[chef] Re: Re: Updating to Chef Server 11.8

that method most often works, but just note that it isn't how we test, and you won't be getting the same versions of c-libs, and won't necessarily have the same version of ruby and rubygems if that is all that you do.  you definitely will not have the same package as you get from downloading the official 11.8 version.

i use that trick all the time to test stuff, but for production use we'd really prefer you install the official packages (particularly for anyone with paid support), since eventually you can wind up with a bit of a frankenstein install if you just keep up gem install'ing for upgrades..

`env -i /opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem install chef -v 11.8` should do.

first check if your existing cookbooks will run smooth against 11.8

What are the steps to update from Chef 11.4 to 11.8?  I thought I may just be able to download the debian package and run the install on it.  My only concern is losing what I currently have in Chef.
