An example of how to run serverspec tests on Chef-managed machines.
This is from my 11/18/2014 presentation at Boston DevOps.
Install ChefDK and set it as your default Ruby for this session with:
chef shell-init {myshell}
where {myshell} is the shell you use, like bash or zsh.
Install the kitchen-docker driver:
chef gem install kitchen-docker
You should have a running docker on your system.
If you're on OSX install boot2docker
and set your DOCKER_HOST environment variable.
export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://$(boot2docker ip 2>/dev/null):2376
Now you can use kitchen converge to converge a docker container.
After convergance, kitchen verify will run the serverspec tests.
When you're all done, run kitchen destroy to remove the docker container.
