Using vagrant + chef-zero and do not expect to see these error messages

Hi,

I am using chef-zero and do not expect to see these error messages in the
guest OS. According to doco, chef-zero is supposed to use a dumb-down
version of chef-server which does not perform authentication or
authorization. So there is no reason for the client to need the perm files,
right?

If I remember correctly, you still need to provide a validation key, but it
doesn't do any of the actual verification. So as long as the file exists,
it should work and move on.

How can I specify the validation key via the chef-zero configuration? I am
reading the README of Issues · chef-boneyard/vagrant-omnibus · GitHub but I
cannot find any reference to this property...

You are using chef-client 11.8.2 (which is ancient at this point)
installed in /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby and not the omnibus install.

Best way to get started using chef and vagrant is to use test-kitchen
out of ChefDK:

Hi Lamont,

Why chef client 11.8.2 is installed in the guest OS?

I had this line in my Vagrantfile already:

 config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest

I would expect it will install the latest version of chef for me to the
guest OS, right?

Cheers, Tony

You probably used a base box that already had an old version of chef
installed, and you either don't have the vagrant-omnibus plugin
installed or you've misconfigured it somehow, or there's two version of
chef-client on the virt and Vagrant's provisioner is getting the wrong
one, etc.

All those issues are solved if you use test-kitchen instead.

Hi Lamont,

Why chef client 11.8.2 is installed in the guest OS?

I had this line in my Vagrantfile already:

config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest

I would expect it will install the latest version of chef for me to
the guest OS, right?

Cheers, Tony

You are using chef-client 11.8.2 (which is ancient at this point)
installed in /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby and not the omnibus install.

Best way to get started using chef and vagrant is to use
test-kitchen out of ChefDK:

Hi,

I am using chef-zero and do not expect to see these error
messages in the guest OS. According to doco, chef-zero is
supposed to use a dumb-down version of chef-server which does not
perform authentication or authorization. So there is no reason
for the client to need the perm files, right?
