# Overview
Chef repo template ready to use with knife-zero.
Read tutorial - [Provisioning remote server accessible by SSH with Chef and knife-zero](https://gist.github.com/maxivak/75eabc7ff292dd86c07ddc95add75953).
Directory structure:
* berks-cookbooks — Chef cookbooks managed by Berkshelf
* site-cookbooks - custom cookbooks
* data_bags — Chef Data Bags
* nodes — Chef nodes (folder with roles for each machine)
* roles — Chef roles (role is a group of recipes and additional attributes)
* environments— Chef environments
# Quick start
* edit Berfkshelf
include external cookbooks
* install external cookbooks using Berkshelf
```
berks install
```
* add roles for your servers
example `roles/myrole.json`:
```
{
"name": "myrole",
"description": "my sample role",
"json_class": "Chef::Role",
"default_attributes": {
"var1": "some-value-1"
},
"run_list": [
"recipe[chef-cookbook-example-1]",
"recipe[temp1]"
]
}
```
specify the list of recipes to run and default attributes.
* bootstrap the server (one time)
```
knife zero bootstrap 11.22.33.44 --ssh-user ubuntu --ssh-password mypass --node-name mynode1
```
it will create file nodes/mynode1.json with server attributes.
* server attributes
if you have additional attributes for this server - use attributes file (see example servers/myserver.json).
* run provision with attributes
```
knife zero converge "name:mynode1" --ssh-user root --ssh-password root --json-attributes servers/myserver.json --override-runlist "role[myrole]"
```
it will run all recipes specified in role file 'roles/myrole.json'.
Attributes in file `servers/myserver.json` will override default attributes specified in role.
see more options for knife zero converge [here](http://knife-zero.github.io/20_getting_started/).
# Cookbooks
* add custom cookbook
```
cd site-cookbooks
chef generate cookbook example1
```
it will create a new folder `site-cookbooks/example1` with cookbook.
# Roles
* add roles to roles/ folder
# Attributes
* attributes for servers
* place in folder /servers
