Smart proxy package and repo (3.6)

Support
1

Problem:
instructions for Foreman 3.6 / Katello 4.8 do not provide a repo for external smart proxy install. With previous versions I have managed to get it by installing foreman-release rpm (same as whats installed on the master)

https://docs.theforeman.org/3.6/Installing_Proxy/index-katello.html

Expected outcome:
foreman-proxy-content package does not exist

Foreman and Proxy versions:
foreman 3.6 / katello 4.8
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version:

Other relevant data:

Please can someone confirm what repo I need to setup on a new proxy in order to get the foreman-proxy-content package?

Main server and proxy use the same repositories.

strange because it’s available on the master (katello repo)
our proxies are the same OS (EL8) as the master with the same repos

foreman-proxy-content-4.8.1-1.el8.noarch : Provides a federation of katello services
Repo : katello
Matched from:
Provide : foreman-proxy-content = 4.8.1-1.el8

urgh, nm, it required the module enabled.
dnf module enable katello:el8 pulpcore:el8

Would be handy if the proxy instrucions said made mention of using same master repos during the install section, but all looking good now
