Linux and Mac agents

[dinger1986]

I know it's planned but something a lot of people have commented on so would be a good feature to add.

[unplugged216]

I understand the agents are under development. My curiosity though is where are they in the repos? I would certainly like to contribute if possible.

[dinger1986]

I think they are planned rather than underdevelopment. If you want to help or collaborate on this project worth chatting to the devs on discord.

I believe this is a 100 sponsor goal...so keep sponsoring!

[unplugged216]

Has there been any progress? Like I said, I would love to help

[unplugged216]

So,

I decided to fork the rmmagent repo and see whats up. I feel there may be a bit of work to this. I am really curious if work has been started. if so, may I know where to work? As far as I can tell, this may require a decent amount of adjustment to breakout OS support.

[silversword411]

@zharding I doubt work has been started on this yet. As this is a 100 sponsor goal, and I think the current count is half that, and other priorities are reporting and 1-2 other things to try and get to v1 release.

I'm sure if you wanted to build a Linux agent on your own and commit the work it would be welcomed though.

i'm still experimenting with the design so yes work has been started, not public yet until i finalize the design

[dinger1986]

I'm sure the status is still as above due to other development being carried out

+1 for a Linux client

I can perhaps offer my help, if needed, for the Linux part because Linux is my core competences :-)

[JSuenram]

+1

[plao]

[wh1te909]

Some error on freebsd/amd64 build

[wh1te909]

@Serenfo you will need to create build stubs for freebsd in order to compile or use golang build tags

[dinger1986]

@wh1te909 we can probably close this now

[wh1te909]

@dinger1986 yep lol thanks!
