default directory for Chef Workstation on Windows #297

Closed awittner closed 2 years ago

Step 3 - for multimachine on windows - lists an older default directory location. according to current chef workstation doc: " installer uses the C:\opscode\chef-workstation\ directory. " see: https://docs.chef.io/workstation/install_workstation/

C:\chef-repo is no longer default.

Hi @awittner,

The C:\opscode\chef-workstation\ directory is where the installer\executable files resides for Chef Workstation (chef-client, chef-apply, etc), whereas the C:\chef-repo is a separate directory that can be created to place the cookbooks, roles, environment files etc. You don't have to use C:\chef-repo as you can really place the cookbooks anywhere. The reason the doc suggests C:\chef-repo is because I believe this is the default location the starter kit (chef-starter.zip) from the free hosted Chef Server gets extracted to.

Thanks, Cameron K.
