问题

I'm using Vagrant to create a chef node, and it spins up the image and then the initial chef-client run fails. When I ssh into the machine, delete /etc/chef/client.pem, and run sudo chef-client again, it succeeds, but without the run_list that I passed in from vagrant. This is what the failure looks like:

$ vagrant up

==> default: node_name         "test2"
==> default: client_key        "/etc/chef/client.pem"

These are my Vagrantfiles:

1) The Vagrantfile packaged with the box:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provider :vsphere do |vsphere|
    vsphere.host = 'vsphereserver.myorg.com'
    vsphere.compute_resource_name = 'TestDev'
    vsphere.user = 'vagrantadmin'
    vsphere.password = 'password'
    vsphere.insecure = true
  end

  config.ssh.username = 'auto'
  config.ssh.private_key_path = '~/.vagrant.d/id_rsa'
end

2) The Vagrantfile in my home directory (~/.vagrant.d):

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = 'vsphere'

  config.vm.provider :vsphere do |vsphere|
    vsphere.template_name = 'vagrantchefnode'
  end

  config.vm.provision "chef_client", id: "chef" do |chef|
    chef.provisioning_path = "/etc/chef"
    chef.chef_server_url = "https://chefserver.myorg.com"
    chef.validation_key_path = "/home/user/.vagrant.d/chef/validation.pem"
#    chef.client_key_path = "/etc/chef/client.pem"
    chef.validation_client_name = "chef-validator"
    chef.custom_config_path = "/home/user/.vagrant.d/Vagrantfile.chef"
    chef.delete_node = true
    chef.delete_client = true
    chef.add_role "base"
  end
end

3) Vagrantfile from the project directory (~/.vagrant.d/boxes/chefnode1):

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

  config.vm.provider :vsphere do |vsphere|
#    vsphere.template_name = 'chefnode'
    vsphere.customization_spec_name = 'test2'
    vsphere.name = 'test2'
  end

  config.vm.provision "chef_client", id: "chef" do |chef|
    chef.node_name = "test2"
    chef.add_role "dev"
  end
end

I've tried uncommenting out the chef.client_key_path in the second Vagrantfile, with no effect. This seemed to work just fine when I had it all in one Vagrantfile, but I want to run multiple machines without copying all the settings into each Vagrantfile.

I have a full log with the --debug tag, if anybody wants it.

回答1:

You have two issues going on

/etc/chef/client.pem

It sounds like your base image has a /etc/chef/client.pem file already in place, which will fail to authenticate. You need to remove this from your base image so that a new node/client is created with chef on first run.

Alternately (but I don't suggest it), you can use a shell provisioner, before you chef-client provisioner, and just delete it with that. The downside is that every call to vagrant provision will result in a new attempt to create the client with chef-server.

Empty run list

As for the run-list changing, when a new chef node is created, its runlist is only saved if the chef run succeeds. Since it failed, your chef-server didn't store the runlist. When you then login directly and run chef-client, it asked the server for your runlist, which didn't exist, so you ran an empty runlist.
