[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Python Version for Ansible

2021-01-14 Thread Sulove Khanal
Hello,

 

I am currently looking to setup Ansible access to the Juniper devices in my 
environment. One of the prereqs of this to have to python 3.5 or later 
installed on your Ansible control node (mine being Spacewalk), but the current 
python version on my Spacewalk instance is 2.75. 

 

How would this upgrade of python versions affect my current Spacewalk version? 
Does anyone have any experience with this? I wanted to gather more information 
before considering upgrading the version.

 

Thank you,

Sulove

Hi Michael,

I guess I should clarify my question, I do have the osquery package already 
installed on my system, but I am looking for a valid repository URL in which 
spacewalk can check and sync packages from on a nightly (or however frequent) 
basis. Do you know of any links containing osquery packages? I tried using this 
as the repository URL (https://pkg.osquery.io/rpm/osquery-s3-rpm.repo), but the 
syncing does not work. Error below.

[root@spacewalk ~]# spacewalk-repo-sync -c osquery-x86_64 --latest

If you scroll down on the https://osquery.io/downloads/official/4.4.0
you can see Alternative Install Options > RPM Linux and
there are some commands which include instalation of
 https://pkg.osquery.io/rpm/osquery-s3-rpm.repo

Yes, there were issues with the jpackage repo.

 

That's why Michael rebuilt all the needed jpackage packages and there's no need 
to add a separate repo manually.

 

All needed repos should be covered by:

# rpm -ql spacewalk-repo | grep repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk-java.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk-nightly.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk.repo

 

I'd say /etc/yum.repos.d/spacewalk-java.repo is the one you're looking for.

Tomas

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk clean up packages issue

2020-07-20 Thread Sulove Khanal
Is it possible to use the custom Quartz format scheduler in Spacewalk on the 
command line and still pass certain parameters too in that schedule? (i.e. 
--latest) 

Or would you recommend in this case disabling the scheduler, and setting up my 
own cron job and bash script to ensure syncing of only the latest packages (on 
a nightly basis)?

You can run the spacewalk-repo-sync tool from the command-line and pass the

You'll want to check your channel sync scripts to make sure 
spacewalk-repo-sync is called using the --latest/-n flag (at least for the 
channels that fill up your disk space) so that Spacewalk doesn't redownload all 
the old packages you removed. There is also a UI checkbox for this on the Sync 
tab for a Software Channel.

[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk clean up packages issue

2020-07-08 Thread Sulove Khanal
Hi all,

 

I am trying to delete old packages in Spacewalk, as well as remove packages 
that aren’t currently associated with a channel, and am using the 
spacewalk-remove-old-packages.py. The script works fine, and packages/space are 
cleared upon completion of the script, but space fills right back up the night 
after the script is ran. 

 

My channels sync every night around midnight, so I am thinking Spacewalk is 
redownloading those packages it has just removed. This didn’t use to happen 
before maybe 2 months ago, and nothing has changed I believe in my environment 
to warrant this change; the script was ran and space would not fill out the 
night after. 

 

Any ideas of how to resolve this issue / why this is happening?

Sulove

Also, is there a consolidated upstream project similar to Satellite 6?  Because 
from what I can see SuSE and Oracle (for their unbearable Linux) use Spacewalk 
or a similar structure, or am I mistaken?

We used to use spacewalk much more than we do now, but it does need to be 
caught up in patching.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Kickstart File - Increase Root Partition Size

2020-05-18 Thread Sulove Khanal
Hello,

 

Coming back to this, I had a few questions. I am trying to explicitly define 
the partitions now in my kickstart, creating these mount points (/boot, /, 
/home, and swap). I want to ensure I use LVM for all but the /boot partition, 
and give / 20GB of space. I have referenced the link in the below chain for 
kickstarts, as well as Stefan’s custom partition table.

 

The file system type on our other systems are xfs, so I am following in that 
same way. 

 
Does every LVM need to have a vg name specified?
Why do I need to define a volgroup?
Does this look correct below?
 

part /boot --fstype=xfs --size=1000

volgroup vg vg_main --pesize=4096

logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=lv_root --vgname=vgroot --size=2

logvol /home --fstype=xfs --name=lv_home --vgname=vghome --size=1000

logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vgswap --size=1000

In a kickstart you cannot use autopart and also define any partition to be a 
particular size.  It is one or the other.

 

https://pykickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kickstart-docs.html#autopart

 

I prefer to have more control over the disk layout, myself, and use the same 
method as Stefan.  But it depends upon your needs.  Sounds like you have a need 
to define your partitions.

 

Kickstart is powerful.  I have found only a very few limitations in it, and 
those have always been in the sysroot’d environment itself not in Kickstart.

Hello Sulove,

 

as far as I am aware, by default on RHEL it is using the full HDD as root after 
a /boot and a swap default.

 

This is how I do custom partition my servers:

 

Go to Systems --> Kickstart --> Profiles -->  --> System Details --> 
Partitioning --> Partition Details

 

Enter

 

part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500
part pv.01 --grow --size=1
part swap --size=1000   --maxsize=2000 
volgroup vg_main --pesize=4096 pv.01
logvol /var/log --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_log --vgname=vg_main --size=1000
logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_main --size=1 --grow
logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_main --size=2016

 

 

This creates:

- /boot 500MB as ext4

- swap between 1GB to 2GB (I think this is autoscaled to memory 1:1)

- /log 1GB as ext4

- / [root] for the rest

 

I hope this helps.

Stefan

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Permanently remove package from subscribed channel

2020-04-10 Thread Sulove Khanal
Going back to the question of permanently removing a package from a subscribed 
channel, I followed these steps 

 

 Channels --> Manage Software Channels --> Manage Repositories -->  --> 
Filters (last field on the screen).

 

And put -firefox* in the filters box and clicked update repository. The name of 
the file(s) I am trying remove is firefox-68.6.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64, there are 
a few with this type of name, all beginning with firefox. I also deleted (which 
is temporary) the firefox packages that had already synced down previous.

 

The channel syncs every night, so I checked again this morning, and the package 
was not blocked. Any ideas why it didn’t work?

If you're using spacewalk-repo-sync to sync an upstream yum repo to spacewalk, 
you can edit the following file:

 

# cat /etc/rhn/spacewalk-repo-sync/yum.conf
[ansible-rhel7-x86_64]
exclude=ansible-2.9*,ansible-test-2.9*

[epel7-centos7-x86_64]
exclude=ansible-*

[epel7-rhel7-x86_64]
exclude=ansible-*

 

This ensures my Spacewalk mirrors EPEL, but does not include any RPMs named 
ansible (since they're no longer maintained).  It also ensures I don't mirror 
ansible 2.9 from the upstream ansible-rhel7-x86_64 yum repo.

 

I had to clean the RPMs out of my channels manually once or twice, but adding 
these statements ensure they're not mirrored in the future.

The way I do that is via the command line on the system: yum versionlock [1].

You might also want to create a channel copy and assign the system to that 
specific channel.

You can also lock the complete system via Spacewalk, but I don't think you are 
looking for that.

That worked, thank you all for the help. One more question, is there a way to 
make a/one package not get pushed/synced to one particular system within a 
Spacewalk channel environment? If so, how?

Where on the WebUI am I able to block these packages? The only thing I see 
is to delete a package within a channel, which will reappear the next time it 
syncs. (Manage software channels ---> click on # of packages in channel, search 
for package in question, click remove.)

Is the channel definition within the command line? How would I get to 
where I want to go?

For example, if I want to block Firefox package updates from a channel 
called "centos7-x86-64," what commands would I run exactly? I am a beginner 
Spacewalk user.
