This is basically a normal chef repository. I created it mainly for testing and learning purposes.

It's intended to be used with chef-solo and vagrant. For encrypted data bags I installed knife-solo and knife-solo_data_bag.

There is already an encrypted data bag and you can show or edit it with these commands:

$ knife solo data bag show mysql passwords --secret topsecret
$ knife solo data bag edit mysql passwords --secret topsecret

I'm passing the secret in directly but there is also a secret file (encrypted_data_bag_secret) with the same secret. To use it you have to use --secret-file instead of --secret with the knife command and then load the secret file whereever you need it (recipes, roles, environments, ...).
