Hello Pulp people,
I'm trying to install pulp 3.12.0 on RHEL 7.8 using the ansible method
documented at
https://docs.pulpproject.org/pulpcore/installation/instructions.html .
I have not yet managed to make it to the end of the pulp_install.yml
playbook without error. I have worked around 2 errors, but now I am
stuck on the third. I believe the root cause of my problems is trying to
use a proxy server. I have set the environment variables http_proxy,
https_proxy and proxy appropriately.
1. At the step "TASK [pulp.pulp_installer.pulp_common : Import required
EPEL RPM GPG keys]"
(~/.ansible.collections/ansible_collections/pulp/pulp_installer/roles/pulp_common/tasks/repos.yml),
the rpm_key module has two problems.
1. The ansible rpm_key module fails to pass the proxy settings to
the underlying rpm call.
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issules/19000
I worked around this problem by replacing the rpm_key ansible
module call with a raw line calling the rpm command directly,
and specifying the proxy settings to use.
2. The rpm --import <key-url> command uses curl internally.
curl+proxy+https does not work, but curl+proxy+http works. Note
also wget+proxy+https works.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/441021/curling-a-https-url-via-a-proxy-results-in-nss-error-5938
I worked around this problem by referencing the RPM-GPG key with
a http URL instead of a https URL.
2. At the step "TASK [pulp.pulp_installer.pulp_common : Upgrade to a
recent edition of pip (supporting manylinux2014)]"
(~/.ansible.collections/ansible_collections/pulp/pulp_installer/roles/pulp_common/tasks/install_pip.yml),
ansible fails with the error text:
fatal: [honeybee]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd":
["/usr/local/lib/pulp/bin/pip", "install", "pip>20.2"], "msg":
"stdout: Collecting pip>20.2\n\n:stderr: Retrying (Retry(total=4,

[Errno 101] Network is unreachable .....
I have not figured out how to work around this problem. It seems
that the pip ansible command is also not passing on the correct
proxy settings. I haven't even figured out how to work around this
problem running pip manually yet.
It would be fantastic if I could get some help with these issues so that
I can get my pulp server upgraded from pulp2 to pulp3.
Thanks,
Ben Stanley.
