Knife::Director

This gem provides wrappers for knife bootstrap or knife zero and so on.

Add this line to your Gemfile:

gem 'knife-director'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install knife-director

# Linux host
knife director bootstrap linux $target -E $env

# Windows host
knife director bootstrap windows $target -E $env

$OS can be linux or windows.

It wraps knife bootstrap or knife bootstrap windows winrm. You can't omit -E (--environment) option.

You need not specify -N (--node-name) option since it sets FQDN as the node name, but you can do it to explicitly specify.

It automatically passes --bootstrap-template option to them. Prepare .chef/bootstrap/{linux,windows}.erb or pass -t __no_template__ to disable template.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
