LXC Chef Prep

This turns a base LXC debian install into something suitable for running knife bootstrap on.

• Creates a chefdeploy user
• Sets up wheel as a NOPASSWD sudo group (sudo still exists as a PASSWD sudo group)
• Adds a specified ssh key to the group
• Installs chef

Requirements

• An already created Debian LXC container with networking enabled
• Tested with jessie
• The ssh key you want to use in a file named "ssh_key.pub"
• DNS container resolution on host. lxc-net and using dnsmasq as a caching resolver should be good enough. http://bryanalves.github.io/2015/07/03/lxc-dns-on-host/

Quick start

sudo lxc-create -t debian --name test01

# Set up networking, Example:
echo lxc.network.type = veth >> /var/lib/lxc/test01/config
echo lxc.network.flags = up >> /var/lib/lxc/test01/config
echo lxc.network.link = lxcbr0 >> /var/lib/lxc/test01/config

./lxc-chef-setup.sh test01

# Wait a few minutes for completion. then:

knife bootstrap test01 -x chefdeploy --sudo -N test01
