# Chef Zero Provisioner
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Provisioner name: `chef_zero`**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Chef Zero provisioner allows you to provision the guest using
|
|
|
|
|
[Chef](https://www.getchef.com/chef/), specifically with
|
|
|
|
|
[Chef Zero/local mode](https://docs.getchef.com/ctl_chef_client.html#run-in-local-mode).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This new provisioner is a middle ground between running a full blown
|
|
|
|
|
Chef Server and using the limited [Chef Solo](/v2/provisioning/chef_solo.html)
|
|
|
|
|
provisioner. It runs a local in-memory Chef Server and fakes the validation
|
|
|
|
|
and client key registration.

<strong>Warning:</strong> If you're not familiar with Chef and Vagrant already,
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend starting with the <a href="/v2/provisioning/shell.html">shell
|
|
|
|
|
provisioner</a>. However, if you're comfortable with Vagrant already, Vagrant
|
|
|
|
|
is the best way to learn Chef.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Chef Zero provisioner is configured basically the same way as the Chef Solo
|
|
|
|
|
provisioner. See the [Chef Solo documentations](/v2/provisioning/chef_solo.html)
|
|
|
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A basic example could look like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
|
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
|
|
|
|
config.vm.provision "chef_zero" do |chef|
|
|
|
|
|
# Specify the local paths where Chef data is stored
|
|
|
|
|
chef.cookbooks_path = "cookbooks"
|
|
|
|
|
chef.roles_path = "roles"
|
|
|
|
|
chef.nodes_path = "nodes"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Add a recipe
|
|
|
|
|
chef.add_recipe "apache"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Or maybe a role
|
|
|
|
|
chef.add_role "web"
|
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
