How Can i Upload 500mb size file into chef cookbook?


I want to upload 500MB size file directly to cookbook for some config problems. I only able to upload 250MB size file into cookbook. I've increased the value of nginx['client_max_body_size'] and opscode_solr4['max_field_length'].Eventhough it doesn't work for me to upload 500mb size file. Can anyone give me some solution for it?


Solution

  • Don't. This is not what Chef is for and our storage and file sync layers are not efficient enough to do it well. Put the file on a web server somewhere and use a remote_file resource instead of a cookbook_file.
