I set up <strong>Chef</strong> to store server configs as code — a Chef server, a workstation where I write recipes, and a node that pulls its config automatically.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> I did this on <strong>Ubuntu 18.04</strong> using <code>.deb</code> packages and <code>apt</code>.</p> <h2 id="chef-server">Chef Server</h2> <p>The Chef server acts as the central hub for all workstations and nodes under Chef management. Configuration changes made on workstations are pushed to the Chef server, where they are pulled by nodes using <code>chef-client</code> to apply the configurations.</p>
