NAME

       chake-itamae - configure chake nodes with itamae

DESCRIPTION

       This configuration manager will run itamae(1) against your nodes.

CONFIGURATION

       The  itamae  configuration manager requires one key called itamae, and the value must be a
       list of strings representing the list of recipes to apply to the node when converging.

           host1.mycompany.com:
             itamae:
               - cookbooks/basic/default.rb
               - roles/server.rb
             service1:
               option1: "here we go"

       Any extra configuration under host1.mycompany.com will be saved to a JSON file  and  given
       to the itamae --node-json option in the command line. For example, the above configuration
       will produce a JSON file that looks like this:

           {
             "itamae": [
               "cookbooks/basic.rb",
               "roles/server.rb"
             ]
             ,
             "service1": {
               "option1": "here we go"
             }
           }

       Inside itamae recipes, you can access those values by using the node object. For example:

           template "/etc/service1.conf.d/option1.conf" do
             variables option1: node["option1"]
           end

BOOTSTRAPPING

       Very little bootstrapping is required for this configuration manager, as  itamae  requires
       no  setup  on  the node site since the Ruby code in the recipes is interpreted locally and
       not on the nodes. During bootstrapping, only the node hostname will be  set  according  to
       your chake configuration.
