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 port 8900 by default. 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)

       Options

       This subcommand has the following options:

       -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
              The configuration file to use.

       --chef-zero-port PORT
              The port on which chef-zero will listen.

       -d, --disable-editing
              Use to prevent the $EDITOR from being opened and to accept data
              as-is.

       --defaults
              Use to have Knife use the default value instead of asking a user
              to provide one.

       -e EDITOR, --editor EDITOR
              The $EDITOR that is used for all interactive commands.

       -E ENVIRONMENT, --environment ENVIRONMENT
              The name of the environment. When this option is added to a
              command, the command will run only against the named
              environment.

       -F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
              The output format: summary (default), text, json, yaml, and pp.

       -h, --help
              Shows help for the command.

       -k KEY, --key KEY
              The private key that Knife will use to sign requests made by the
              API client to the Chef server.

       --[no-]color
              Use to view colored output.

       --print-after
              Use to show data after a destructive operation.

       -s URL, --server-url URL
              The URL for the Chef server.

       -u USER, --user USER
              The user name used by Knife to sign requests made by the API
              client to the Chef server. Authentication will fail if the user
              name does not match the private key.

       -v, --version
              The version of the chef-client.

       -V, --verbose
              Set for more verbose outputs. Use -VV for maximum verbosity.

       -y, --yes
              Use to respond to all confirmation prompts with "Yes". Knife
              will not ask for confirmation.

       -z, --local-mode
              Use to run the chef-client in local mode. This allows all
              commands that work against the Chef server to also work against
              the local chef-repo.
