If I may be so bold an make a suggestion, that would have helped me.
I hope I have my facts straight below.
The Katello 3.15 release notes
- Should have a note about the default/supported database being change to rh-postgresql12, from 9.2. So external databases should be upgraded.
- It should be noted that this version enforces a local installation of rh-postgresql12 for Pulp3. This is especially important for people using external databases. Notably because the installer might fail if you have the CentOS 7 postgresql 9.2 package installed (see Upgrade 1.24.2 > 2.0.1 unable to install and migrate to rh-postgresql 12 on CentOS 7.8)
- Under the consolidation notes of PostgreSQL, it should also be noted that the default supported PostgreSQL version is bumped to 12 from 9.2.
The Katello 3.16 release notes
- Under the features, it should be noted that the installer now supports options for remote Pulp3 PostgreSQL database. Perhaps a note about this being beta if that is the case? (the options is only shown by the --full-help option).
- A link to info about how to use the options and what they are would be nice
- A link to info about how to correctly migrate from local to remote would also be nice.
- Under notes it should be stated that a new PostgreSQL extension is being introduced, and that this is only being packed for the supported version of PostgreSQL at any point in time.
- A note to remote databases about this needing to be installed manually prior to upgrading.
- If currently using both local and remote database, then the evr extenion needs to be present in both installation as both Katello and Foreman uses the extesion
- It should be stated that a new PostgreSQL extension is being introduced, and that this is only being packed for the supported version of PostgreSQL at any point in time.
- I’m actually unsure if this is true, if you are running a pure Foreman installation?
