Problem:
I am not able to sync the Jenkins repository to Foreman

I get following error:

Request timed out for https ://get.jenkins.io/redhat. Increasing the total_timeout value on the remote might help.

Connectivity test with curl works fine:

curl -v https ://get.jenkins.io/redhat

Hi @jr71 ,

I would try increasing the timeout values here for a start:

These settings live under the Content tab on the Settings page.

I think this is the wrong URL as there is no repodata/repomd.xml behind this one, based on there documentation can you try https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/ or https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat/ depending on your preference.

And as a side-note I have to say I hate it when vendor have forbidden directory listing on their repositories as it makes debugging so much harder!

Thanks a lot Dirk!

I have had to wait a few days for the Firewalls to open, but eventually:

https: //pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/ did the trick
