has anyone been able to get the fleet agent running on arch linux? one of my users is using pacman so the default rpm and deb installers wont work i think
k
I've heard second-hand accounts of people getting
fleetd
up and running on arch, but the official recommendation is to use plain osquery.
k
ah ok i will try that
we were able to use debtap to get this installed. surprised at how easy that was
k
Nice!

FWIW I'm using plain osquery on Arch. What did you get/want out of using fleetd?
k
im mainly looking to make sure my one colleague running arch has his disk encrypted and is running clamav for compliance purposes. looking to upgrade to premium for him to enforce OS updates as well
j
What do you mean by "enforce OS updates"?
IIRC osquery (and hence fleet) doesn't support pacman, so you probably would only get kernel version and maybe e.g. browser extensions
k
so jamf and intune download OS updates in the background for macos and windows and prompt the user to restart so they can be installed. i assume this probably won't work in my case for arch?
j
Well you could run
pacman -Syuw
in the background to download updates. But applying them 1. should always have user oversight. 2. almost never needs a restart
