[Spacewalk-list] questions about spacecmd and rhnreg_ks

[Ananta Chakravartula]

I created groups dev/stage/prod and assigned nodes to those groups
depending on our chef client environment.

My questions

1) whenever I run `rhnreg_ks` on clients, i want to run a script on the
server to add the node to a certain group and  set basechannel depending on
the environment. for example I want all the prod nodes to be set to base
channel prod-xxx. I wrote some code for that, but how can i trigger it on
rhnreg_ks, is it possible?

2) I don't see any option in here
 to set all the nodes in a group to certain base channel.It will be nice
to add that , is there any space where I can create a PR or suggest?
This

takes only systemid, it will be nice if it can take groupname or groupid

3) How can i set spacecmd not to cache in config? I run in to many issues
with spacecmd not doing what it is supposed to be even after confirming the
changes in stdout. Some gets cleared vi clear_caches. I also can't
reproduce the issues, so i can't open bug report. It will be nice and handy
if there is any config option not to do caching.

cheers,
ac

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.8 - Pushing Errata Patches Failing

[Ananta Chakravartula]

Hopefully, this messages gets posted in the right thread :) . I don't know
how to comment on old conversations.

I had similar issue with error messages
```
D: Sending back response (6, 'Invalid function call attempted', {})
D: do_call packages.checkNeedUpdate ('rhnsd=1',)
```
I updated the yum-rhn-plugin package from the spacewalk client repo and it
resolved the issue.

[Spacewalk-list] spacecmd

[Ananta Chakravartula]

I got spacewalk setup using chef and I run some spacecmd commands part of
the recipe ( using execute resource), but chef-client fails with error

```
chef-client[32220]: Spacewalk Password: ERROR:
chef-client[32220]: Warning: Password input may be echoed.
chef-client[32220]:   passwd = fallback_getpass(prompt, stream)
chef-client[32220]: /usr/lib64/python2.7/getpass.py:83: GetPassWarning:
Can not control echo on the terminal.
chef-client[32220]: Spacewalk Password: ERROR:```
```

I do have ~/.spacecmd/config , but looks like spacecmd is looking for tty.
It doesn't error when i run chef-client manually.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk in container

[Ananta Chakravartula]

One benefit I can think of will be easier upgrades on new releases or move
spacewalk to different host running container service.
All we have to do is build a new image and mount configs and databases.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk in container

[Ananta Chakravartula]

Thanks Michael.

My main worry is to figure out what all files I have to mount in the
container to keep the changes persistent on restart. Most of the articles I
searched doesn't talk about it. They run sync commands directly inside the
container without mounting any local volumes. I would imagine all the data
is gone on container restart. I will check the links you sent.

Anyways, I got the answer. I think I will skip the container install for
now.

[Ananta Chakravartula]

Is it recommended/supported to run Spacewalk in a container?  What all
locations I have to make persistent? I see data written to /var/satellite
and /var/lib/pgsql. Are there any other places to keep in mind if I use
every service of spacewalk?

Also, Is there any chance of updating the documentation with support of
