Always forget how much fun building stuff is. New #autopkg workflow is coming along nicely 🥳

Hey #MacAdmins, I created some #AutoPkg recipes for @rafa's new app HiDock.

"HiDock is an app that lets you set different Dock settings for different display configurations."

App details: https://hidock.app

Recipes here: https://github.com/autopkg/kevinmcox-recipes/tree/master/Rafael%20Conde

In the sequel to the #MacAdmins post I wrote about using #AutoPkg to deliver payloads for #outset, I discuss:

• using what Outset calls a Login-Once Override to force Outset to run an updated item on next login, and
• adding a postinstall script to your AutoPkg recipe so that you have a compact, all-in-one solution.

My last #MacAdmins blog post of the year is a deep dive into how I use an AutoPkg recipe to package up scripts that I want Outset to run (for example, to set a default configuration for the users in my computer labs):

Nice for some of our internal workflows.

Inspired by @Daz_Wallace’s post this weekend on how he deploys Adobe products with Jamf Pro, I wrote a complementary post on how I automate my #Adobe deployments with the help of #AutoPkg and #JamfUploader:

@Daz_Wallace Thanks for the post! I would be remiss not to recommend an alternative method of uploading to Jamf… #JamfUploader 😄 - with jcds_mode if you’re a Jamf Cloud customer. Although the packages need to be created manually, you can supply them into an #AutoPkg recipe with the --PKG argument. And JamfUploader will zip them up for you.

Also, for updating the apps, have you considered Adobe's RUM (remote update manager)?
