Installing Chef On Virtual box using vagrant for portable virtual development environments


Prerequisite for this setup

1. Windows machine
2. At-least 6 to 8 GB ram memory 

Download and Install Virtual box on Windows

Download from this site and install it: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Command to verify Virtual box installation:

5.1.8r111374

Add the below path to the environmental varibles:

Download and Install Operating System

Here I am installing Ubuntu 15.04

Download an Ubuntu Software (Ubuntu 15.04) from this site : http://www.vagrantbox.es 

Copy the Ubuntu software to the known location in your machine.

Create a text file and named it as "Vagrantfile". Add below content to the file and edit it as per your requirement: 

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.ssh.username = "chefuser" 
  config.ssh.password = "Welcome1"
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu-15.04-amd64.box"
  config.vm.synced_folder "D:\vagrant\vagrant_chef", "/u01/software",owner: "oracle", group: "oracle",  create: "true"
  config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.105"
   
  config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
    vb.gui = true
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "1024"]
    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cpus", "2"]
  end
end


Add Ubuntu image by running below command:
D:\vagrant\vagrant_chef>vagrant box add --name chef1  ubuntu-15.04-amd64.box


Initialize the Ubuntu Image in command prompt:
> vagrant init ubuntu-15.04-amd64.box

Bring up the vagrant box to access the Ubuntu OS:
vagrant up

Download and Install Chef SDK:

Download Chef SDK for  Ubuntu from the link below :

Download Winscp and install it in the local machine : 

Using winscp copy the chef sdk package to the Ubuntu box which is already accessible using ipaddress and port number.

Local User setup

SSH to virtual machine using root credentials.

Create group name "chefgrp" using below command:
groupadd chefgrp

Create user "chefuser"
useradd -c ‘Chef User’ -d /home/chefuser -g chefgrp -u 1100 -m chefuser

Change password for user "chefuser" using below command:

passwd chefuser
New password:
Confirm new password:

Assign sudo privileges to user "chefuser"

sudo visudo
Add the following line under “# User privilege specification” section
chefuser ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
Save file and logout.

SSH to machine using user "chefuser".

Install Chef SDK Debian package

Go to the location where the installer placed and run below command
sudo dpkg -i chefdk_1.0.3-1_amd64.deb

Once it is sucessfully installed you will get the message "Thank you for installing Chef Development Kit!"


On ubuntu, by default chef dk is installed in the location : " /opt/chefdk" 
ls  -ltr /opt/chefdk

Verify Chef Installation, run below command:

chef verify

Uninstall ChefSDK: (if you need it)

Use the following command to remove the Chef development kit on Debian-based platforms:
