chake

Simple host management with chef and rake. No chef server required.

Installation

$ gem install chake

Usage

Require chake on your Rakefile:

require 'chake'

Initializing the repository:

$ rake init

Important files that are generated:

config.rb
nodes.yaml
config/
config/roles/
cookbooks/
cookbooks/myhost/
cookbooks/myhost/recipes/
cookbooks/myhost/recipes/default.rb

• nodes.yaml, where you will list the hosts you will be managing.
• a cookbooks directory where you will store your cookbooks. A sample cookbook called "myhost" is created, but feel free to remove it and add actual cookbooks.

Sample nodes.yaml:

host1.mycompany.com:
    run_list:
        - recipe[common]
        - recipe[webserver]
host2.mycompany.com:
    run_list:
        - recipe[common]
        - recipe[mailserver]

Check the output of rake -T to see what else you can do.
