Upgrading To Munki2 - munki/munki GitHub Wiki

This is legacy documentation, not applicable for recent versions of Munki.

Introduction

Upgrading to Munki 2 is easy. You don't have to make any changes on your server if you don't want to. Later, if you add Munki 2-specific data to your Munki server, any clients running Munki 1 will simply ignore the extra data. Munki (1) and Munki 2 clients can co-exist and use the same server.

Details

  • Start by upgrading a few clients with the Munki 2 tools. See here https://munkibuilds.org for the latest versions.
  • Munki (1) can install the Munki 2 tools. Just import them as you would previous versions of Munki.
  • If you use AutoPkg (and you should) add the autopkg/recipes repo and use the munkitools2.munki recipe to import the new tools into your Munki repo.
  • Start importing icons into your Munki repo. See Product Icons for more info.
  • Add category and developer info to your pkginfo files. Focus initially on items in optional_installs (if you have any).
