xolo-server 1.0.0

Xolo

Xolo (sorta pronounced ‘show-low’) is an HTTPS server and set of command-line tools for macOS that provide automatable access to the software deployment and patch management aspects of Jamf Pro and the Jamf Title Editor. It enhances Jamf Pro’s abilities in many ways:

- Management of titles and versions/patches is scriptable and automatable, allowing developers and admins to integrate with CI/CD workflows.
- Simplifies and standardizes the complex, multistep manual process of managing titles and patches using the Title Editor and Patch Management web interfaces.
- Client installs can be performed by remotely via ssh and/or MDM
- Automated pre-release piloting of new versions/patches
- Titles can be expired (auto-uninstalled) after a period of disuse, reclaiming unused licenses.
- And more!

“Xolo” is the short name for the Mexican hairless dog breed ‘xoloitzcuintle’ (show-low-itz-kwint-leh), as personified by Dante in the 2017 Pixar film Coco.

The xolo-server gem packages the code needed to run ‘xoloserver`, the sinatra-based HTTPS server at the heart of Xolo.
