Katello Dev environment with pulp 3¶

• Install a katello dev environment with forklift
• checkout this forklift pr if its not merged: https://github.com/theforeman/forklift/pull/980
• setup ansible-pulp:
  

  cd forklift
  git clone https://github.com/pulp/ansible-pulp.git
  cd ansible-pulp
  ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p ./roles
  ansible-galaxy install pulp.pulp_rpm_prerequisites -p ./roles
  

• within forkflift run:
  

  ansible-playbook ./playbooks/katello_pulp3.yml -l centos7-katello-devel
  

• Refresh the smart proxy:

  1. login to katello/foreman
  2. navigate to infrastructure > smart proxies
  3. click 'refresh' in the list of actions beside your smart proxy
  You're now rockin' Pulp3

• Known Issue: Can't seem to use pulp3 on the box since pulp-api.service fails to start.
  

  sudo chmod -R 777 /etc/pki/pulp/
  sudo systemctl restart pulpcore-api.service
  

Smart Proxy Setup:¶

• Install a smart proxy to point to your pulp3_dev box
• ssh into the smart proxy
• sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.d
• sudo vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
• Add IncludeOptional "/etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.d/*.conf to the end of the file and save
• In forklift > Run ansible-playbook ./playbooks/katello_pulp3.yml -l centos7-proxy-devel

Other Resources¶

• pulp3 gap analysis etherpad https://etherpad.net/p/pulp3_container
• pulp3 docker roadmap https://pulp.plan.io/projects/pulp/wiki/Pulp_Docker_Roadmap

Old way to deploy pulp3 on other box

• yum install vagrant-sshfs

• Checkout pulplift: https://github.com/pulp/pulplift
• Follow pulplift readme instructions, copy the centos7-pulp3-github box definition from vagrant/boxes.d/99-local.yaml.example
• vagrant up centos7-pulp3-github
• On katello dev env, edit /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/pulp3.yml
  • add/edit options (replacing dev.pulp3 with ip address or hostname of pulplift box):
    

    :enabled: true
    :pulp_url: http://dev.pulp3/pulp/
    

• restart foreman-proxy: systemctl restart foreman-proxy
• refresh your smart proxy, from the Infrastructure > Smart Proxies page
• Confirm that you see 'pulp3' show up in the list of features for that smart proxy

Updating of pulp client binding Gems¶

Every two weeks on a Friday, a PR should be open against katello to bump the client gems. A script is provided https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jlsherrill/836268d9ee9b33fc1fff06e9061db4f4/raw/7a1044725b00c44246fd241e9bed644c5fab6321/generate_pulp3_deps.rb to output the relevant requirements that can be put into katello.gemspec.

Example PR: https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/8294

If there are test failures, investigate and attempt to fix them. VCR re-recording may be necessary.

If there is some expected change, this process can be done more often.

We will ask for a volunteer the thursday prior to each friday. Current Schedule:

Sept 6th
Sept 20th
Oct 4th
Oct 18th
