After experimenting with the chef on linux, I am now trying to do this in a Windows environment. Therefore, my first goal:
- Setting up a chef on a local Windows machine
- Write a simple recipe to install a Windows package through chef-solo
I am stuck at point 2 since I could not set any cookies for Windows. Perhaps I do not know how to use this on a Windows platform. So I hope someone here catches my mistake.
What I've done:
- Download Windows cookbooks from
opscode-windows-cookbooks .
- I copied the cookbooks to my cookbook folder.
- Edited default.rb, available in the Windows-Master folder, adding code to install PuTTY
- Created a testrole.json file with the contents:
{"run_list": ["recipe [windows-master]"]}
- Created a solo.rb file with the contents:
cookbook_path "C: / chef / chef-repo / cookbooks"
Now when I run the command in the cmd window. Below is the resultC:\chef\chef-repo>chef-solo -c solo.rb -j testrole.json
Starting Chef Client, version 11.10.0

Thanks in advance.
