Installing mysql using chef-solo

Question

I have a VM to train myself with chef solo. Installed it and configured a kitchen. Configured my own VM as the only node in the kitchen. Used Librarian to download the mysql cookbook and updated the runlist.

What is the command to use - to install the mysql on my node?

Thanks, Liora

Answer 1

You can use the following command :

chef-solo -j JSON_ATTRIBS -c CONFIG

here

• JSON_ATTRIB is the json data for the VM configuration
• CONFIG is the configuration file which contains the runlist to be run on the VM
