Sync yum.puppet.com repository fails. "Invalid remote URL"

Support
1

Problem:
Im not able to sync yum.foreman.com repository, it tells me:

Errors:

An invalid remote URL was provided: Index of /client/nightly/el9

I have tried multiple different URLs:

https://yum.puppet.com
https://yum.puppet.com/puppet
https://yum.puppet.com/puppet/el
https://yum.puppet.com/puppet/el/8
https://yum.theforeman.org/client/nightly/el9/

That last one is straight from the documentation mentioned below.

If im doing something wrong then i cant see it…

Expected outcome:
Sync the packages… The URL matches what is given in the documentation for ie. adding AlmaLinux yum repo.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Foreman 3.0.11.el8
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version:
RHEL8.9

Try using the following:

https://yum.puppet.com/puppet/el/8/x86_64/
https://yum.theforeman.org/client/nightly/el9/x86_64/

Yeah this works, not intutive for me as a new user of katello since im asked if i want to restrict platform in the GUI, which i did.
And i think i should be able to just add yum.puppet.com and get all distros and versions that are not restricted by platform. This is also not clear to me if its a bug or a limitation… :slight_smile:

I believe the feature you are asking for exists and is called “Repo Discovery”, see the docs here: Managing content

I can’t say I have ever used it though, so I don’t know how well it works.
