Knife can operate with chef server normally, by using knife.rb and saved
admin.pem in user home.
I have script on chef admin’s machine and I want that this script can
operate with chef server with same configs as knife operate with it. I.e.
without additional configuration as follows:
Define chef server parameters
chef_server_url="https://chef.example.com"
client_name = "adminws.example.local"
signing_key_filename="/etc/chef/client.pem"
…
That’s part of this script, where i need this variables:
…
Operate with chef server:
rest = Chef::REST.new(chef_server_url, client_name,
signing_key_filename)
#puts rest.get_rest("/data/#{bag}/#{item}")
rest.get_rest("/data/#{bag}/#{item}")
…
How i can make my script “universe”?

Sorry for the late reply here. Probably your easiest option is to write your own knife plugin: Writing Custom Knife Plugins

No problem. That's OK.

Now I do not have a lot of time. I developing small project for self using.

What do you think about it ?
I think writing knife-plugin is overkill for one human now.
But If people interested in it, then I think this is possible!

Knife plugins are pretty easy, especially compared to the work you’ve already done. Here is a bare minimum knife plugin (sorry the formatting sucks):
module ThisIsAnExample
class Example < Chef::Knife
def run
puts "HELLLLOOOOOOO"
end
end
end
Put that in ~/.chef/plugins/knife/example.rb and then you can run knife example
.
But If people interested in it, then I think this is possible!
Looks pretty cool, but we’re using a different password manager, so not something we can use ourselves.

Thank you for example. As soon as free time I am try to bring this to life.
As I uderstand if i place my code in placeholder, then i don't need to auth
with server. The code does this itself.
What password manager do you use ? I only know keepassx )

Knife will locate your config file and evaluate it, so that Chef::Config[:node_name]
and such are populated with the correct values. Chef::REST.new
will use this config if you don’t provide specific values as arguments. See: https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/d1350f296095ff70baafbd4f5fa1e3737a4924d2/lib/chef/rest.rb#L59

We’re using lastpass

Thank you for a tip's.
I know about lastpass. There is another beautiful app for strore passwd.
