## Requirements
To work with the Chef package registry, you have to use [`knife`](https://docs.chef.io/workstation/knife/).
## Authentication
The Chef package registry does not use an username:password authentication but signed requests with a private:public key pair.
Visit the package owner settings page to create the necessary key pair.
Only the public key is stored inside Gitea. if you loose access to the private key you must re-generate the key pair.
[Configure `knife`](https://docs.chef.io/workstation/knife_setup/) to use the downloaded private key with your Gitea username as `client_name`.
## Configure the package registry
To [configure `knife`](https://docs.chef.io/workstation/knife_setup/) to use the Gitea package registry add the url to the `~/.chef/config.rb` file.
