Chef Supermarket
Chef Supermarket is the site for community cookbooks. It provides a searchable cookbook repository and a friendly web UI. Cookbooks that are part of the Chef Supermarket are accessible by any Chef user.
There are two ways to use Chef Supermarket:
- The public Chef Supermarket is hosted by Chef Software and is located at Chef Supermarket.
- A private Chef Supermarket may be installed on-premise behind the firewall on the internal network. Cookbook retrieval from a private Chef Supermarket is often faster than from the public Chef Supermarket because of closer proximity and fewer cookbooks to resolve. A private Chef Supermarket can also help formalize internal cookbook release management processes (e.g. “a cookbook is not released until it is published on the private Chef Supermarket”).
