I use chef-server to manage my servers and am not trying to get the semi official logstash cookbook working but am having trobule with recipe dependencies.
I have all my cookbooks inside a chef-config repo along with the logstash one I cloned.
/chef-repo
/cookbooks
/mysql
/ngnix
/logstash - https://github.com/lusis/chef-logstash
I need to install the recipes which logstash which depends upon, this can be done with berkshelf, however berks install puts them in ~/.berkshelf/cookbooks/apache2 which seems a bit pointless as I need them in my cookbooks folder to allow me to upload them to chef-server.
I did try:
berks install --path /chef-repo/cookbooks
but this has 2 problems, first I overwrite other cookbooks of the same name (mysql) and all of my cookbooks are deleted.
How do people manage this problem?
