Demo - Bootstrapping Chef Client

#1

Hello,

I request you to please mention 2-3 types of ways to setup a chef-client. I am new and seeing you are using .pem file for installation chef client.

But take a different example like me I am using a virtual machine not a hosting server. In this case, I will use only SSH option…I have setup login workstation or client without password but still, I am not able to install the chef agent.

So I request you to take multiple examples so we can take instance help without more delay. I have sent the email but your team told me the right query here. Why they can’t answer the email.

Command I have used:

knife bootstrap 192.168.0.102 -N client.example.com -U osboxes -i /home/osboxes/id_rsa --sudo

knife bootstrap 192.168.0.102 -N client.example.com --ssh-user osboxes --sudo --ssh-identity-file /home/osboxes/.ssh/authorized_keys

knife bootstrap 192.168.0.102 -N client.example.com --ssh-user osboxes --sudo -i /home/osboxes/id.pem

knife bootstrap 192.168.0.102 -N client.example.com --ssh-user osboxes --sudo --ssh-identity-file /home/osboxes/key.pem
