Uyuni 2021.01 fix for /etc/uyuni-release and WebUI version and release notes update

by Julio González Gil

Hello, Those of you that already updated to 2021.01 maybe already noticed that the WebUI incorrectly says "2021.02", and the same information is present at /etc/uyuni-release [1] We added an update to the Patches repository [2] that can be installed on top of 2021.01 to fix this issue. The patches repository also contains updated release notes with the information about the WebUI not starting because of a vendor change for some Java dependencies [3] To get the fixes installed, follow the next steps (as root) at the Uyuni Server: 1. Install the patches repository (if it's already present, zypper will exit with an error that you can just ignore) zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable… 2. Refresh the repositories: zypper ref 3. Stop the services: spacewalk-service stop 4. Run the update (this will get you updates for at least release-notes-uyuni, spacewalk-base, spacewalk-base-minimal, spacewalk-base-minimal-config, spacewalk-common, spacewalk-html, spacewalk-postgresql, susemanager-web-libs and any other pending updates from Leap): zypper up 5. After the update is complete, start the services: spacewalk-service start You will see the correct version 2021.01 at the WebUI, /etc/uyuni-release as well as the updated release notes. NOTE: Starting the services will tell you about a schema upgrade. Do not worry. That is perfectly normal and you will see that message each time you start the services. An upgrade is always attempted, in case there is something pending.

2020: Retrospective for an exceptional year for Uyuni

by Julio González Gil

Dear users and contributors, Now that 2020 is coming to an end, I'd like to take a quick look back at what year was for Uyuni. During 2020 we saw the community grow in numbers, not just in terms of users, but also in terms of active contributors. Now we have people helping with the translations, the documentation, the code itself (be it bugfixing or even new features), and helping other fellow users at the mailing lists or Gitter. Here are some highlights of what we all accomplished during the last 12 months: - We now release each month or two months: 8 releases this year (versus 1 in 2019 and 2 in 2018). - Since May 2020, we have been holding monthly Uyuni Community Hours meetings, with presentations both from the main contributor (SUSE) and the community. - We started a YouTube channel and populated it with videos on how to use Uyuni, translate it, test it and analyze its performance [1]. - We moved our chat from IRC to Gitter [2] - Mailing lists were moved to the new system [3] (kudos to the openSUSE Heroes team!) - Uyuni can now be translated, and that brought a lot of contributors that already did an impressive job in a number of languages. - Support for new OS as clients: CentOS/RHEL 8 (including ppc64le for CentOS 7/8), Ubuntu 20.04, Oracle Linux 6/7/8 and Debian 9/10. - A lot of improvements in monitoring with Prometheus such as: new exporters (and supported OSs), autodiscovery, federation and reverse proxy. - Grafana, which can be used (among other things) to show the status of the prometheus monotoring. - Performance improvements for repository syncing. - Uyuni Hub: allows management of several Uyuni Servers from a central one. - Recurring actions. - Usability improvements: automated database schema upgrade, autogeneration of bootstrap repositories, UI icons for child channel synchronization status, etc - New formulas and improved formulas (cpu mitigations, prometheus federation, prometheus exporters, Uyuni Hub...). - Single sign-on (SSO). - WebUI themes. - Server and Proxy were updated to openSUSE Leap 15.2, that brought salt 3000 and PostgreSQL 12 - Yomi: new installer framework for openSUSE And SUSE Linux Enterprise Linux, with formulas and forms for easy use - A port of the Server to CentOS 8 was started Keep in mind this is just a brief hightlight. The release notes [2] contain so many changes and improvements that we cannot possibly list all of them here. This was only possible thanks to the combined effort of all people from the community, SUSE and openSUSE, and we can all be proud of the results. Let me wish you all the best for the upcoming year 2021, for your personal endeavours, and for your work at Uyuni, and for all your loved ones. Keep up the good work, and remember to have a lot of fun!

IMPORTANT: Recent changes for the mailing lists

by Julio González Gil

Hi everyone, As part of the openSUSE Migration of the mailing lists [1], we have a few new things that you need to be aware of: 1. The lists addresses are now: announce(a)lists.uyuni-project.org devel(a)lists.uyuni-project.org users(a)lists.uyuni-project.org translation(a)lists.uyuni-project.org 2. The old addresses will be working for some unspecified time, but we recommend you start using the new addresses. 3. To avoid some problems DMARC authentication [2], the lists (among other things) will not add prefixes such as "[uyuni-user]" to the subject, and will not alter the body adding any links to the mailing lists. 4. As a consequence: If you used the subject to filter emails, please change your filters to start using email headers(check the openSUSE Migration page for details [1]) 5. The new system uses mailman v3 and hyperkitty, so now all management can be done via webUI at https://lists.uyuni-project.org or https://lists.opensuse.org 6. Your subscription should remain unchanged. We would like to thank the openSUSE Heroes [3] for the migration, as the change from mlmmj to mailman+hyperkitty is a big step forward making life easier for both users and mailing list administrators. Best regards.

[uyuni-announce] Special update for CVE-2020-16846, CVE-2020-17490 and CVE-2020-25592

by Pau Garcia

Hello Today we have released an unscheduled update for Uyuni 2020.09, for 3 security issues affecting the Salt master and minions: CVE-2020-16846, CVE-2020-17490 and CVE-2020-25592. First, a small warning. The current salt on openSUSE Leap 15.1/15.2 fixes the CVEs already, but contains a regression that breaks onboarding from WebUI and salt ssh managed minions. A fix for this is already in the openSUSE queue and should be released soon. Server ====== Please make sure you are on the most recent release (2020.09) and use the following commands on the Uyuni server: # zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable… # zypper refresh # spacewalk-service stop # zypper update # spacewalk-service start This will download the required spacewalk-java and py26-compat-salt packages, as well as salt from openSUSE Leap 15.2 Proxies and Clients =================== Just sync your channels on the Uyuni Server for all operating systems, and that will get the updated salt packages. Then apply the updates to all your clients as you would do for any other security updates. More information ================ https://www.saltstack.com/blog/on-november-3-2020-saltstack-publicly-disclo… https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-16846/ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-25592/ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-17490/ Thank you Pau Garcia Quiles SUSE Manager Product Owner & Technical Project Manager SUSE Software Solutions Spain
