Platform Details

CentOS 7.2

Scenario:

I'm trying to configure chef server ha cluster based on last https://docs.chef.io/install_server_ha.html.
The leader node I'm configuring with chef_ingredient 'chef-backend' and it starts as I need.
The question is how can I join the second node to the leader? Of course, I can do it with execute like

execute 'chef-backend-ctl join-cluster IP --accept-license --yes --verbose'

but may exist some other more native way, based on chef-ingredient? Please advice.

There is currently no native support for chef-backend-ctl. However, I like the idea. Perhaps we can add chef-backend support similar to the omnibus_service resource. For now, I suggest continuing with what you have.
