Problem:
Kickstart can’t generate CentOS8 repo for subscription-manager Repository
Foreman and Proxy versions:
1.23
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
6.0.3
I can provision CentOS 8 and CentOS 7 Server. But there haven’t any Foreman generate repo file in CentOS 8. So my CentOS 8 can’t use my local subscription-manager repos. Could you please advise, thank you.
This is my kickstart file, I just use the default setting
<%#
kind: provision
name: Kickstart default
model: ProvisioningTemplate
oses:
- CentOS
- Fedora
- RedHat
%>
<%#
This template accepts the following parameters:
- lang: string (default="en_US.UTF-8")
- selinux-mode: string (default="enforcing")
- keyboard: string (default="us")
- time-zone: string (default="UTC")

- enable-puppetlabs-repo: boolean (default=false)

- salt_master: string (default=undef)

- disable-uek: boolean (default=false)
- use-ntp: boolean (default depends on OS release)
- fips_enabled: boolean (default=false)
