munki server? munki client? munki webreports? …
Get an overview first. If you are already familiar with other MDM solutions, it is difficult to get an overview of munki at first, as it is not a monolithic system, but a collection of different solutions and approaches. A video by munki inventor Greg Neagle about the past, present and future of munki helped me to familiarize myself with the concept.
Roughly speaking, I would divide munki into three components; FileWave users will be familiar with this concept:
- Admin tools like munkiimport, makecatalogs, manifestutil
- Web server for the reports
- Client tools and settings
In the demo setup in munki wiki, a folder structure for a repository is also created first. The question now is whether it is also possible to start with other web solutions such as munkireport-php or SAL, which is based on Python.
