Support chef-server

[adamhjk]

In addition to the current chef-solo support, support building vagrant boxes from a chef-server.

Adam,

I'll be actively learning about chef server and how best to integrate it into Vagrant ASAP. =]

Adam,

An update on this. I've been working in the 'flexible-provisioning' branch to support this gracefully and I finished the chef server provisioner tonight. I tested it and it worked :) (provisioned a lamp server super quick!) I'm going to continue working in this branch to add a few more things to chef-solo and also to make the config easier to use (easier to add recipes and so on). But for now this is working like so...

In the Vagrantfile:

config.vm.provisioner = :chef_server
config.chef.chef_server_url = "http://myserver.com:4000"
config.chef.validation_key_path = "/path/to/my/validation.pem"

And that's it! vagrant up and away you go.

The base box currently has chef 0.7.x though so I'm going to have to fix that as well.

Adam,

Chef server support is in:

http://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/commit/9ba0647b6464c567eab93e6f7a9509f668422b69

Documentation will be forthcoming, but the above comment about the Vagrantfile is still accurate.
