chef_solo

I am new to Vagrant. I am trying to get a suitable developement envirement in order to create a symfony project but for some reason, I can't seem to get this working. What ever machine i build i always get stuck at the "SSH auth method: private key" line.

I made a lot of reading in the past 2 days and this problem seems to happend for various reasons. I tryed everything on satck overflow but just can't seem to pin point what is causing my setup to fail.

I am on my laptop that has windows 10. I have VirtualBox 6.0.8 and Vagrant 2.2.4.

I tryed 4 diffrent boxes including one I builded using Chef and a more generic box that suposidly would work (hashicorp/precise64)

So I am confident the problem is somewhere else that in the vagrantfile.

I have virtualization active in my BIOS ... cheked twice.

I tryed using the git console, the windows cmd with and without admin permission as well as powershell (Just in case) and got the same result.

ssh-config says the following:

error: Error executing action `install` on resource 'windows_feature[AD-Domain-Services]' ^ this happens on all windows features when installing them via windows_feature resource on windows server 2016.

Chef version:

I'm writing a wrapper cookbook for nexus3 wherein I override the default attributes like so in the attributes/default.rb file of my cookbook

I'm getting insecure platform and sni missing warnings while running pip install. I've been trying to follow the instructions suggested in the error messages below without luck:

I wrote up a small Vagrant file & Chef cookbook to demonstrate the issue and maybe get some help. The warnings show up before every install of a pip package. I've also tried various combos of pip install options and varying the version pip (8.1.2 vs 9.0.1). Any help appreciated.

Requirements: Vagrant and VirtualBox

To Run: vagrant up

UPDATE:: Found this thread https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4098

Turns out pip 9.0.1 doesn't play nice due to libs that come bundled with it. Also, install ndg-httpsclient rather than urllib3 and/or requests. The apt packages mentioned in the user-guide are not required, and no need to build from scratch, you can use wheels. Once ndg-httpsclient is installed the warnings go away and additional pip installs go smoothly. I also have a version of this where I bootstrap pip with the apt python-pip package that works. (I'll post it if anyone is interested.) Apt installs pip v1.5.4 initially. The script then updates to pip 8.1.2 and proceeds similarly to the code below. Just requires removing the "--disable-pip-version-check" option when upgrading pip.

Vagrantfile:

I have a windows_package resource that installs jdk 8 on a windows machine and it looks like this:

I want to test my cookbooks on different environments using Vagrant.

As I've found, there are chef-client and chef-solo provisioners, used to respectively download cookbooks from chef-server and to serve cookbooks locally.

I want to provide Vagrantifle inside each cookbook in order to provide way to test it for all knife developers. If cookbook was standalone, I'd just use chef-solo provisioner, but what if it has (multiple) dependencies of cookbooks stored on chef-server?

What's the best idea to resolve this problem:

1. Download all cookbooks locally and copy it to Vagrant
2. Push only tested cookbook and download rest of them from chef-server

What are advantages and disadvantages? How should I test my cookbooks on different systems?

With the following software versions installed: Berkshelf - 2.0.18 Ruby - 2.2.2 Vagrant - 1.9.3 test-kitchen - 1.15.0 kitchen-vagrant - 1.1.0 Chef Server API version - 11.0.2

I am attempting to run test kitchen on my local system. In doing so, I have a berksfile that points to a chef_api :config with a single recipe apt

I'm stumped. I want to change the cache location. The default is in the user profile temp folder; it makes for a VERY long path on Windows. I have looked over all the docs; and I can't seem to figure this out.

Here I see that I can specify client.rb settings on the chef-solo provisioner. and here I see that the cache path is a setting in the client.rb specified by cache_path. This leads me to believe that I should be able to:

I have created some cookbooks in a repository which are executed in instances in AWS. I manually create an EBS volume in AWS at location dev/xvdb and then mount it using the following chef code:
