Homebrew
Automated Unattended Uninstall? #3454
-
|
Is there a way to uninstall homebrew in an automated way? For example, the EC2 Mac instances come pre-installed with brew. However, some organizations forbid brew to be installed. I would want a way to automate the uninstallation of brew when creating an AMI with something like packer. The issue that I see that might arise is that you are prompted for a password during uninstall. How would you bypass that? |

I've never done it on install either. You have an example? |

As it turns out, the user that is logged in upon AMI creation doesn't require the sudo password. I tested it by using a packer shell provisioner and called a script that just runs the uninstall command. I just had to pass the command the 'y' to make sure it skips that interactive prompt. It uninstalled successfully when the provisioner ran the command. 🙂 |
