Chef Supermarket Deployment

This page documents deployments using the next major version dpl v2, which currently is in a beta release phase. Please see our blog post for details. The current default version is dpl v1. Check dpl v1 documentation here.

Be sure to read the v2 deployment overview.

Travis CI can automatically deploy your cookbook to Chef Supermarket after a successful build.

For a minimal configuration, add the following to your .travis.yml:

deploy:
  provider: chef_supermarket
  user_id: <user_id>
  category: <category>
  edge: true # opt in to dpl v2

Encrypt your client key by running the following command and add it to your .travis.yml file:

  travis encrypt-file client.pem

See Encrypting Files for instructions on adding encrypted files to your repository and .travis.yml file.
