Chef is a popular configuration management tool that helps automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Chef on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
Before installing Chef, it is essential to update your system software packages to the latest version. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
This command will update the Alpine package manager's repositories and upgrade installed packages to their latest versions.
Chef depends on Ruby, so the first step is to install Ruby and its dependencies:
sudo apk add ruby ruby-dev build-base
This command will download and install Ruby, Ruby Development headers, and a build environment.
After installing the necessary dependencies, we can proceed to install Chef. Chef provides a shell script (install.sh) that will download and install the software:
curl -L https://omnitruck.chef.io/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -P chef
This command will download the Chef installation script using curl and pass the script to the shell using sudo. The -P chef specifies that you want to install the latest version of Chef.
Once the installation is complete, you can check the version of Chef running on your system by running:
chef-client -v
This command should output the current Chef version installed on your system.
Congratulations! You are now ready to use Chef to automate your infrastructure provision and management.
