This is no longer needed if you choose to use an up to date 64bit Raspberry Pi OS. 64 bit arm is available for Chef so you can do a standard bootstrap it should work without anything fancy.
Chef doesn't offer a omnibus chef-client
for raspberry pi yet. Any minute now.
This knife bootstrap
script helps get around that by either building a chef omnibus from scratch or using a pre-build deb package using my chef_omnibus_build tool.
The raspbian_bootstrap.erb
uses an OPT
environent variable to provide provides different options to get ruby and chef.
OPT=prebuilt
Installs prebuild .deb package- Fast: Fast - uses my latest prebuilt chef
CHEF_URL=http://your_url_to/your_package.deb
- specify your own prebuilt chef package.
OPT=build
chef_omnibus_builder to build a ruby, omnibus-toolchain, and then a chef package.- Slow: Takes many hours.
- Note: Creates an
omnibus
user with a locked password for the build process.
Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/dayne/raspbian_bootstrap
cd raspbian_bootstrap
Bootstrap the pi:
knife bootstrap -t raspbian_bootstrap.erb \
--ssh-user pi --sudo PI_ADDRESS
Full build process by using OPT
:
OPT=build knife bootstrap -t raspbian_bootstrap.erb \
--ssh-user pi --sudo PI_ADDRESS
- Chef installed
- pi's clock will be synchronized using
ntpd
(network time protocol daemon). chef
package installed with chef tools in/opt/chef
