[chef] RE: Re: fqdn and Chef Server

["Kadel-Garcia, Nico" < >]

I’d actually recommend using IP’s for the chef server, in general. If your DNS is managed from chef, and accidentally fails due to a misconfiguration, it can be very awkward to get chef-client to run on the messed up DNS server to clear the problem without this.

Hi David ,

           

             yes,it is possible to use ip address without use of fqdn name and setup your chef server.

Thanks,

Hi!

At work we want to setup a Chef server but we don't have DNS servers 
that we can touch and so we work with IP addresses. Can the Chef 
server work with an IP address instead of a fqdn?

Thanks,
