    :bind_address, 
    :compression, 
    :compression_level, 
    :config,

• machine resource example:

    require 'chef_metal_ssh'
    
    with_ssh_cluster("~/metal_ssh")
  
    machine "one" do
      action [:ready, :converge]
      machine_options 'ip_address' => '192.168.33.21',
                      'ssh_options' => {
                        'user' => 'vagrant',
                        'password' => 'vagrant'
                      }
      recipe 'ssh_test::remote1'
      notifies :create, 'machine[two]'
      notifies :run, 'execute[run_touch1]'
    end
  

To test it out, clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/double-z/chef-metal-ssh.git

in the root there is a Vagrantfile with 3 nodes, 1 master and 2 targets.

FYI, nothing will get installed on your local machine in this process.

Run:

vagrant up

which will bring up all 3 nodes.

So then ssh to the master:

vagrant ssh master

the repo test directory has a test cookbook and run_zero script. its located at /vagrant/test

cd into the test directory:

cd /vagrant/test

then run:

bash run_zero install_local if you built the gem locally first using rake build

otherwise:

bash run_zero install_rubygems

this will install the prereqs. then run:

bash run_zero both

this will run the ssh_test::both recipe which will converge both targets, with target one notifying target two. target one will converge the ssh_test::remote1 recipe, target two the ssh_test::remote2 recipe.

thats it.

party on wayne.
