Has anyone tried combining Chocolatey with something like Salt yet?

How did we manage this:

All Minions? showing 485 Minions?

I'm still a little bit salty about the whole thing.

Do you guys use Chocolatey on your servers or just workstations?

Workstations, but I could on the servers, but I don't deploy most of this junk to a server.

I do use it on servers, just the list is much smaller.

Typically

• zerotier-one
• 7zip
• notepadplusplus
• greenshot

Everywhere It is the installer for some server components too, like SSH.

You mean this:

https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.chocolatey.html#salt.modules.chocolatey.install

salt '*' chocolatey.install <package name> install_args=<args> override_args=True

The only other package that I install additionally to what has been listed is Adobe Air as it is used extensively where we work.

There's a name that I have not heard in a long time.

Yes, we use proprietary Crestron equipment which the controller requires Adobe Air.

Weird. I had no idea that Adobe still supported that.

[scottalanmiller]

Im' not surprised that they do, it's just been so long that I forget that it was a thing.

[scottalanmiller]

Oh they don't, that makes more sense.

Yes, they do. It is hard since Crestron has been using Adobe Air since 2012 and although the Xpanel has progressed is not their own software as opposed to earlier than that in 2010-2011 where their Xpanel had an actual Executable that would load a Visio document for the location. (I don't want to derail this conversation)...

For Windows and Mac they do though. Another software that uses it is Codex.

Their "for other platforms" link is broken, though
