PatchBot
by Tony Williams
PatchBot is a software system for providing up to date applications across a Mac fleet. It leverages AutoPkg, the Jamf patch management system, and Jamf API to build a total solution where applications are provided to the fleet without human intervention.
It is described in a number of blog posts:
- PatchBot - Zero-Touch Packaging and Patch Management
- PatchBot - Zero Touch Patch Management #2
- PatchBot #3
- PatchBot #4
You can find the components in three GitHub repositories
- PatchBotProcessors Three custom processors for AutoPkg
- PatchBotTools The other components
- PatchBotExamples Three example recipes
