NetSUS 4 SUS setup

Hello all,

I'm wondering if anyone here could assist with NetSUS configuration either via gui or shell.
The JAMF and reposado's documentation does not help a lot. Jamf Nation search and google-fu did not help either.
NetSUS was installed from OVA.
We've installed NetSUS and I set up and created two branches. I ran manual sync and I can see in the dashboard that it downloads something beacuse DISK USAGE keeps increasing (14GB within 2 hrs). Also, it shows last sync Feb 21.25b54d3df406401ea059b0c1a9e21dc7

However, I still dont see any Apple updates present in NetSUS GUI neither in root nor in the branches sections.

Can someone shed a light on it? What this could be and what do I need to check to make sure the server works correctly.
Any advice would be much appreciated. thank you

Not to worry you won't see any patches until it has finished downloading everything and the catalog files are built. Depending on your download speed and the number of catalogs you've decided to sync the download can take a while as it will be upwards of ~250GB.

@BostonMac thank you. It was the case. It downloaded 150+GB. However, the latest sucatalog I had was Mavericks one only

I added 10.12 lines in reposado/preferences.plist and the relevant lines to apache2/../000-default. And I can see 10.12 sucatalog file. However, I dont see sucatalogs for branches yet. dd80666560fd40de91a5709222657a49
I assume I need to wait until sync is finished again. Am I correct?
Is there any way to download only updates above OS X 10.10.x to save space?
Also, is it correct that even if the depricated updates are purged after re-sync they will come back again?

Thank you
