How To Download All Chef Cookbooks, Including Different Versions from a Chef Server, then Upload to Another Chef Server

Note, this was done on a Mac, Windows is similar

Using Source Chef Server in knife.rb

  1. Edit your knife.rb and add the following line: 
    versioned_cookbooks      true
  2. Create a directory on your local workstations called chef_cookbooks.
  3. CD into the chef_cookbooks directory and run the following command: 
    knife download --chef-repo-path ./ /cookbooks

## Output Similar to this, note the version numbers on the end of each one:

 Created cookbooks/audit-7.0.0
 Created cookbooks/auditd-2.3.3
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-0.1.3
 Created cookbooks/audit-7.1.0
 Created cookbooks/bastion-host-0.1.1
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.11
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.8
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.10
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-0.1.3/DELIVERY.md
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.11/DELIVERY.md
 Created cookbooks/bastion-host-0.1.1/DELIVERY.md
 Created cookbooks/auditd-2.3.3/CHANGELOG.md
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.8/DELIVERY.md
 .......
  4. That's it, you've downloaded all cookbooks from the source.

Using Destination Chef Server in knife.rb

  1. CD into the chef_cookbooks directory you created in step 2 above.
  2. Run the following command to upload all cookbooks in the directory: 
    knife upload --chef-repo-path ./ /cookbooks

## Output Similar to this:

 Created cookbooks/audit-7.0.0
 Created cookbooks/auditd-2.3.3
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-0.1.3
 Created cookbooks/audit-7.1.0
 Created cookbooks/bastion-host-0.1.1
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.11
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.8
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.10
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-0.1.3/DELIVERY.md
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.11/DELIVERY.md
 Created cookbooks/bastion-host-0.1.1/DELIVERY.md
 Created cookbooks/auditd-2.3.3/CHANGELOG.md
 Created cookbooks/bitbucket-version-test-cookbook-1.1.8/DELIVERY.md
 .......
  3. That's it, you now have all of your cookbooks + versions uploaded to a new Chef Server.
