[katello] Adding ISOs to repository

Ignacio_Bravo · June 9, 2015, 12:19pm

Good morning.

I have been running katello for a while using yum repositories, and I have
used the functionality to add rpm packages to a repository.

Now my question is: Can I also add ISO files to a repo? I tried yesterday
with a new repository and it was not successful. Can this be done? Is there
any special configuration to use?

I am trying to included a couple of regularly used ISO images to katello so
they don't have to be scattered throughout the network.

Thanks,
IB

Hi Ignacio,

I don't think so because the type options for a repository are yum, puppet
and docker.

Regards,

Fernando

I was trying to replicate something similar to the isos directory that we can find in a regular repo, as the one from Centos for example:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7.1.1503/ <http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7.1.1503/>

It would have been nice to include it as well. If I can’t do it, as you mention, I guess I’ll need to make a feature request then.

Satellite 6 has a file repository type that is available to sync ISOs from
your Red Hat Subscriptions. This doesn't appear to be possible to create
manually by hand inside of a product, however.

Perhaps that code can be exposed?

You are right. A quick google search pointed me to version 2.2 of pulp, that supports the creation of ISO repositories:

https://pulp-rpm-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/pulp-2.2/isos.html

Now we just need to find a way to expose it through the katello interface.

Some feedback on this:

I had to install pulp-rpm-admin-extensions to enable the functionality described in my prior email.

yum install pulp-rpm-admin-extensions

After that, I got an error on the creation of the repository:

[root@katello .pulp]# pulp-admin iso repo create --repo-id LTG_isos --serve-http true 
Warning: path should have mode 0700 because it may contain sensitive information: /root/.pulp/

The server indicated one or more values were incorrect. The server provided the
following error message:

   The configuration parameter &lt;feed&gt; is required when any of the following
other parameters are defined: max_speed, max_downloads, proxy_password,
proxy_port, proxy_host, proxy_username, remove_missing, ssl_ca_cert,
ssl_client_cert, ssl_client_key, validate.

More information can be found in the client log file ~/.pulp/admin.log.

Looking at the client log file, it complains about not having a <feed> basis.

2015-06-09 22:17:01,640 - ERROR - Exception occurred:
    	href:      /pulp/api/v2/repositories/
    	method:    POST
    	status:    400
    	error:     The configuration parameter &lt;feed&gt; is required when any of the following other parameters are defined: max_speed, max_downloads, proxy_password, proxy_port, proxy_host, proxy_username, remove_missing, ssl_ca_cert, ssl_client_cert, ssl_client_key, validate.
    	traceback: None

This should not be the case, as we are not be the case, as the code is specifically mentioned in this way in the Pulp documentation:

https://pulp-rpm-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/pulp-2.2/isos.html <https://pulp-rpm-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/pulp-2.2/isos.html> (Look into Uploading ISO to a repository)

Additionally, there was a bug reported in bugzilla about something similar, that was fixed in 2.3 and my version is 2.6

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=1019455 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=1019455>

[root@katello .pulp]# rpm -qa | grep pulp-server
pulp-server-2.6.0-1.el6.noarch

Ideas?
