Overview

Installs Greg Neagle's Reposado (https://github.com/wdas/reposado) on an Ubuntu server. Reposado is an open-source macOS Software Update Server.

Module Description

This module sets up syncing of macOS updates through Reposado, and, optionally, an Apache vhost to allow for replication of those updates.

Setup

What reposado affects

• Make sure base_dir is large enough to be able to hold all updates (my server is currently holding 232 Gb worth of updates).
• reposado::apache_vhost includes puppetlabs/apache.

Beginning with reposado

Minimal usage:

class { 'reposado': }

If you wish to enable the Apache vhost, you need to include the reposado::apache_vhost class:

class { 'reposado::apache_vhost': }

Usage

Example configuration through hiera:

reposado::base_dir: '/var/www/reposado'
reposado::document_root: "%{hiera('reposado::base_dir')}/html"
reposado::git_ensure: 'latest'
reposado::apple_catalogs:
  - '10.10'
  - '10.11'

reposado::apache_vhost::document_root: "%{alias('reposado::document_root')}"
reposado::apache_vhost::apple_catalogs: "%{alias('reposado::apple_catalogs')}"

Reference

The module uses puppetlabs/vcsrepo to clone https://github.com/wdas/reposado.
