[Katello 2.4] Can I sync with a local repository?

Support
1

Currently our internet proxy is set in
/etc/pulp/server/plugins.conf.d/yum_importer.json. Consequently, an
attempt to sync with a repo on the local subnet, also gets sent to the
proxy. Is there a way round this?

Cheers,
Jamie.

Not that I can think of offhand, as this is a global setting. Within Pulp,
per repo proxies can be set and we have not gotten to that ticket yet.
Setting that on the repo in Pulp through Pulp admin might be a work around.

See [1], Pulp would need to implement this first. You may be able to
leverage ISS to achieve the same goal [2], Katello 3.0 should hit GA soon;
hopefully :wink:

Oh no, I was assuming I'd just missed something obvious.

OK, thanks for the thoughts (and to Sean too - I'll watch that ticket
and play with 3.0 when it goes solid).

I've an idea on how to fudge this and will report back if I get it to work.

In case this helps anyone else, I have installed squid on our Katello
server to get round this. Katello makes requests to squid, and squid
splits internal and external repo requests (which are sent to a cache_peer,
our proxy). Jamie.

Neat solution, I will note that with Katello 3.0 squid will be installed by
default as it is used for the deferred repository sync strategy. The
Katello feature request for supporting per repo proxies natively is at:

Is
