Build Status

Description

Chef cookbook for a Unicorn Tears workstation.

This is a wrapper (or application) cookbook and is therefore good and opinionated about application and configuration defaults. Feel free to try it, fork and modify it, or just read and learn.

Usage

Simply include recipe[ut_workstation] in your run_list and set up some bag items (namely under workstation and users) to drive the cookbook.
