KNIFE-COOKBOOK-SITE(1) knife cookbook site KNIFE-COOKBOOK-SITE(1) NAME knife-cookbook-site - The man page for the knife cookbook site subcom‐ mand. The Cookbooks Site API is used to provide access to the cookbooks com‐ munity hosted at https://supermarket.getchef.com/cookbooks. All of the cookbooks in the community are accessible through a RESTful API located at https://supermarket.getchef.com/api/v1/cookbooks by using any of the supported endpoints. In most cases, using knife and the knife cookbook site sub-command (and any of its arguments) is the recommended method of interacting with these cookbooks, but in some cases, using the Cook‐ books Site API directly may make sense. The knife cookbook site subcommand is used to interact with cookbooks that are located at https://supermarket.getchef.com/cookbooks. A user account is required for any community actions that write data to this site. The following arguments do not require a user account: download, search, install, and list. COMMON OPTIONS The following options may be used with any of the arguments available to the knife cookbook site subcommand: --chef-zero-port PORT The port on which chef-zero will listen. -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE The configuration file to use. -d, --disable-editing Use to prevent the $EDITOR from being opened and to accept data as-is. --defaults Use to have knife use the default value instead of asking a user to provide one. -e EDITOR, --editor EDITOR The $EDITOR that is used for all interactive commands. -E ENVIRONMENT, --environment ENVIRONMENT The name of the environment. When this option is added to a com‐ mand, the command will run only against the named environment. -F FORMAT, --format FORMAT The output format: summary (default), text, json, yaml, and pp. -h, --help Shows help for the command. -k KEY, --key KEY The private key that knife will use to sign requests made by the API client to the Chef server. --[no-]color Use to view colored output. --print-after Use to show data after a destructive operation. -s URL, --server-url URL The URL for the Chef server. -u USER, --user USER The user name used by knife to sign requests made by the API client to the Chef server. Authentication will fail if the user name does not match the private key. -V, --verbose Set for more verbose outputs. Use -VV for maximum verbosity. -v, --version The version of the chef-client. -y, --yes Use to respond to all confirmation prompts with "Yes". knife will not ask for confirmation. -z, --local-mode Use to run the chef-client in local mode. This allows all com‐ mands that work against the Chef server to also work against the local chef-repo. DOWNLOAD The download argument is used to download a cookbook from the community website. A cookbook will be downloaded as a tar.gz archive and placed in the current working directory. If a cookbook (or cookbook version) has been deprecated and the --force option is not used, knife will alert the user that the cookbook is deprecated and then will provide the name of the most recent non-deprecated version of that cookbook. Syntax This argument has the following syntax: $ knife cookbook site download COOKBOOK_NAME [COOKBOOK_VERSION] (options) Options This argument has the following options: COOKBOOK_VERSION The version of a cookbook to be downloaded. If a cookbook has only one version, this option does not need to be specified. If a cookbook has more than one version and this option is not specified, the most recent version of the cookbook will be down‐ loaded. -f FILE, --file FILE The file to which a cookbook download is written. --force Use to overwrite an existing directory. Examples To download the cookbook getting-started, enter: $ knife cookbook site download getting-started to return something like: Downloading getting-started from the cookbooks site at version 0.3.0 to /Users/sdanna/opscodesupport/getting-started-0.3.0.tar.gz Cookbook saved: /Users/sdanna/opscodesupport/getting-started-0.3.0.tar.gz INSTALL The install argument is used to install a cookbook that has been down‐ loaded from the community site to a local git repository . This action uses the git version control system in conjunction with the https://supermarket.getchef.com/cookbooks site to install commu‐ nity-contributed cookbooks to the local chef-repo. Using this argument does the following: 1. A new "pristine copy" branch is created in git for tracking the upstream. 2. All existing versions of a cookbook are removed from the branch. 3. The cookbook is downloaded from https://supermarket.getchef.com/cookbooks in the tar.gz format. 4. The downloaded cookbook is untarred and its contents are commit‐ ted to git and a tag is created. 5. The "pristine copy" branch is merged into the master branch. This process allows the upstream cookbook in the master branch to be modified while letting git maintain changes as a separate patch. When an updated upstream version becomes available, those changes can be merged while maintaining any local modifications. Syntax This argument has the following syntax: $ knife cookbook site install COOKBOOK_NAME [COOKBOOK_VERSION] (options) Options This argument has the following options: -b, --use-current-branch Use to ensure that the current branch is used. -B BRANCH, --branch BRANCH The name of the default branch. This will default to the master branch. COOKBOOK_VERSION The version of the cookbook to be installed. If a version is not specified, the most recent version of the cookbook will be installed. -D, --skip-dependencies Use to ensure that all cookbooks to which the installed cookbook has a dependency will not be installed. -o PATH:PATH, --cookbook-path PATH:PATH The directory in which cookbooks are created. This can be a colon-separated path. Examples To install the cookbook getting-started, enter: $ knife cookbook site install getting-started to return something like: Installing getting-started to /Users/sdanna/opscodesupport/.chef/../cookbooks Checking out the master branch. Creating pristine copy branch chef-vendor-getting-started Downloading getting-started from the cookbooks site at version 0.3.0 to /Users/sdanna/opscodesupport/.chef/../cookbooks/getting-started.tar.gz Cookbook saved: /Users/sdanna/opscodesupport/.chef/../cookbooks/getting-started.tar.gz Removing pre-existing version.
