Install Chef (chef-client, chef-solo, knife)

Use knife-solo

Use Berkshelf

  • generate application cookbook using Berkshelf
  • add gem 'knife-solo' to generated Gemfile
  • create .chef/knife.rb and add role_path "roles", otherwise knife-solo won't copy roles to a server
  • use 'bundle exec knife solo' for all knife-solo commands
