# Set Up Chef Server (General)
|
|
|
|
Chef Software, Inc., the company behind Chef, offers managed hosting of Chef Server ("Hosted Chef"), but we advise against using that. A BigchainDB cluster is supposed to be decentralized, and it wouldn't be very decentralized if all the nodes used Hosted Chef.
|
|
|
|
Below are some ways to set up Chef Server, starting with the easiest.
|
|
|
|
* If you intend to host your node on AWS, then see [the page about setting up Chef Server on AWS](setup-chef-server-aws.html).
|
|
|
|
* If your hosting provider has a marketplace of images/snapshots (akin to AWS Marketplace), then search for "Chef" there.
|
|
|
|
* Do a web search for "Chef Server \<name of your hosting provider\>" and see what comes up.
|
|
|
|
* Bootstrap the installation of Chef Server using Chef-Solo and the chef-server cookbook. The instructions are in the "Install Methods" section of [the chef-server cookbook page in Chef Supermarket](https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/chef-server).
|
|
|
|
* Follow the official Chef tutorial: [Install and configure Chef server using your hardware or cloud provider](https://learn.chef.io/install-and-manage-your-own-chef-server/linux/install-chef-server/install-chef-server-using-your-hardware/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
When done, make sure your installation of Chef Server is consistent with the official Chef documentation titled [Install Chef Server](https://docs.chef.io/install_server.html).
