Deployment of environment by Chef after user registration?

Question

linux

There is a task: the user registers on the site and some environment is deployed under it. Create configs from templates, create a database, etc.
I have an idea how to write a recipe for all this, but it’s still not clear to me how to run this recipe for execution with the parameters entered by the user. Maybe someone already solved this problem?
So far, I see the solution only in generating a json file for the host with the necessary attributes and executing it through chef-solo. Or is there some other better solution?

Answer 1

Why is the json config option bad? I'm going to do the same.
