Tart-in-a-package

Tart is now available as a signed, notarized, versioned .PKG for easier deployment

Background

On 20-Jul-2022, Richard opened Issue No. 153, requesting an Apple installer package and today Cirrus Labs delivered.

Jamf Pro Configuration

Extension Attribute

The following Jamf Pro Extension Attribute will return the installed version of Tart.

(Note: This looks for the .PKG-installed version of Tart, not the version installed via Homebrew.)

Script

#!/bin/sh
#################################################################
# A script to determine the installed version of Tart.          #
# If the binary is not found, "Not Installed" will be returned. #
#################################################################

RESULT="Not Installed"

if [ -f "/usr/local/bin/tart" ] ; then
	RESULT=$( /usr/local/bin/tart --version )
fi

/bin/echo "<result>${RESULT}</result>"

exit 0

Smart Group

We only want our opt-in Beta Testers with Jamf Pro Compliant Computers to be able to run our Tart policy, so our Smart group may have more criteria that you’ll need:

AND / OR		CRITERIA	OPERATOR	VALUE
		Tart	is not	0.25.2
and		Architecture Type	is	arm64
and	(	Computer Group	member of	All Jamf Pro Compliant Computers
and		Computer Group	not member of	Testing: None	)

Policy

Our Jamf Pro Policy may include more options than you’ll need; the critical elements are:

• Frequency: Ongoing
• Scope: Update Smart: Tart

Self Service

Make the policy available in Self Service (and optimally include a link to my earlier post in the description):

Tart is a virtualization toolset to build, run and manage macOS and Linux virtual machines on Apple Silicon.
