Vagrant-ChefConfig

This Vagrant plugin allows you to automatically configure all your Chef client provisioner blocks from your host's knife.rb. Just install the plugin and use the chef-client provisioners in Vagrant. That's it.

Installation

vagrant plugin install vagrant-chefconfig

Usage

In your Vagrantfile use the plugin like so:

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|
  config.vm.box = "precise64"
  config.vm.provision :chef_client do |chef|
    chef.node_name = 'vagrant-mydummytest'
    chef.run_list = [ 'recipe[dummy::fail]' ]
  end
end

The plugin will automatically configure the following Vagrant chef-client provisioner attributes from your knife.rb.

Vagrant chef-client attribute -> knife config attribute

Vagrant attribute name Knife attribute name
chef_server_url chef_server_url
log_level log_level
validation_key_path validation_key
environment vagrant_environment
encrypted_data_bag_secret_key_path encrypted_data_bag_secret

Values specified directly in the Vagrantfile override any configured values found in your knife configuration file.

Optional Configuration

By default the plugin will be enabled and the path to the knife.rb uses the standard Knife configuration loading mechanism. You can override this behavior using the following optional plugin configuration options:

  • chefconfig.enabled = false
  • chefconfig.knife_config_path = '/my/nonstandard/path/knife.rb'

Changelog
