Subcommands
This plugin provides the following Knife subcommands. Specific command options
can be found by invoking the subcommand with a --help
flag.
knife container docker init
Initializes a new folder that will hold all the files and folders necessary to build a Docker image called a “Docker context.” This files and folders that can make up your Docker context include a Dockerfile, Berksfile, cookbooks and chef-client configuration files.
knife container docker build
Builds a Docker image based on the Docker context specified. If the image was
initialized using the -z
flag and a Berksfile exists, it will run berks vendor
and vendor the required cookbooks into the required directory. If the image was
initialized without the -z
flag and a Berksfile exists, it will run
berks upload
and upload the required cookbooks to you Chef Server.
