How to use 'knife data bag create' without chef server?

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi,

I intend to install a sensu receipt (https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef)
via chef-zero and vagrant.

It requires the creation of a data bag.

In the README.md of the sensu-chef, it says I can run either

cd examples/ssl
./ssl_certs.sh generate
knife data bag create sensu

or

knife data bag from file sensu ssl.json

However either way it requires a chef server URL.

I do not have access to any chef server. How can get around this
restriction to create a data bag?

Thanks, Tony

Use the -z flag within a chef repo to use ‘local mode'
