NAME
       knife-serve - The man page for the knife serve subcommand.

       The  knife  serve  subcommand  is  used	to  run a persistent chef-zero
       against the local chef-repo. (chef-zero is a  lightweight  Chef	server
       that  runs in-memory on the local machine.) This is the same as running
       the  chef-client	 executable  with   the	  --local-mode	 option.   The
       chef_repo_path  is  located automatically and the Chef server will bind
       to port 8900 by default. knife serve will print the URL for  the	 local
       Chef server, so that it may be added to the knife.rb file.

       Syntax

       This subcommand has the following syntax:

	  $ knife serve (options)

       Options

       This subcommand has the following options:

       -c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
	      The configuration file to use.

       --chef-zero-port PORT
	      The port on which chef-zero will listen.

       -d, --disable-editing
	      Use  to prevent the $EDITOR from being opened and to accept data
	      as-is.

       --defaults
	      Use to have Knife use the default value instead of asking a user
	      to provide one.

       -e EDITOR, --editor EDITOR
	      The $EDITOR that is used for all interactive commands.

       -E ENVIRONMENT, --environment ENVIRONMENT
	      The name of the environment. When this option is added to a com‐
	      mand, the command will run only against the named environment.

       -F FORMAT, --format FORMAT
	      The output format: summary (default), text, json, yaml, and pp.

       -h, --help
	      Shows help for the command.

       -k KEY, --key KEY
	      The private key that Knife will use to sign requests made by the
	      API client to the Chef server.

       --[no-]color
	      Use to view colored output.

       --print-after
	      Use to show data after a destructive operation.

       -s URL, --server-url URL
	      The URL for the Chef server.

       -u USER, --user USER
	      The  user	 name  used  by Knife to sign requests made by the API
	      client to the Chef server. Authentication will fail if the  user
	      name does not match the private key.

       -v, --version
	      The version of the chef-client.

       -V, --verbose
	      Set for more verbose outputs. Use -VV for maximum verbosity.

       -y, --yes
	      Use  to  respond	to  all confirmation prompts with "Yes". Knife
	      will not ask for confirmation.

       -z, --local-mode
	      Use to run the chef-client in local mode. This allows  all  com‐
	      mands that work against the Chef server to also work against the
	      local chef-repo.
