Good morning,
I am unfortunately im new at Homebrew and hope here someone has experience with Jamf + Homebrew! Is it possible updates for programs like Firefox - Chrome etc. per Homebrew zuerteilen? I think of terminal commands that are distributed via Jamf! Does anyone have experience with this topic and can give me tips?
Question
Jamf Pro with Homebrew? possible for updates?

+6While technically possible I would not recommend it.
Homebrew is very single user focused. You'd have to cast every command as the user who installed/uses homebrew. Otherwise you would cause a lot of permission changes everytime. Also brew wouldn't event run in root context.
This is all by design. Not that I agree with their choices though.
+6What you can do is check out "Installomator" (https://github.com/scriptingosx/Installomator), which does something similar (in a way) and can be automated via Jamf Policies....
Bye, Fridolin.
+5Thanks for the reply, do you have an alternative how best to manage the updates of each program?!
