Overview

The chef-server-webui is a simple Rails 3.2 application which talks to the Chef Server API (aka Erchef) for all back-end data. Installation is easy as the chef-server-webui already comes preconfigured as part of the default chef-server Omnibus package install. The chef-server-webui can also be deployed under any Rack compliant server.

The following default configuration values can be overriden in your Rails environment config:

config.chef_server_url = "http://127.0.0.1:8000"
config.rest_client_name = "chef-webui"
config.rest_client_key = "/etc/chef-server/webui_priv.pem"
config.admin_user_name =  "admin"
config.admin_default_password = "p@ssw0rd1"
