I was able to get the repo down to it’s current 37GB. I found it to be pretty straightforward and it worked exactly as expected. My Google searching right now is not showing up much from the Wiki. I didn’t document this and this was quite some time ago, so I’m not sure 100% what documentation I read on it. I used the repoclean cli tool that is part of the standard Munki install. Preppingįirst thing I did was slim down our Munki repo. If I were to buy a new server, a blinged out Mac Mini with 4 years of AppleCare+ for schools would cost $1800CAD. If I needed to grow it was relatively cheap, and the cost was predictable, unlike Amazon Web Services. I would get 1TB of data transfer/month and I think that would be more than enough. I could spend $10USD/month for 1TB of data from Wasabi for my 37GB Munki repo. No more certificate updates, no more MAMP, no more copy of MunkiAdmin not working properly. If I could put the server into the cloud, I wouldn’t have to worry about managing it. It was acting up in strange ways and couldn’t run the latest version of macOS. In addition to that, our server was in need of an update. While I’m hoping that we will be spending all of the 2021-2022 school year in our actual school, teachers do bring their MacBooks home and Munki will be running in the background and keeping their software up to date off site. In addition, Orlando asked me in #toronto on MacAdmins Slack if I was going to, and how can I say no? Why I did itĭuring the pandemic I found that it was a bit painful to get a new Mac up and ready to go out of the box for our teachers at home. I am not on the bleeding edge and others have done it, but I hit some roadblocks along the way and I couldn’t find good answers. I wasn’t originally planning to write a blog post about this.
