I always include the spacewalk clients in a child repo of my base channels then include it in my kickstarts. Then I can view the kickstart and pick out the URI yum has an option to install using an adhock yumrepo. Also you may not be aware of this but spacewalk generates a boilerplate registration script for you in the public directory for apache you can use as a template to modify into your own custom registration script. Additionally yum and the rpm command can install packages over a network by specifying the URI as the package name.
Hi All,
I am trying to figure out a an easy to register servers that are already created and offline without have to reach out to the internet to get the necessary packages. The only way I could do this was to do the following below by creating a yum repo with the necessary packages and then on a client server configure a .repo file that get the necessary packages. Is there any easier way to do this? I would think spacewalk would have an easy way to register clients especially offline servers. I had asked this before and someone suggested a scripts on github, but couldn't figure it out. Thanks, Jason Create Local Repo on the spacewalk Server
