Re: [Spacewalk-list] [EXTERNAL EMAIL] ansible tower with spacewalk

2020-08-21 Thread Simon Avery
* Have any of you tried integrating ansible tower/awx with spacewalk? I know it is supposed to be able to work with satellite, but not sure if it will do the same with spacewalk. If you have done this, do you have any recommended websites describing how to do it? Indirectly, yes. I

from YUM to Zypper for some things, and that's not possible to support on CentOS. They've already approved switching to DNF as a community feature, so once that's done, it's just filling in any missing packages. :) On Fri, May 22, 2020 at 8:03 AM Simon Avery wrote: > > You’re c

You’re correct, the installer does only work on a Suse machine. I don’t know what it would take to force it onto Centos, but I suspect it would be not trivial. That said, I found installing Suse and Uyuni pain free following their guide – although it obviously is another technology to support

Hello Joe, It’s worth noting, for those who can’t see Foreman/Katello fitting their use case, that Spacewalk has already been forked by https://www.uyuni-project.org/ and is under active development there. It’s quite familiar to Spacewalk users and also adds Salt Master functionality. (But

[Spacewalk-list] Odd sync errors since upgrading to 2.10

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction for this puzzler. I upgraded our 2.9 instance (host is Centos 7) to 2.10 on Friday. The process was not painless, but I think it completed successfully. (Details at end if relevant) Clients: Centos 6 and 7 Since then, we get an

Hello Sanjeev Note - I am not a part of Spacewalk. Freeipa is not relevant to this list, but I know nothing about it anyway. Spacewalk 2.10 was recently released and announced to be the final version. As it is end of life, it seems unlikely that any further dev work will be taking place,

Hi Same. Had a lot of issues with variations of the "cannot install the best update candidate" Issue when using Spacewalk managed repos for Centos 8 clients. I believe it is caused by the modules issue much discussed. I was able to get it working on one machine after 8.1 released, but not on

Hi I’ve not tested your scenario fully, but note that “ - - “ is often needed when passing some commands via spacecmd from the cli (rather than in spacecmd’s shell) This is my three command “patch everything in a group” script. $1 expanded to the name of that group (excuse outlook munging two

Hello Kent We too have encountered several rounds of difficulties with Centos 8 since 8.1 was released, despite not having specifically used modules on any of the target systems. Summary: 8.0 repo fails with various module related issues (since master repo updated this to link to 8.1/).
