Usage

First, set your Linode API key in an environment variable:

export LINODE_API_KEY='myrandomkey123123213h123bh12'

Then, create a .kitchen.yml file:

---
driver:
  name: linode

provisioner:
  name: salt_solo
  formula: vim
  state_top:
    base:
      "*":
        - vim

platforms:
  - name: debian_jessie

suites:
  - name: default

then you're ready to run kitchen test or kitchen converge

kitchen test

If you want to create a second yaml config; one for using Vagrant locally but another to use the Linode driver when run on your CI server, create a config with a name like .kitchen-ci.yml:

---
driver:
  name: linode

provisioner:
  name: salt_solo
  formula: vim
  state_top:
    base:
      "*":
        - vim

platforms:
  - name: debian_jessie

suites:
  - name: default

Then you can run the second config by changing the KITCHEN_YAML environment variable:

KITCHEN_YAML="./.kitchen-ci.yml" kitchen test

If you want to change any of the default settings, you can do so in the 'platforms' area:

# ...<snip>...
platforms:
  - name: debian_jessie
    driver:
      flavor: 2048
      data_center: Dallas
      kernel: 4.0.2-x86_64-linode56
      image: Debian 7
# ...<snip>...
