Ok so I now understand that the Chef server (Chef 12 Enterprise v12.0.x in our case) is a Berks API server, so I created a berks-api organization to run as
my Berks API server. I then added this source line in my Berkshelf
source “https://chef-server.domain.com/organizations/berks-api”
Now when I do a berks install, I’m getting
Error retrieving universe from source: https:/chef-server.domain.com/organizations/berks-api
I’m obviously still missing a configuration step?

You set up the API server to point to whatever back ends have cookbooks you need. So one back end would be the repo(s) in your git server.

Oooops. I somehow entered the v2.0 Berkshelf docs without noticing...
Sorry for the disinformation :-/

chef_api in Berkshelf is deprecated. See

At this time I believe the Berkshelf API server or internal supermarket are required. We use Berkshelf API server and it works great.
