Question

< seph> I looked at the issues open and closed and I don t think this has been asked before but would Kolide Launcher accept a change to give it the ability to update osquery extensions as well as the agent

seph · Answer

I m not sure I m not opposed in theory But I think it would be a surprisingly substantial and hard to do without larger rework of the update mechanism

seph · Answer

What kind of thing are you thinking about

Mike Myers · Answer

I m trying to understand how hard of a problem it would be but first I wanted to see if it was out of the question Sounds like it would be considered

seph · Answer

Yes but I d rather talk through it The updated code is gnarly I d might be willing to just add something but yeah

Mike Myers · Answer

Maybe I don t have a grasp of the requirements yet but I assume the basic need is to check for a new version of the existing extensions and replace them with new versions if such exist Are there some challenges you are already aware of

Mike Myers · Answer

Ok maybe I should look at what s there and find a time to talk through it with you later

Also inherent is that the update servers are notary+http And it assumes ours

Probably something else about how they get passed a long

seph · Answer

I m happy to chat though as I talk about it it sounds more and more like a large amount of code

seph · Answer

I wonder if I can see a way to get there incrementally

seph · Answer

Do y all run your own notary servers or are you using ours

Mike Myers · Answer

currently we don t have a Notary server right now we re just needing to get acquainted with how it might be done

we ll do our homework discuss maybe open a blueprint issue on the Launcher repo
