Ohai Chefs,

I was wondering if there is an omnibus bootstrap template for use with the  
(btw really awesome) knife-server plugin?

Cheers,

Hey Mike,

thanks for the prompt reply. Guess that means that omnibus installers  
were for the chef-client only. Hmm, thought that there were omnibus  
installers for Chef Server (10.x) as well...

Cheers, Torben

Correct, they're work in progress and unreleased. You can build your own packages from the same tool we are using, see the following [Chef Software, Inc. · GitHub](http://github.com/opscode)[http://github.com/opscode](http://github.com/opscode) projects:

omnibus-ruby  
omnibus-software  
omnibus-chef

The ruby project DSL replaces the older Clojure based tool.
