chef-compliance Cookbook

This cookbook configures a system to be a standalone Chef Compliance Server. It
will install the appropriate platform-specific compliance Omnibus
package from Package Cloud and perform the initial configuration.

Requirements

This cookbook is tested with Chef (client) 12. It may work with or
without modification on earlier versions of Chef, but Chef 12 is
recommended.

This cookbook will install Chef Compliance, but requires you to setup
the server by going to https://<host>/ and accepting the EULA.
