Please see knife joyent server create --help for more options
The following options can be specified in your knife configuration file
knife.rb
You can authenticate against CloudAPI using either:
an ssh key (recommended)
knife[:joyent_username] = "Your Joyent CloudAPI username"
knife[:joyent_keyname] = "Name of key stored on Joyent"
knife[:joyent_keyfile] = "/path/to/your/private/key"
# Optional / not-recommended -- defaults to using ssh-agent
knife[:joyent_keyphrase] = "mypassphrase"
or username and password
knife[:joyent_username] = "Your Joyent CloudAPI username"
knife[:joyent_password] = "Your Joyent CloudAPI password"
When authenticating with your ssh key (which we highly recommend), knife-joyent will
attempt to use ssh-agent to sign the request using the key configured with
knife[:joyent_keyname]. If no ssh-agent is present or if the specified identity
isn't found in the agent, you may be prompted for a pass-phrase. If you do not want
to use an ssh-agent, you may optionally configure knife[:joyent_passphrase]
to automatically unlock the key for authentication.
joyent_api_url
Specify a custom API endpoint, this is required if you want to specify where you want to provision your machines, or if you are using knife with a provider powered by SmartDataCenter.
# Defaults to https://us-west-1.api.joyentcloud.com/
knife[:joyent_api_url] = "https://us-sw-1.api.joyentcloud.com/"
joyent_metadata
Metadata to apply to each provisioned machine via the Metadata API. This should take the form of a hash with a single level of nesting. See the Metadata API for more info.
knife[:joyent_metadata] = {
"some_data" => "value"
}
joyent_version
By default, knife-joyent will use the version of the Joyent Cloud API that fog prefers. This can be overridden in knife.rb as follows:
knife[:joyent_version] = "~7.0"
Some command line options to knife-joyent subcommands may depend on the Joyent API version set.
joyent_verify_peer
Set to false to Disable SSL Certificate verification, required if the CloudAPI instance
uses a self-signed cert. (Default: true)
provisioner
Machines provisioned will be tagged with key provisioner containing the value specified.
This is useful for tracking source of provisions for accounts where machines are provisioned
by/from different sources / users.

To bootstrap chef on SmartOS, use the script provided at the [Joyent Wiki] (http://wiki.joyent.com/wiki/display/jpc2/Joyent+ChefServer+SmartMachine#JoyentChefServerSmartMachine-BootstrappingaBareImagedSmartMachinetoyourChefServer) which sets up chef-client with SMF and installs the basic essentials.
