In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Munki on Clear Linux. Munki is a powerful open-source management tool that can be used to manage software and perform other tasks on macOS systems.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following things installed:
Before we install Munki, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic git -y
This command installs Python 3, git and other basic dependencies that are required for Munki.
The next step is to clone the Munki repository from GitHub. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/munki/munki.git /usr/local/munki
This command will clone the Munki repository into the /usr/local/munki directory.
We will now install Munki using the installation script. Run the following command in your terminal:
/usr/local/munki/install-munki.sh
This command will initiate the installation process, and you will be asked to provide some information about the installation. This includes the Munki repository URL, the manifest name, and the Munki server's IP address.
After providing this information, the installation process will begin. Once the installation is complete, you will see a message that Munki has been installed successfully.
To verify that Munki has been installed correctly, run the following command:
sudo /usr/local/munki/managedsoftwareupdate
This command will run Munki's managed software update tool, and you should see a list of available updates.
Munki is a powerful management tool that can be used to manage software on macOS systems. In this tutorial, we have demonstrated how to install Munki on Clear Linux. By following these steps, you should now have Munki installed and running on your Clear Linux system.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
