chef361: No you didn't, Chef Server doesn't have Fedora packages

@coderanger

since i installed the RHEL packages, would that not be compatible with fedora then?

Unless you used the ones from RHEL

i did

I wouldn't say "incompatible", but definitely untested

If you used the EL7 ones, it should work with Fedora's systemd

but it's not a platform we test on, good enough for learning, but for prod use CentOS

Next issue, commands not being found :)

Did you add the shell-init bit to your bashrv?

er bashrc

Run those, that will set up your PATH so the commands work

so i did the zsh options since im running zsh (echo 'eval "$(chef shell-init zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc)

and it didnt error out

but when i did which ruby

it still pointed to /usr/bin/ruby

Did you start a new shell?

yea

so i did and it show up as zsh: chef command not found and then the shell prompt

chef361: If you run /opt/chefdk/bin/chef does it work?

nope states that there is no such file or directory

Whats in /opt?

Might chef-dk

I forget

so inside of opt

is opscode

then went in there

/opt/opscode is chef-server

Sure, that's not related to chefdk though

Also you generally don't install Chef Server on your workstation

Can I set attributes within a ruby block?

er, ruby_block resource rather

Majost: Sure, but it usually doesn't do much good.

coderanger, I need to parse a json file, but I want to put an only_if guard to run the block only when the file exists.

Remember it will only happen at converge time

Thats perfect.

So you'll need to be very careful with how you use the data

well. hrmm

maybe

trying to wrap the supermarket.json values in a way the supermarket-omnibus-cookbook can use them automagically.

so coderanger within opscode

it had had binaries for chef-shell, chef-solo, chef-server-ctl, knife,ohai,chef-apply and chef client

chef361: That's part of Chef Server, don't touch em

gotcha

so what else can i do atm

Install ChefDK

@coderanger lolololol literally installed chefdk via rpm and it worked lololol

thanks for the help~!

exut

is there a way to get things like IP address from other provisioned machines in chef-provision run? like, let's say I want to provision a db and a webserver, provision the db first, and then set an attribute on the webserver corresponding to the provisioned database ip.
