Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download chocoshortcuts --internalize --version=0.1 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade chocoshortcuts -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'0.1'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade chocoshortcuts -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'0.1'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

See infrastructure management matrix for Chocolatey configuration elements and examples.
This package was approved by moderator digitaldrummerj on 01 Jul 2016.
Launch into various package management tasks via file shortcuts and command line menus.
Keep shortcuts for all your packages handy in a (portable) directory of your choice.
Think of it as a GUI of sorts, made of Windows shortcuts and PowerShell menus.
Upon installation, you'll find a "Chocolatey Shortcuts" folder on your desktop. You can rename or move the folder wherever you like, or keep it synced between computers in your Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.
To create shortcuts for packages, use "+Add Package Shortcuts". You'll find options to generate shortcuts individually, in bulk, or for all currently installed packages. You can use the search function to find package IDs.
Upon launching package shortcuts, you'll have options to install (if not installed), update (if available), or uninstall the package.
Check all installed packages for updates using "+Check for Package Updates". There, you can update multiple packages at once.
