As prepackaged chef-server is not available for PLD Linux, let's try to build the omnibus package ourself.

Suggestion is to run this in a Vagrant box, that you can discard later as the gems are installed outside rpm package manager.

You need more space to build and install:

# lvextend --size=3G /dev/sys/rootfs
# xfs_growfs /

Install packages:

# poldek -u --noask ruby-bundler git-core ruby-devel glibc-devel libffi-devel libstdc++-devel patch bzip2 lsb-release rpm-build

Checkout omnibus-chef-server:

$ git clone https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-chef-server.git

Make bugfixes:

1. libiconv
2. makeself

       $ wget -O package-scripts/chef-server/makeselfinst https://raw.github.com/opscode/omnibus-chef/master/package-scripts/chef/makeselfinst

3. patch omnibus gem with omnibus-pld.patch

Install bundle binstubs:

$ cd omnibus-chef-server
$ bundle install --binstubs

Make cachedir so could run as non-root:

$ sudo install -o $USER -d /var/cache/omnibus /opt/chef-server

Create a platform-specific package using the build project command:

$ bin/omnibus build project chef-server

You may later preserve cache dirs to be shared with OS, add the mappings to your Vagrantfile

config.vm.synced_folder "cache/omnibus", "/var/cache/omnibus"
