Puppet required?
by Avram Lubkin 06 May '13

06 May '13

I was looking over the project and it looks interesting, much improved over Spacewalk. I particularly like how different projects are used instead of one monolithic project. There's just one thing that concerns me. It looks like if I want to do provisioning I have to use Foreman and if I use Foreman I have to use Puppet. Since Puppet requires ruby installed on all clients I can't deploy it. This is due to a security requirement. I can't add interpreters to a system unless I have a good justification. I can do what puppet does without adding another interpreter, so I can't justify it. I know there are lots of organizations that use puppet and probably install Ruby to support it, but I've never worked with a group that would allow that. Any plans to support CFengine or something similar that wouldn't require another interpreter on the clients? Python is Okay too, since any RHEL or RHEL-like system already has it. Please reply all, not on the list. Thanks, Avram

Package storage location?
by Stewart, Douglas H 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hypothetically, let's say I'm space-constrained on a local device but have plenty of SAN space to dump ISOs, RPMs, etc. on. How would I go about putting those sizable pieces of data out onto said SAN space? Is it as as simple as moving a couple of directories and symlinking, or is it something more profound? -Doug

Katello PostgreSQL tuning hints
by Thom Carlin 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

We're encountering a Pulp Timeout similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752352 While researching this issue, we came across http://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2011-September/msg00191.html has some useful generic PostgreSQL tuning hints. According to the thread, this may help with 500 Internal Server errors.

Problems with gems trying to install katello

Hello guys, I can't install Katello on a RHEL 6.3. x86_64. I followed the instructions here : https://fedorahosted.org/katello/wiki/Install I successfully installed the katello-all package. Then I started the katello-configure as said in the wiki. I now have that error : $ katello-configure Starting Katello configuration The top-level log file is [/var/log/katello/katello-configure-20120925-082912/main.log] Populating Katello database schema Failed, please check [/var/log/katello/katello-configure/db_migrate.log] Report errors using # katello-debug tool.
