knife serve
Use the
knife serve subcommand to run a persistent chef-zero against
the local chef-repo. (chef-zero is a lightweight Chef Infra Server that
runs in-memory on the local machine.) This is the same as running the
Chef Infra Client executable with the --local-mode option. The
chef_repo_path is located automatically and the Chef Infra Server will
bind to the first available port between 8889 and 9999.
knife serve will print the URL for the local Chef Infra Server, so
that it may be added to the config.rb file.Syntax
