Munki

💡   Note: Requires the Munki tools to be installed on the Mac running AutoPkgr.

To configure AutoPkgr to add updates directly into your Munki repository, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Integrations tab.

2. If Munki tools are not already installed, click on the Install Munki tools button. Enter your password if prompted.

3. Click on the Configure Munki tools... button, click Choose, and browse to your munki_repo (which can be on a mounted volume).

   

4. Click Save and Close.

You'll also want to make sure you have .munki recipes selected for each app you want to import. Once the new versions of apps appear in your Munki repo, you can add them to the appropriate catalogs and manifests to deploy them.

Once you have your .munki recipes selected, make sure to add MakeCatalogs.munki to your recipe list. MakeCatalogs is a special recipe that rebuilds your Munki catalogs after any items are imported.

Since the introduction of recipe trust information in AutoPkg 1.0, we recommend that you create an override of MakeCatalogs instead of running the recipe itself. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Filter the recipe list for MakeCatalogs.

2. Right-click on the recipe shown, and choose Create Override.

   

3. That's it! You only need to create that override once. AutoPkgr will automatically add the MakeCatalogs.munki recipe to the end of your recipe list and keep it there. You do not have to check the box to include the MakeCatalogs.munki in your schedule. It will be included automatically.
