# Shared Chef Options
|
|
|
|
This page documents the list of available options that are available in
|
|
both the
|
|
[Chef solo](/v2/provisioning/chef_solo.html)
|
|
and
|
|
[Chef client](/v2/provisioning/chef_client.html)
|
|
provisioners.
|
|
|
|
* `arguments` (string) - A list of additional arguments to pass on the
|
|
command-line to Chef. Since these are passed in a shell-like environment,
|
|
be sure to properly quote and escape characters if necessary. By default,
|
|
no additional arguments are sent.
|
|
|
|
* `attempts` (int) - The number of times Chef will be run if an error occurs.
|
|
This defaults to 1. This can be increased to a higher number if your Chef
|
|
runs take multiple runs to reach convergence.
|
|
|
|
* `binary_path` (string) - The path to the directory of the Chef executable
|
|
binaries. By default, Vagrant looks for the proper Chef binary on the PATH.
|
|
|
|
* `custom_config_path` (string) - A path to a custom Chef configuration local
|
|
on your machine that will be used as the Chef configuration. This Chef
|
|
configuration will be loaded _after_ the Chef configuration that Vagrant
|
|
generates, allowing you to override anything that Vagrant does. This is
|
|
also a great way to use new Chef features that may not be supported fully
|
|
by Vagrant's abstractions yet.
|
|
|
|
* `encrypted_data_bag_secret_key_path` (string) - The path to the secret key
|
|
file to decrypt encrypted data bags. By default, this is not set.
|
|
|
|
* `environment` (string) - The environment you want the Chef run to be
|
|
a part of.
|
|
|
|
* `formatter` (string) - The formatter to use for output from Chef.
|
|
|
|
* `http_proxy`, `http_proxy_user`, `http_proxy_pass`, `no_proxy` (string) - Settings
|
|
to configure HTTP and HTTPS proxies to use from Chef. These settings are
|
|
also available with `http` replaced with `https` to configure HTTPS proxies.
|
|
|
|
* `json` (hash) - Custom node attributes to pass into the Chef run.
|
|
|
|
* `log_level` (string) - The log level for Chef output. This defaults to
|
|
"info".
|
|
|
|
* `node_name` (string) - The node name for the Chef Client. By default this
|
|
will be your hostname.
|
|
|
|
* `provisioning_path` (string) - The path on the remote machine where Vagrant
|
|
will store all necessary files for provisioning such as cookbooks, configurations,
|
|
etc. This path must be world writable. By default this is
|
|
`/tmp/vagrant-chef-#` where "#" is replaced by a unique counter.
|
|
|
|
* `run_list` (array) - The run list that will be executed on the node.
|
|
|
|
* `file_cache_path` and `file_backup_path` (string) - Paths on the remote
|
|
machine where files will be cached and backed up. It is useful sometimes
|
|
to configure this to a synced folder address so that this can be shared
|
|
across many Vagrant runs.
|
|
|
|
* `verbose_logging` (boolean) - Whether or not to enable the Chef
|
|
`verbose_logging` option. By default this is false.
