Xolo is an HTTPS server and set of command-line tools for macOS that provide automatable access to the software deployment and patch management aspects of Jamf Pro and the Jamf Title Editor

About

Xolo is an automatable, commandline software deployment and patch-management system built on top of Jamf Pro and the Jamf Title Editor from JAMF Software.

It adds these capabilities and more to Jamf Pro's package handling:

• Management of titles and versions is scriptable, allowing developers and admins to integrate with CI/CD workflows.
• Simplifies and standardizes the complex, multistep manual process of managing titles and patches using the Title Editor and Jamf Pro web interfaces
• Manual client installs can be performed remotely via ssh and/or MDM
• Automated pre-release piloting of new versions
• Titles can be expired (auto-uninstalled) after a period of disuse, reclaiming unused licenses.
• And more!

Xolo is a comprehensive wrapper around existing Jamf Pro and Title Editor functionality. Everything it does can be done manually in the Jamf Pro and Title Editor web interfaces or using the 'jamf' binary on client Macs. Xolo makes it easier, nay possible, to do these things at scale in an automated, standardized, and predictable way.

Xolo is made of 3 parts:

• 'xadm', a scriptable command-line tool for managing titles and versions.
• 'xoloserver', an HTTPS server that is the heart of Xolo, sitting between xadm, the Title Editor and Jamf Pro.
• 'xolo', a command-line tool that runs on managed Macs to perform installs, uninstalls, and other tasks.

The Xolo Server interfaces with Jamf Pro via its REST APIs using ruby-jss. For access to the Title Editor API, it uses windoo
