Here is a video from PSU MacAdmins where I take a high level look at Munki, Docker and why you’d want to even try to get them to play nice with one another- or what better options for hosting your repo may be…
I love what the folks on the PSU MacAdmins team have been doing for the community, you can read more about them and the PSU MacAdmins conference here.
In my previous post I delved into getting a munki repo with ssl client-server cert protecting up and running on a docker host. You can read that here.
So the next step I wanted to get up and running next to it was the great tool Munkireport-PHP. More than likely if you are looking into docker as an option for a munki repo server you have some experience with munkireport-php as a reporting tool for your fleet. I am not endorsing this as the only way or even a preferred way- I just wanted to see what it looked like to get it up and running on a docker host- and it was super easy (in comparison to getting a munki repo configured and up and running).
The ustwo docker munki git repo has been removed, thanks to Clayton Burlison you can see a forked version here https://github.com/clburlison/docker-munki-ssl
This is a stumbling journey of a layman and how he got a proof of concept munki repo secured with ssl in some way on a docker host. Before this I knew little about docker, less about ssl/certs and had barely touched Ubuntu let alone a server version.
The end game: Have a Munki Repo that requires client side ssl certs for authentication (as a means to protect for un authorized access to a repo) and hosted in a docker environment (for easy maintenance and recreation of servers in multiple locations.
