Re: line 7 and line 11 (tmux and git), please don't install anything other than the chef-server. Install 100% of the other packages via chef itself.

There is a "chef server omnibus installer" bootstrap script from opscode that you should use to install chef server on the base image, your bootstrap script should not be installing ruby or anything itself - the opscode omnibus installer handles 100% of that for you.

Also: you never install berkshelf or any of that on the server. That's all clientside stuff to be used with knife.
