knife-supermarket

This Knife Plugin is an easy way to switch between various supermarkets, the biggest of them being the Chef Community Site, located at https://supermarket.getchef.com. The knife supermarket commands mimic the knife cookbook site commands and work the same way.

Installation

If you are running Chef-DK you can install it by running:

$ chef gem install knife-supermarket

Otherwise, this plugin is distributed as a Ruby Gem. To install it, run:

$ gem install knife-supermarket

Depending on your system's configuration, you may need to run this command with root privileges.

Configuration

Out of the box, knife-supermarket is configured to point at https://supermarket.getchef.com, but it can be configured to point at a supermarket that isn't the official one. To do this you can do this a few ways:

On The Command Line

When using the knife supermarket commands you can specify a --supermarket-site or -m flag and specify the uri of the new supermarket. So, for example, if your supermarket was hosted at https://franchise.somecompany.com you could run knife supermarket install --supermarket-site https://franchise.somecompany.com mysql.

`knife.rb` Configuration

It may be preferable to use have this setting default to another host. For that, we can set the knife[:supermarket_site] setting in our knife.rb. So if we wanted to default to a supermarket hosted at https://franchise.somecompany.com it would be:

knife[:supermarket_site] = 'https://franchise.somecompany.com'

Now when you run knife supermarket install mysql it will install the mysql cookbook from https://franchise.somecompany.com.
