openSUSE support #2772

Open kaiquekandykoga opened 2 years ago

kaiquekandykoga commented 2 years ago

I would like to install Chef Workstation on openSUSE. I can see it is not officially supported (https://www.chef.io/downloads/tools/workstation and https://docs.chef.io/workstation/install_workstation).

I checked another issue https://github.com/chef/chef-workstation/issues/2575 which is asking a similar thing, but it was mentioning SUSE instead.

I tried to start using a Docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/chef/chefworkstation which works, still a little "limited" because it does not have all the dependencies I need. For instance, I can not run kitchen because the image does contain Vagrant. Install all the dependencies inside the image does not seem practical.

I understand that supporting another distribution takes a significant amount of effort, so I am also happy to receive suggestions of how I can manage to work with Chef Workstation from openSUSE host in an easy way.

Thank you.

Apologies for bumping an older post, but just FYI in case anyone else comes along - the rpm version of chef-workstation installs fine on suse (tumbleweed at least). Just download the RPM and then double-click on it and the suse package manager will install it. Or just type sudo rpm -i /yourdirectory/yourrpm.rpm
