CHEF, how do you replace node.set / node.save in a solo chef?

Question

How do you change node.set/ node.savein a solo chef?

I use node.set / node.save in this example to execute certain commands on first run -> http://docs.opscode.com/essentials_cookbook_resources_first_run.html

But the chef is not node.set/ node.save. So what replaces this? How to keep constant flags in this example in the solo chef?

There is no persistence in Chef Solo (this is one of the main shortcomings). You should do something like this:

node.save unless Chef::Config[:solo]

You can still call node.setsafely, but this data is saved only in progress.
