Initially Chef was available as the "Hosted" product and the an "Open Source" variant that was difficult to install and wasn't omnibus-ized and installed from O/S packages. The "Open Source" variant has always been the one that did not have any multi-org support, while Hosted always had multi-org support (obviously).

Private Chef was the first branding of shipping "Hosted Chef" with multi-org support to paying customers. It also led to omnibus-izing everything. That server installed to /opt/opscode and /var/opscode and used private-chef-ctl

With 11.x came the rebranding where "Private Chef" became "Enterprise Chef". In 11.x we also omnibus-ized the open source server. The Open Source variant (without auth) installed to /opt/chef-server and used chef-server-ctl. I believe that the paid "Enterprise Chef 11.x/EC11" still installed to /opt/opscode, i'm not certain when the ctl command for Private/Enterprise Chef changed to chef-server-ctl.

With 12.x it got a lot simpler. Now there's just the Chef Server and there's no distinction between Open Source and Private/Enterprise, there's just additional features (webui, analytics, etc) that require licensing, but the basic server is free (with auth and organizations). It looks like it still installs to "/opt/opscode".

So, I think the TL;DR is that if you've got /opt/opscode that you've got multi-org with auth. If you've got /opt/chef-server you've got Open Source 11.x. If you are just running out of the system directories then you have very old open source 10.x server.

Sorta like:

Open Source 10 Server (Packages) -> Open Source 11 Server (Omnibus) -> [ Abandoned ]

Hosted Chef -> Private Chef 1.x/10.x -> Enterprise Chef 11.x -> Chef Server 12.x

Forgive my ignorance, but, is "Enterprise" chef "hosted" chef? We run our own
chef servers. So I don't know if that means we run the "open source" version 
of
chef server.

If I upgrade our own chef servers from 11 to 12, will oc-id be supported?

I believe we started shipping oc-id with Enterprise Chef server 11.2. 11.1
probably won't work. Open Source Chef Server 11 definitely will not work,
since the authentication API is different.

You can run oc-id as a standalone Rails app with it's own Postgres
database, but that is strongly discouraged.

Hope that helps.

Hi. I'm exploring running a private Supermarket. tl;dr -- can I run oc-id
on our
chef 11.1.x server and point Supermarket at it? Or do I need to spend my
time
upgrading to chef server 12?

Thanks!

This doc suggests chef server 12 for oc-id, but doesn't say 11.x is out of
the
question:
https://www.chef.io/blog/2015/04/21/setting-up-your-private-supermarket-server/

This deprecated repo mentions chef server >= chef server 11.2:
https://github.com/chef/oc-id

I tried following the instructions in the doc, and added the config bit to
chef-server.rb:

chef-server]# tail -5 chef-server.rb
oc_id['applications'] = {
   'supermarket' => {
     'redirect_uri' => '
https://supermarket.redacted.internal/auth/chef_oauth2/callback'
   }
}

But, fail:
