Cannot upload cookbooks to newly instantiated OSS server

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi,

I’ve just installed an OSS Chef Server inside a VPC in AWS. I’m all set up and I can query the server from my workstation with knife just fine.

The problem is when I try to upload my cookbooks to the Chef server through Berkshelf. This is what I get:

role upload, node list .. those operations works..
bookshelf[:url] needs to be set explicitly in /etc/chef-server/server.rb if
you are one ec2, they pick up the internal hostname, which only breaks
cookbook upload,

Cassiano,

This is a common problem with the out-of-the-box OSS chef-server config
when the server has a well-known IP address but not a public DNS name.

Everything is configured fine except for bookshelf["vip"], which must be
set to node["ipaddress"] rather than node["fqdn"].

You can create a file /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb with content
bookshelf["vip"]
= node["ipaddress"].

Cheers,
Jay

Thanks guys, but it didn’t work.

Here’s more details about my scenario.

I have the Chef server in a private subnet of a VPC. I connect to it by the means of a VPN that’s located in the public subnet of the VPC. It all works, I can access the Chef server (knife and the web UI), via the internal IP, which is also configured in knife.rb as my chef_server_url.

I created /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb with:

bookshelf[“vip”] = node[“ipaddress”]

and since it didn’t work I added

bookshelf[“url”] = node[“ipaddress”]

After each change I ran chef-server-ctl restart, but I keep getting the same error. Is there a way I can query these parameters (bookshelf[“vip”] and [“url”]) on the Chef server to be sure that they’re properly set?

run chef-server-ctl reconfigure, this generates per-service configs from the master chef-server.rb

Cassiano,

You must run chef-server-ctl reconfigure after updating the chef-server
config file in order to get the changed configured to be applied to the
chef-server. Any changes you make to the chef-server config file before
running chef-server-ctl reconfigure will not have any effect.

Jay

set bookshelf[“url”] to ec2 external host name, or the chef_server_url

Thanks guys, but it didn’t work.

Here’s more details about my scenario.

I have the Chef server in a private subnet of a VPC. I connect to it by
the means of a VPN that’s located in the public subnet of the VPC. It all
works, I can access the Chef server (knife and the web UI), via the
internal IP, which is also configured in knife.rb as my chef_server_url.

I created /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb with:

bookshelf[“vip”] = node[“ipaddress”]

and since it didn’t work I added

bookshelf[“url”] = node[“ipaddress”]

After each change I ran chef-server-ctl restart, but I keep getting the
same error. Is there a way I can query these parameters (bookshelf[“vip”]
and [“url”]) on the Chef server to be sure that they’re properly set?

Cassiano,

This is a common problem with the out-of-the-box OSS chef-server config
when the server has a well-known IP address but not a public DNS name.

Everything is configured fine except for bookshelf["vip"], which must be
set to node["ipaddress"] rather than node["fqdn"].

You can create a file /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb with content bookshelf["vip"]
= node["ipaddress"].

Thanks to all who replied. I got it to work by setting:

bookshelf["vip"] = node["ipaddress"]
bookshelf["url"] = "https://#{node["ipaddress"]}”

on /etc/chef-server/chef-server.rb and issuing the reconfigure command.

This is my first OSS Chef server, so I guess I’ll be sending lots of questions to this list in the near future! :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Cassiano Leal

Cassiano,

You must run chef-server-ctl reconfigure after updating the chef-server config file in order to get the changed configured to be applied to the chef-server. Any changes you make to the chef-server config file before running chef-server-ctl reconfigure will not have any effect.

Cheers,
Jay
