Will the re-write have the ability to do docker commands from the provisioning run?

Will the re-write keep the ability to do all the docker commands in the chef-metal recipes?

I.E. the feature where the provisioning recipe can do all the things that can be done in a docker file, but it doesn't require a chef-client in the docker container. It does it via the docker api from the provisioning chef-client run to the docker container via the docker api.

This is a super power and makes chef-metal-docker a much better docker provisioner than dockerfiles.

When should we start playing with this new version?

@johnewart can you take a look at this?

@rberger soon :) We will release the new version of -docker along with everything else in the next few days.

@rberger the best answer is "now" :)

Sorry for the long delay, I've been on vacation sans internets.

[rberger]

How did you survive without internets!? :-)

[jkeiser]

I was a counselor at a summer camp, they kept me far too busy to Reddit :)

The rewrite is quite complete--are we doing what you need?

[jkeiser]

Calling it good :)
