It depends on whether you want to use Chef in the global zone or inside a zone. Inside a zone seems to be pretty easy these days: there is a "ruby215-chef-11.12.4" package in the default 2014Q4 pkgsrc set. It appeared to install "/opt/local/bin/chef-solo" when I tried it just now. If you're talking about in the global zone, Jonathan Perkin did some work to create a standalone pkgsrc bootstrap that should work in the global zone of a SmartOS or SDC compute node, and which installs into "/opt/tools". This package set is limited to configuration management packages like Chef, Puppet, etc. To install this bootstrap, you can follow the instructions here (with one minor change): http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/install-on-illumos/ Instead of using the bootstrap URLs listed on that page, you want the "tools" bootstrap: http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/SmartOS/bootstrap/bootstrap-2014Q4-tools.tar.gz Cheers. -- Joshua M.
