It is not fully reliable due to a required dependence on the internet at runtime. Create packages with resources embedded in the package - this makes for reliable, repeatable use of Chocolatey (the community repository must download at runtime due to being publicly available which means distribution rights, internal use is not subject to distribution rights).Configure Chocolatey clients for internal use - config and removal of community package repository source.Bring all external packages you need in and internalize (not cache) any that download anything at runtime.Set up one or more internal repositories.We also have steps in this walkthrough that deal with environments that are air gapped (no access to the internet).Ĭhocolatey best practices for organizations / internal use: This walkthrough will provide you everything you need to get setup.

Our goal is to get you up-and-running quickly, and testing out the feature set.įor a more complete reference of possible scenarios and solutions, please stick to this guide.Īnother thing we provide is a Quick Deployment Environment that has already taken care of everything here and also setting up the automation for package internalizer with Jenkins (covered at Automate Package Internalizer).

It illustrates only one method of setting up your Chocolatey environment, and is by NO means exhaustive. This is intended for customers who have recently purchased Chocolatey for Business (C4B), or are evaluating C4B as part of a proof-of-concept.
