munki 3 Munkiimport --configure path to munki repo

[hunte...@gmail.com]

Hey
Im having some problems with the new Munki 3 "munkiimport --configure" cmd.


Munki 3 
When you write "munkiimport --configure" in this version you get this compared to version 2. 
I was expecting to get path to munki repo but i dont. Is this deprecated and not in use anymore in munki 3?

munkiimport --configure

Repo URL (example: afp://munki.example.com/repo): 

pkginfo extension (Example: .plist): 

pkginfo editor (examples: /usr/bin/vi or TextMate.app; leave empty to not open an editor after import):

Default catalog to use (example: testing): 

Repo access plugin (defaults to FileRepo): 

Munki 2

Path to munki repo (example: /Volumes/repo): /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo

Repo fileshare URL (example: afp://munki.example.com/repo): 

pkginfo extension (Example: .plist): 

pkginfo editor (examples: /usr/bin/vi or TextMate.app; leave empty to not open an editor after import): 

Default catalog to use (example: testing): 

When i then use this for Munki 3 and afterwards try to import a software i get the error message below.

 munkiimport --configure

Repo URL (example: afp://munki.example.com/repo): 

pkginfo extension (Example: .plist): 

pkginfo editor (examples: /usr/bin/vi or TextMate.app; leave empty to not open an editor after import): TextEdit.app

Default catalog to use (example: testing): testing

Repo access plugin (defaults to FileRepo):

munkiimport Downloads/Skype_7.49.274.dmg 

Could not get a list of existing items from the repo: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Volumes/catalogs/all'

it tries to import straight into the bottom of the harddrive/Volum it seems.

How can you solve this :)?
Is it just a munkiimport --configure bug or did i forget a step that is needed in Munki 3?

I tried using this but i then get the error below did i use the wrong command or where did i do the wrong command is probably a better question.

Repo URL (example: afp://munki.example.com/repo): file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo

pkginfo extension (Example: .plist): 

pkginfo editor (examples: /usr/bin/vi or TextMate.app; leave empty to not open an editor after import): TextEdit.app

Default catalog to use (example: testing): testing

Repo access plugin (defaults to FileRepo): 

server:~ hunted$ munkiimport Downloads/Skype_7.50.461.dmg 

Could not get a list of existing items from the repo: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/catalogs/all'

           Item name: Skype

[Gregory Neagle]

So does /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/catalogs/all exist?

Have you used the Munki 2 admin tools successfully against this repo?

TextEdit.app is a dangerous choice as a pkginfo editor unless you are very careful to keep it in plain text mode...

Hey sorry for the very delayed answer.

I tried the latest munki v3 5 beta but still having the same problems i tried .

munkiimport --configure

Repo URL (example: afp://munki.example.com/repo): file:////Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo 

pkginfo extension (Example: .plist): 

pkginfo editor (examples: /usr/bin/vi or TextMate.app; leave empty to not open an editor after import):

Default catalog to use (example: testing): 

Repo access plugin (defaults to FileRepo): 

But when i upgraded from Munki v2 to munki v3 beta 5 it worked.

The issue for me seems to be that i cant configure "Path to munki repo (example: /Volumes/repo):" inn munki v3 beta 5.

After what i understand "You will no longer be prompted for a repo path. The repo_path preference may be deprecated in the future -- I'm not sure it's needed any longer."
This will be removed so how will this be solved in V3 of Munki? Is it somewhere else you will set this setting or will it go somewhere by default and be hardcoded?

It's probably me not reading and understanding the documention correct so thats why im asking :)

Thank you so much and have a nice day.

With the Munki 3 command-line tools, you will not be prompted for a repo path because it will no longer be needed.

If you have a repo on your local disk, you'd use a Repo URL of "file:///path/to/the/local/repo".  If you have a repo available via a fileshare, you will provide a URL for the fileshare: "afp://my_munki_server/repo" or "smb://my_munki_server/repo" or "nfs://my_munki_server/repo". The tools will mount the fileshare and use the mounted path as the repo path.

I cant get this to work "If you have a repo on your local disk, you'd use a Repo URL of "file:///path/to/the/local/repo"."
I tried with:
file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo  
file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/catalogs

file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/catalogs/all

When i created the folders for the munki folders i did this.

1. mkdir /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo mkdir /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/catalogs mkdir "/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/Client_Resources" mkdir /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/pkgs mkdir /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/pkgsinfo mkdir /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/manifests mkdir /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/icons

2.  

   chmod -R a+rX /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo

[Gregory Neagle]

If your repo is available at a local path of /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo, then a Repo URL of "file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo" would be correct.

BTW "Client_Resources" is not the correct name for the client_resources directory...

Yeah after a few more tries i got it work with a clean munki version 3 beta 6 install  (not upgrading from munki v2)

This works: Repo URL (example: afp://munki.example.com/repo): file:///Volumes/macOS/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/

This didnt work: Repo URL (example: afp://munki.example.com/repo): file:///Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/

macOS is of course the name of the partition im using.

I was still missing the Volumes/macOS/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default/munki_repo/catalogs/all     File but i just copied file from a munki v2 install and then it worked with the commando utility.

not sure why i was missing the catalogs/all file but i did so thats life.

But at least i got a clean install munki version 3 beta x install working instead of having to upgrade from munki version 2.

Thanks i see that the guide i wrote for my self had the wrong folder name as you said so fixed that :)

The catalogs/all file is this suppost to be generated by itself when you run munki --configure since i was missing that i whondered why. :)

Thank you so much for the help :)

The catalogs files are generated when you run `makecatalogs`.
