Mash

Mash is automation for setting up a basic chef-server install. I created it because setting up chef-server can be a pain in the ass if you're say using an Ubuntu LTS release and don't want to use chef-server packages that are forever and a day old.

Prerequisites

Right now, Mash only supports Ubuntu.

The user configured in config/mash.yml must have password-less sudo privileges.

Installing

Setting up Mash on your server is pretty simple!

• Clone it

git clone git://github.com/wfarr/mash.git

• Install the dependencies

gem install bundler
bundle install

• Update the config files

cp config/mash.yml.example config/mash.yml
vim config/mash.yml

• Go!

cap cowboy bootstrap

• Confirm?

knife client list
# success!
