Chef-run is a tool to execute ad-hoc tasks using Chef. | ||
|
||
`chef-run <TARGET[S]> <RESOURCE> <RESOURCE_NAME> [PROPERTIES] [FLAGS]` | ||
|
||
Runs a single <RESOURCE> on the specified <TARGET[S]>. | ||
[PROPERTIES] should be specified as key=value. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
chef-run web01 service nginx | ||
chef-run web01,web02 service nginx action=restart | ||
chef-run web[1:2] service nginx priority=20 action=stop | ||
``` | ||
|
||
`chef-run <TARGET[S]> <RECIPE> [FLAGS]` | ||
|
||
Runs a single recipe located at <RECIPE> on the specified <TARGET[S]>. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
chef-run web01 path/to/cookbook/recipe.rb | ||
chef-run web01,web02 path/to/cookbook | ||
chef-run web0[1:2] cookbook_name | ||
chef-run web01 cookbook_name::recipe_name | ||
``` | ||
|
||
ARGUMENTS: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
<TARGET[S]> The hosts or IPs to target. Can also be an SSH or WinRM URLs | ||
in the form: | ||
ssh://[USERNAME]@example.com[:PORT] | ||
<RESOURCE> A Chef resource, such as 'user' or 'package' | ||
<RESOURCE_NAME> The name, usually used to specify what 'thing' to set up with | ||
the resource. For example, given resource 'user', 'name' would be | ||
the name of the user you wanted to create. | ||
<RECIPE> The recipe to converge. This can be provided as one of: | ||
1. Full path to a recipe file | ||
2. Cookbook name. First we check the working directory for this | ||
cookbook, then we check in the chef repository path. If a | ||
cookbook is found we run the default recipe. | ||
3. This behaves similarly to 'cookbook name' above, but it also allows | ||
you to specify which recipe to use from the cookbook. | ||
``` | ||
|
||
FLAGS: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
-c, --config PATH Location of config file. Defaults to /Users/mchiang/.chef-workstation/config.toml | ||
--cookbook-repo-paths PATH Comma separated list of cookbook repository paths. | ||
-h, --help Show help and usage for `chef-run` | ||
-i, --identity-file PATH SSH identity file to use when connecting. Keys loaded into ssh-agent will also be used. | ||
--[no-]install Install Chef client on the target host(s) if it is not installed. | ||
This defaults to enabled - the installation will be performed | ||
if there is no Chef client on the target(s). | ||
--password <PASSWORD> Password to use for authentication to the target(s). The same | ||
password will be used for all targets. | ||
-s, --[no-]ssl Use SSL for WinRM. Current default: false | ||
-s, --[no-]ssl-verify Verify peer certificate when using SSL for WinRM | ||
Use --ssl-no-verify when using SSL for WinRM and | ||
the remote host is using a self-signed certificate. | ||
Current default: true | ||
--[no-]sudo Whether to use root permissions on the target. Default: true | ||
--sudo-command <COMMAND> Command to use for administrative/root access. Defaults to 'sudo'. | ||
--sudo-options 'OPTIONS...' Options to use with the sudo command. If there are multiple flags, | ||
quote them. For example: --sudo-options '-H -P -s' | ||
--sudo-password <PASSWORD> Password to use with the sudo command. This must be provided if | ||
password is required for sudo on the target(s). The same sudo password | ||
will be used for all targets. | ||
--user <USER> Username to use for authentication to the target(s). The same | ||
username will be used for all targets. | ||
-v, --version Show the current version of Chef Run. | ||
``` | ||
