Fleetd Chrome Extension

Packaging the extension locally

Generate a .pem file to be the key for the chrome extension.

(In parent dir) Run the following command to generate an extension.

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --pack-extension=./fleetd-chrome --pack-extension-key=path/to/chrome.pem

Adding Chrome to Fleet

To learn how to package and add hosts to Fleet, visit: https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/enroll-hosts#enroll-chromebooks.

Debugging

Service worker

View service worker logs in chrome://serviceworker-internals/?devtools (in production), or in chrome://extensions (only during development).

Manual Enroll

Steps 1 and 2 can be performed on your workstation. Step 3 and 4 are to be executed on the target Chromebook.

  1. Create your .env file:

IMPORTANT: The address in FLEET_URL must have a valid TLS certificate.

echo 'FLEET_URL="https://your-fleet-server.example.com"' >> .env
echo 'FLEET_ENROLL_SECRET="<your enroll secret>"' >> .env

To test with your local Fleet server, you can use Tunnelmole or ngrok.

Tunnelmole:

tmole 8080

ngrok:

ngrok http https://localhost:8080
  1. Build the "unpacked extension":
npm install && npm run build

The above command will generate an unpacked extension in ./dist.

  1. Send the ./dist folder to the target Chromebook.

  2. In the target Chromebook, go to chrome://extensions, toggle Developer mode and click on Load unpacked and select the dist folder.

Testing

Run tests

npm run test

Release

  1. Update CHANGELOG.md by running version="X.X.X" make changelog-chrome
  2. Review CHANGELOG.md
  3. Run npm version X.X.X to update the version in package.json and package-lock.json
  4. Update updates.xml and updates-beta.xml versions.
  5. Commit the changes and tag the commit with fleetd-chrome-vX.X.X-beta. This will trigger the beta release workflow.
  6. Once the beta release is tested and PR merged, tag the commit with fleetd-chrome-vX.X.X. This will trigger the release workflow.
  7. Announce the release in the #help-engineering channel in Slack.

Release a new version via GitHub automation. Update the package.json and updates.xml versions, then tag a commit with fleetd-chrome-vX.X.X to kick off the build and deploy. The build is automatically uploaded to R2 and properly configured clients should be able to update immediately when the job completes. Note that automatic updates seem to only happen about once a day in Chrome -- Hit the "Update" button in chrome://extensions to trigger the update manually.

Beta releases

Beta releases are pushed to https://chrome-beta.fleetdm.com/updates.xml with the extension ID bfleegjcoffelppfmadimianphbcdjkb.

Kick off a beta release by updating the package.json and updates-beta.xml versions, then tag a commit with fleetd-chrome-vX.X.X-beta to kick off the build and deploy.
