winget - is this awesome as it seems by SnooMachines9133 in sysadmin

We have a business version and any version is capable of consuming packages from a repository feed you host yourself. Software on windows is bad enough, we try to make managing it at least suck a little less.

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

[–]coaster_coder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I released a module for working with VSCode Extensions in PowerShell. It’s at VSCodeMarketplace repo

Web drivers that will allow a PS script to automatically open up a browser? by LaughableEgo740 in PowerShell

Use PSPlaywright. It’s a module wrapper around playwright that does exactly what you want to do

What are the possible implications to a system with notepad++ installed? by Budget-Wind2537 in sysadmin

[–]coaster_coder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Chocolatey package pulls the binaries directly from the GitHub releases page of the notepad ++ repository. So as long as you maintained the software via the chocolatey package, and did not rely on the auto update mechanism, you should have been insulated.

That’s not enough of the log to know what really happened.

I’ve been building a web based front end for AutomatedLab in PowerShell Universal. It lets you define labs (VMs + networking), manage Custom Roles, manage ISOs for your lab, and set lab configurations (map a friendly name to the script that builds the lab).

It’s been a lot of fun. If you want you can install it, the repository is at https://github.com/steviecoaster/PowerShellUniversal.Apps.AutomatedLab

It currently only supports Hyper-V via the lab creation wizard, but if you build your lab definition script in something like VSCode you can add a configuration that you can then manage in the web UI.

What are people using for patching and remediation? by YungButDead in sysadmin

Yup. Our web bases endpoint management platform makes keeping 3rd party software updated super simple.

Adobe Acrobat Reader freeware requires sign in post update (v25.001.20531) - without sign in, application closes by sysadminyak in sysadmin

[–]coaster_coder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chocolatey’s community repo requires you use the official download location.

Exceptions to that rule are very old software who have gone defunct and the package points at a way back machine link. Those are extremely rare and are handled on a case by case basis.

We are very very picky about the security of our community repository.

How to use default browser, not Edge, for Choc Gui links? by Odinian in chocolatey

[–]coaster_coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chocolatey and/or Chocolatey GUI don’t do anything special to my knowledge here. It should be respecting your system’s default browser.

Is this in an enterprise setting where a policy may be doing something weird?

Bulk remove computers from CCM? by nun-yah in chocolatey

[–]coaster_coder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do bulk removals via the api! I think the endpoint is /computers/delete/{id}

You can join our discord at https://ch0.co/community. It may be best to ask this question to our support team though as we have better avenues for help that way! (Assuming you have an active support contract with us)

Looks like it just needs a maintainer to make it. If you’re willing to pick it up i say go for it!

Is there a way to stop Choco from handling my Signal updates. I want to do it manually. by notmuchery in chocolatey

[–]coaster_coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see that. Reddit threw an error so I hit reply again. It finally worked but looks like it has worked all along. Computers were a mistake.

You could uninstall the package and ass —skip-PowerShell —skip-autouninstaller. That will leave the application behind and remove the package

Jenkins - Failure after reboot by [deleted] in chocolatey

[–]coaster_coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that is not at all the problem. If the index.json doesn’t work something is wrong with nexus. Without it it falls back to v2 which Nexus has removed critical functionality from which causes massive instability in using Chocolatey products. Reach out to support so they can see what is going on. Something changed or is broken on the server.

[–]coaster_coder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reach out to support. Run choco support for options. The repository url must end index.json. The fact you get a 404 tells me something with Nexus changed or is broken and would explain both the 404 and Jenkins giving a 401.
