#### Getting Started | ||
To bootstrap a consul cluster follow the following steps: | ||
1. Bootstrap a few (preferablly 3 nodes) to be your consul servers, these will be the KV masters. | ||
2. Put `node['consul']['servers'] =["Array of the bootstrapped servers ips or dns names"]` in your environment. | ||
2. Apply the consul cookbook to these nodes with `node['consul']['service_mode'] = 'cluster'` (I put this in this in a CONSUL_MASTER role). | ||
3. Let these machines converge, once you can run `consul members` and get a list of all of the servers your ready to move on | ||
4. Apply the consul cookbook to the rest of your nodes with `node['consul']['service_mode'] = 'client'` (I put this in the environment) | ||
5. Start added services and checks to your cookbooks. | ||
6. If you want to get values out of consul to power your chef, curl localhost:8500/v1/kv/key/path?raw in your cookbook. | ||
