Raw Blame History

Goal

We need fleetctl package functionality to generate all types of packages (PKG, MSI, DEB and RPM) from Linux.

How

Create a new Docker image fleetdm/fleetctl that will contain fleetctl and all the dependencies ready to create packages.

Users can then use the image to generate packages

$ docker run ... fleetdm/fleetctl:latest package --type={pkg|msi|deb|rpm} ...

DEB and RPM

DEB and RPM package generation is already native and no extra dependencies are required (uses https://github.com/goreleaser/nfpm).

MSI

Packaging

We will need the same dependencies from fleetdm/wix:latest on the new fleetdm/fleetctl:latest image.

Signing (stretch goal)

For .msi signing functionality:

  • The relic tool seems to allow .msi signing (in Pure Go).
  • Alternatively, the osslsigncode tool could be embedded on the image.

This is mentioned as a stretch goal because we currently don't have .msi signing functionality in fleetctl package.

PKG

Packaging

To generate a .pkg we will need the same dependencies from fleetdm/bomutils:latest on the new fleetdm/fleetctl:latest image.

Signing

The relic tool seems to allow .pkg signing (in Pure Go).

Notarization

Upload

We can implement a Go package that uses the new Notary API to upload and notarize a .pkg (pure Go solution).

No Stapling

The Notary API currently does not offer a way to "staple" a package, and the stapler tool that allows this is only available on macOS. It seems stapling is recommended but not a must, see #116812.
