Bug #10516
closed
Hide parameters in the installer that are not relevant to Katello (i.e. Foreman mysql options)
Description
On RHEL7 systems MariaDB is the default DB rather than MySQL. However katello-installer is trying to install MySQL when --foreman-db-type=mysql is set.
Here is the relevant snippet from /usr/share/katello-installer/modules/mysql/manifests/params.pp
case $::osfamily {
'RedHat': {
if $::operatingsystem 'Fedora' and (is_integer($::operatingsystemrelease) and $::operatingsystemrelease >= 19 or $::operatingsystemrelease "Rawhide") {
$client_package_name = 'mariadb'
$server_package_name = 'mariadb-server'
} else {
$client_package_name = 'mysql'
$server_package_name = 'mysql-server'
}
So installer should also install mariadb and mariadb-server packages when operatingsystem is Redhat (or CentOS) and operatingsystemrelease is 7. Because in RHEL7 repos there is no mysql and mysql-server packages.

Katello does not support MySQL at the moment, maybe the mysql module should be removed from katello-installer until this is tackled...
Standalone Foreman without Katello is working just fine with MySQL.

Ok, thanks. I was following katello-installer --help
--foreman-db-type Database 'production' type (valid types: mysql/postgresql/sqlite) (default: "postgresql")

Oh, I see... that's a parameter of the foreman module, that's explaining the original problem.

Foreman is dropping support for MySQL database - see https://community.theforeman.org/t/rfc-dropping-support-for-mysql/14185 for further details. This means also the related installer options will be removed. Closing this issue.
