Note

From version 6.1.0, Berkshelf supports authenticated access to Artifactory using an API Key. Previous versions of Berkshelf only supported Anonymous access to Artifactory.

Berkshelf is a dependency manager for Chef Cookbooks and is a part of the ChefDK.

To resolve dependencies from a Chef supermarket in Artifactory, first configure your Artifactory API Key using config.rb:

Setting the Artifactory API key for use by Berkshelf

artifactory_api_key "<APIKEY>"

Then set the default supermarket in your Berksfile's Cookbook:

Setting the default Chef supermarket for Berkshelf

source artifactory: 'https://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/chef/chef-virtual'

Then you can execute the berks command to download the required dependencies from Artifactory:
