Is it safe to run Chef server on Ubuntu 15.10? Have anyone tried?

If not, that when you plan to support it?

Yep! Works fine. I’d be sure to install from downloads.chef.io though.

Yup. I run chef on wily, along side the systemd cookbook. So far no issues
specific to 15.10

@jjasghar and @Ranjib thank you for your replies. Have you tried to install push jobs and/or reports? As when try to re-configure (sudo opscode-push-jobs-server-ctl reconfigure) one of these I get following error:

`

Sequence of commands I run:
sudo chef-server-ctl install opscode-push-jobs-server sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure sudo opscode-push-jobs-server-ctl reconfigure

I think it due initctl which is upstart which was removed in 15.04? Have you faced same problem and how you overcome/workaround it?
