Katello Dev box with pulp3:¶

Dev boxes are deployed with pulp3 by default, via an rpm installation

• vagrant up katello-dev-box
• vagrant ssh katello-dev-box

Katello Dev box with pulp3 on master:¶

On a devel box provisioned with steps above, run :

sudo pip3 install scikit-build nose
sudo yum install -y gcc make cmake bzip2-devel expat-devel file-devel glib2-devel libcurl-devel libmodulemd2-devel ninja-build libxml2-devel python36-devel python36-gobject rpm-devel openssl-devel sqlite-devel xz-devel zchunk-devel zlib-devel swig3

sudo pip3 install "git+https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore.git" \
  "git+https://github.com/pulp/pulp_file.git" \
  "git+https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm.git" \
  "git+https://github.com/pulp/pulp_container.git" \
  "git+https://github.com/pulp/pulp-2to3-migration.git" 

cd /tmp
sudo -u pulp PULP_SETTINGS='/etc/pulp/settings.py'  /usr/local/bin/pulpcore-manager migrate

cd ~/foreman
bundle exec rails katello:reset

Updating to a New Pulp Version in master & nightly:¶

1. Request build of new version from build team unless its already built: http://yum.theforeman.org/pulpcore/ (https://github.com/theforeman/pulpcore-packaging)
2. Install new version locally on top of existing version with a pip3 install command, or use rpms if they are built
3. Identify any installer changes, open installer PRs
4. Identify katello updates:

• Updating pulp client gem bindings in katello.gemspec
• re-record vcr cassettes
• Identify any katello code changes needed to fix test cases
• open katello PR with changes

5. Update katello-repos in https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging to point to the new version
6. Update forklift to deploy with the new version: https://github.com/theforeman/forklift/blob/master/vagrant/config/versions.yaml

5. Update client binding rpms at foreman-packaging

Installing on a smart proxy: The old (ansible-based) way to deploy pulp3:¶

• vagrant up centos7-proxy-devel
• Install the following packages in your dev box:
• checkout this forklift pr: 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
  

• if this fails, run on the capsule:
  

  rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/setuptools* -rf
  

  
  and re-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

To revert to pulp2 on smart proxy:

vi /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.d/pulpcore.yml
set enabled to false
sudo systemctl restart foreman-proxy
Refresh features of proxy

Reset the Katello Pulp 3 Dev Environment
From within the Foreman directory this will take care of it:

bundle exec rake katello:reset

¶

To ONLY reset the pulp3 db (if you know what your doing):

sudo systemctl stop pulpcore*
sudo su - postgres
dropdb pulp -p 7878
createdb pulp -p 7878
exit
cd /usr/local/lib/pulp/src/pulpcore/
sudo -u pulp PULP_SETTINGS='/etc/pulp/settings.py' DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='pulpcore.app.settings' /usr/local/lib/pulp/bin/django-admin migrate --no-input
sudo -u pulp PULP_SETTINGS='/etc/pulp/settings.py' DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE='pulpcore.app.settings' /usr/local/lib/pulp/bin/django-admin reset-admin-password --password password
Copy /etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.d/pulpcore.conf  from your dev box to proxy
sudo systemctl restart pulpcore*

Example for querying the Pulp 3 API in a development environment:

curl https://`hostname`/pulp/api/v3/status/   --cert /etc/pki/katello/certs/pulp-client.crt  --key /etc/pki/katello/private/pulp-client.key
