Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amidaware/tacticalrmm/issues/86

Example:

When installing Citrix Workspace Tacticalrmm shows old version and redirects to a newer version on Chocolatey.
The install command is Command line: "C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey\choco.exe" install citrix-workspace --version 19.11.0.50 --no-progress --yes

Wat is the version number in TacticalRMM but not in Chocolatey. Is there a way to update the repository?

Hi so yea when you first install tacticalrmm it uses this file https://github.com/wh1te909/tacticalrmm/blob/develop/api/tacticalrmm/software/chocos.json
to seed the database with an initial list of software, I created that file a long time ago so that's why versions are old.

There is a background job that runs every night at 4am, it will basically pick one agent that's online at random and run a chocolately list command to get the latest software versions from chocolately's website, and then update the database, for example here is what mine looks like

If you want to manually update the chocolatey database you can do this (this is what runs every night around 4am)

cd /rmm/api//tacticalrmm/
source ../env/bin/activate
python manage.py shell

from software.tasks import update_chocos
update_chocos.delay()

Then wait a bit and it should update software list.
