 and try to install everything in one go, it fails. For the most part it works well, picking up RVM and Passenger nicely, until the point when it realizes Passenger is not compiled, tries to do it using rake from default ruby 1.9.1 and fails. If I then connect to the machine and run sudo chef-client , everything finishes beautifully and I have

I'm new to chef, and I'm trying to interprete the documentation. I've added the opscode postgresql recipe to my chef-solo environment. postgresql seems to install and launch just fine, but unfortunately I can't log in to the server, rendering it pretty much unusable. The documentation mentions this: The following node attribute is stored on the Chef Server when using chef-client. Because chef-solo does not connect to a server or save the node object at all, to have the password persist across chef-solo runs, you must specify them in the json_attribs file used. For Example: { "postgresql": {

So this might be a little confusing but bear with me. In short I want to loop over all attributes with a certain key value and then insert them into a template if the values are not empty. Here is my code: ATTRIBUTES: # === Default file Configurations # default['elasticsearch']['default']['ES_USER'] = '' default['elasticsearch']['default']['ES_GROUP'] = '' default['elasticsearch']['default']['ES_HEAP_SIZE'] = '' default['elasticsearch']['default']['MAX_OPEN_FILES'] = '' default['elasticsearch']['default']['MAX_LOCKED_MEMORY'] = 'unlimited' default['elasticsearch']['default']['MAX_MAP_COUNT'] =

I'd like to use Ruby 2.0 on Amazon OpsWorks, so I'm trying the following: Choose custom cookbooks and set them to my fork of https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks Update all version numbers here https://github.com/aws/opsworks-cookbooks/blob/master/ruby/attributes/ruby.rb to 2.0 values. This doesn't seem to have any effect, though. Do custom cookbooks override their built in counterparts? Does OpsWorks use the Ruby recipe from the cookbook for basic Ruby setup? The same question applies to Nginx too - can I control versions and settings by changing my fork for the cookbooks? OpsWorks now
