NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Enter your internal repository url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2)

4. Choose your deployment method:


choco upgrade halite -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade halite -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

Developer: Eóin O'Callaghan
Halite (named after the mineral) is a BitTorrent client based on Arvid Norberg's excellent libtorrent library from Rasterbar Software. The program also relies on the Boost libraries.

Features:
While still at an early state of development Halite is a functional BitTorrent client. So far its list of features is pretty standard but that is because I want to ensure it does the basic stuff well.

That said, it supports:

File selection and/or file priority specifications.
'Managed torrent' queue system.
Disk cache support.
Trackerless torrents (using the Mainline kademlia DHT protocol).
Magnet URIs.
Super-seeding.
uTorrent style multi-tracker announcement.
IP filtering with eMule style ipfilter.dat import.
Protocol Encryption support.
Translations of the UI into a number of languages through the help of volunteers. (if you wish to help with a translation then please do)
Minimise to tray with transfer rate summary.
Full Unicode support through UTF-8 and native Windows wide-char strings.
Login support where tracker requires it.
Ability to edit trackers specified in the torrent.
Transfer rate and connection limits both global and per-torrent.
Torrent file creation.
Port randomisation and forwarding (UnPlug and Play or NAT-PMP)
Compatible with UAC.
Shutdown scheduler.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
