PROGRAM:
NAME
knife-serve - The man page for the knife serve subcommand.
The knife serve subcommand is used to run a persistent chef-zero against the local
chef-repo. (chef-zero is a lightweight Chef server that runs in-memory on the local
machine.) This is the same as running the chef-client executable with the --local-mode
option. The chef_repo_path is located automatically and the Chef server will bind to the
first available port between 8889 and 9999. knife serve will print the URL for the local
Chef server, so that it may be added to the knife.rb file.
Syntax
This subcommand has the following syntax:
$ knife serve (options)
