Problem:
Hi, we’re looking consolidate a number of local repositories from multiple local servers into Foreman, is this possible? would we need to set the upstream URL of a product to the NFS server which the content?
The reason this is needed is due to us not having a satellite license for Redhat and therefore cannot leverage manifests so we need to use different servers running RHEL6, RHEL7 and RHEL8 to download repos in order to patch our estate. if anyone has an alternative solution to this problem, please let me know.
@mcorr - it seems that i’m not able to locate the package as described in the instructions: python-pulp-manifest. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I’m chasing down an answer as to whether it’s a doc fix or a feature that needs to be updated. Looking through the issues confused me. I’ll update once I find out.
@DanF we reopened this ticket https://pulp.plan.io/issues/9289
and have requested that it is published to PyPI, so the Katello team can then package it.
There is a workaround that involves cloning the https://github.com/pulp/pulp_file/ repo and then a few more steps to get things up and running. If you’re willing to implement the workaround, I can get the steps for you?
If not, I’ll watch this ticket and can write to you when there’s an update.
