Chef Connectivity Tester

This repo contains a small Ruby script that can be used to test your connection to Opscode's Chef Server. This is very useful for training courses, to ensure you have met all the pre-requisite steps.

Assumptions

• You are using Opscode's omnibus installer at the default location
• You have successfully registered for Enterprise Chef and downloaded your Starter Kit
• You are running these commands from inside your Starter Kit chef-repo

Usage

1. Download the check script inside the bin directory of this repo

2. Move the check script into your chef-repo

3. Execute the script from a terminal from within your chef-repo:

    $ /opt/chef/embedded/bin/ruby check
   

   If you are using Windows, your path is slightly different:

    $ C:/opscode/chef/embedded/bin/ruby.exe check
   

This will test some common endpoints when working with Chef, such as:

• Connecting to GitHub
• Connecting to a Chef Server
• Downloading a Cookbook
• Establishing an SSH connection

Development

1. Fork/clone the repository on GitHub
2. Submit patches as Pull Requests
