I have a Chef server that I need to move to a new physical server. From what
I understand replication/clustering is suppose to be somewhat simple in Chef
but I can’t find documentation on this.
I could get away in this instance with simply trying to manually copy over
/var/lib/couchdb and /etc/chef to the new server but it would be nice to use
this as a test for future cases where replication would be more appropriate.
Is there any documentation on this?
Thanks,
Tristan

We do "hot/warm" redundancy.
We replicate couch using normal couch replication. We use rsync for the
cookbooks (/var/chef/checksums). We rebuild the solr index once an our or
so on our "warm" box. The chef servers are managed by chef, so /etc/chef is
handled that way.
