Upman

UPdata MANager is used in conjunction with Upclid to display pending updates and reboots.

Working features

• displaying pending updates
• displaying pending reboots
• displaying locked packages
• display log of last update-run
• authenticating users via ldap (for actions, displaying works without login)
• authorizing users via ldap (simple group check)
• showing custom facts about systems (if custom facts are implemented)
• triggering updates runs
• triggering reboots
• panic button (abort all updates/reboot, that have not been started)
• optionally save ets tables to disk on shutdown (for hot cache / persistent persmissions&locks)

Currently plannend features

• (un)locking packages
• instead of authenticating clients: update-clearance includes list of reported updatetable packages. client only installs updates, if list matches.

Deploying Upman

• Install current erlang (i.e. from here
• copy upman.service to /etc/systemd/system/upman.service
• copy upman.toml to /etc/upman.toml and customize the ldap settings, port, etc.
• run mix deps.get to install dependencies
• run mix phx.digest to create compressed assets
• run MIX_ENV=prod mix release to create a release-package
• run tar -C /opt/upman -xzf _build/prod/upman-$version.tar.gz to install the release locally
