This is a Knife plug-in for Joyent CloudAPI. This plug-in gives knife the ability to create, bootstrap, and manage servers on the Joyent Public Cloud as well as cloud providers powered by Joyent's Private Cloud product offering.
For more information on Joyent CloudAPI, see: CloudAPI Documentation.
With chef already installed (> 0.10.0):
chef gem install knife-joyent

Please see knife joyent server create --help for more options
The following options can be specified in your knife configuration file
knife.rb
You can authenticate against CloudAPI using either:
an ssh key (recommended)
knife[:joyent_username] = "Your Joyent CloudAPI username"
knife[:joyent_keyname] = "Name of key stored on Joyent"
knife[:joyent_keyfile] = "/path/to/your/private/key"
# Optional / not-recommended -- defaults to using ssh-agent
knife[:joyent_keyphrase] = "mypassphrase"
or username and password
knife[:joyent_username] = "Your Joyent CloudAPI username"
knife[:joyent_password] = "Your Joyent CloudAPI password"
When authenticating with your ssh key (which we highly recommend),
knife-joyent will attempt to use ssh-agent to sign the request using the
key configured with knife[:joyent_keyname]. If no ssh-agent is
present or if the specified identity isn't found in the agent, you may
be prompted for a pass-phrase. If you do not want to use an
ssh-agent, you may optionally configure
knife[:joyent_passphrase] to automatically unlock the key for
authentication.
joyent_api_url
Specifies a custom CloudAPI endpoint, this is required if you want to manage machines located in another datacenter or if you want to interface with any CloudAPI instance powered by SmartDataCenter.
Defaults to us-sw-1
Available datacenters (currently) are:
https://eu-ams-1.api.joyent.com
https://us-west-1.api.joyent.com
https://us-sw-1.api.joyent.com
https://us-east-1.api.joyent.com
# Defaults to https://us-sw-1.api.joyent.com/
knife[:joyent_api_url] = "https://us-sw-1.api.joyent.com/"
joyent_metadata
Metadata to apply to each provisioned machine via the Metadata API. This should take the form of a hash with a single level of nesting. See the Metadata API for more info.
knife[:joyent_metadata] = {
"some_data" => "value"
}
joyent_version
By default, knife-joyent will use the version of the Joyent Cloud API that fog prefers. This can be overridden in knife.rb as follows:
knife[:joyent_version] = "~7.1"
Some command line options to knife-joyent subcommands may depend on the Joyent API version set.
joyent_verify_peer
Set to false to Disable SSL Certificate verification, required if
the CloudAPI instance uses a self-signed cert. (Default: true)
provisioner
Machines provisioned will be tagged with key provisioner containing
the value specified. This is useful for tracking source of provisions
for accounts where machines are provisioned by/from different sources /
users.

To bootstrap chef on SmartOS, use the script provided at joyent/smartmachine_cookbooks which sets up chef-client with SMF and installs the basic essentials.
