[chef] Re: Where is the storage of cooknooks in Chef Server 10?

[Ranjib Dey < >]

yes cookbooks are stored in couch if you are using chef 10.x server. you can check the couchdb conf for their physical location (/etc/couchdb should have the config and /var/couchdb should have the data). By default couchdb is bound to 127.0.0.1 , and can not be accessed from outside the server, you can change that and make it bind to 0.0.0.0 and then hit couchdb directly from your browser and check the data inside its (chef is db name inside couch), but remember to revert back the setting as this will leave the couch insecure.

I am aware that you can check the existing cookbooks in the server using the

However, I want to check the exact location of the cookbooks in the server ,
say using the
# ls command.

But, I think the cookbooks are stored in the database which in my case is
CouchDB. Is there a way to check it directly?
