Deployment Method:

NOTE

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

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

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


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • 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. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade choco-continuous-upgrader -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO 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 choco-continuous-upgrader -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

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

Exit $exitCode

Click here for secret GeekMode screenshot

This package is a pseudo replacement for choco-upgrade-all-at which is a pseudo replacement for choco-upgrade-all-at-startup. (Got that? There will be a pop quiz!) CCU is a result of my obsessive desire to keep my Chocolatey packages up-to-date.

DO YOU WANT TO UPGRADE YOUR CHOCOLATEY PACKAGES CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY?

YOU JUST FOUND THE EASIEST WAY!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

CCU starts a background PowerShell process which continuously checks FeedBurner for recently published Chocolatey packages. When locally installed packages are found in the feed, they are automatically upgraded.

CCU defaults to checking every 30 minutes, automatically upgrading packages, and no foreground notifications. These defaults are overridable and configurable; e.g. you could use CCU to just notify you of upgrades every hour without automatically installing them.

Install my choco-toast-notifications.hook to enable beautiful foreground toast notifications of package installs, upgrades, and uninstalls. If you plan to use CCU only for notifications of upgrades without having them automatically installed, I recommend using burnttoast-psmodule for those notifications.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

CCU -Start will start CCU with defaults or your preferences if you created a config file.
CCU -Stop to stop CCU.
CCU -Status will display CCU's running options and packages that have been upgraded or waiting to be upgraded since last check.
CCU -Notify (assumes -Start) will send foreground notifications of upgrades using either BurntToast or MSG.
CCU -NoUpgrades (assumes -Start) will check for upgrades but not automatically install them.
CCU -UpgradeAll (assumes -Start) runs 'choco upgrade all -y' before continuously checking for upgrades.
CCU -CreateConfig to set your preferences.
CCU -CreateTask to set CCU to run on bootup.
CCU -Help for more info.

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).

CHANGELOG:

  • 1.0.2 - fixed bug where $env:ChocolateyToolsLocation wasn't defined before use
  • 1.0.1 - Re-worded some status messages and added timestamp to last check. If the event WinRM fails to start for toast notifications MSG will now be used.
  • 1.0.0 - initial release

ROADMAP

  • Nothing planned.
  • It would be neat to make a tray app that replicates GeekMode...

This package has no dependencies.
