Parallels Cookbook

A Chef cookbook for Parallels.

Requirements

An OS X machine that can run Parallels and Chef >= 12.5 (or Chef ~> 12.0 and
the compat_resource cookbook) are required.

Usage

Either add the default recipe to your run_list or use the custom resources
directly in a recipe of your own.

Recipes

default

Installs Parallels, with an optional license key and/or at an optional major
version.

Attributes

default

A specific major version of Parallels (e.g. '11', '10', etc.) can be installed
if you so desire:

default['parallels']['app']['version'] = nil

A valid license key can be provided:

default['parallels']['config']['license'] = nil

Resources

parallels

A parent resource that wraps both installation and configuration.

Syntax:

parallels 'default' do
    version '11'
    license 'abcd-efgh-ijkl-mnop'
    action [:install, :configure]
end
