Hi,
when i run a knife bootstrap for a new client the chef client get installed
and run for first time but i get this error FATAL:
Net::HTTPServerException: 413 “Request Entity Too Large”
i know the issue is with the ohai – i hae to disable passwd in client.rb
Is there a way to fix it in the bootstrap itself as of now what i do it i
run knife bootstrap then i got to my client machine add the line
Ohai::Config[:disabled_plugins] = [“passwd”, “rackspace”, “dmi”,
“dmi_common”]
in client.rb and then run chef-client again which fix the issue,
but its painful to do it on every new node.
Thanks
Manoj
Hey Manoj,
When you run knife bootstrap it uses one of the bootstrap templates
herehttps://github.com/opscode/chef/tree/master/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap
(by
default "chef-full") If you need to customize some aspect of the bootstrap
process -- for example the contents of your client.rb -- you can copy one
of those templates with a custom name to ~/.chef/bootstrap/ or
<chef_repo>/.chef/bootstrap/ and use the--distro flag to specify your new
template name when you bootstrap.
You can see also how chef builds up the client.rb file
herehttps://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/knife/core/bootstrap_context.rb#L63-L90
