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 date-reminder -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 date-reminder -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

Description

Date Reminder reminds you of recurring or nonrecurring events, like birthdays, bills to pay, appointments etc...

The program can be run from the Startup folder with an option to show only, if there are any alerts for this day. If Date Reminder is kept in the System Tray (optional), if will also alert you after standby or hibernation.

The reminders are listed in chronological order, with recurring events showing only once (the next one). This gives you an instant view of the alerts (at top), as well as a full list of all reminders. Other view modes: Alerts only, History.

Example

Features

  • Events may recur every year, month, week, day, or every 10 days, every 2 weeks, every 3 month etc.
  • For monthly or annual reminders you can preselect a specific day (e.g. "first monday") of the month
  • Reminders can be marked "done", i.e. "dealt with". Past events will remain in the list until they are marked "done".
  • A group symbol (column ::) is available to mark different types of events.
  • An advance notice marker can be set a number of days before an event.
  • An extra calendar box, sizable for one or more month, always highlights the date of the currently selected line.
  • Second text line with launching capability (shows in status bar): Double click to load a file, program, website etc., or just use it for additional text.
  • Date format according to the user's regional settings (a different format can be specified in the INI file).
  • The user interface is controlled by language files. English (default) and 20 other languages are included. Additional language files can be created. Unicode support.

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).
