[chef] RE: Re: Ports used....

[Ross Mohan < >]

Thanks, appreciate that. 

I found this doc, which helps:

http://docs.opscode.com/server_firewalls_and_ports.html

But the postgresql, couched, etc ports may be 'internal' as you describe -- 
localhost only. 

Did read somewhere that push jobs (if built and in use....) use high order 
ports, but can't find a good doc on this...

Only 443 is used for Chef, though the server listens on 80 by default as a 
convenience redirect. Everything is done via a REST API, so its all over a 
single port. More stuff is used internally, but those all only listen on 
localhost unless you are building a multi-server cluster for your Chef server.
