A template repository for teams to fork and customize Boxen, a Puppet-based framework for automating macOS workstation setup. It bootstraps a machine with development tools and team-standard configuration via a single script.
Use cases
- automate mac development machine setup for a new team member
- provision developer workstations with puppet
- standardize team macbook configuration
- bootstrap a mac with xcode, homebrew, and dev tools
- manage company-wide osx laptop configuration as code
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy macOS fleet already provisioned with Boxen
- you need Puppet-based declarative macOS setup and are comfortable with archived tooling
When to avoid
- you are starting a new macOS provisioning project - the project was archived in 2018
- you need cross-platform (Linux/Windows) machine provisioning
- you want a modern alternative like Nix, Ansible, or MDM-based tooling
