RE: Set up Uyuni with YaST ERROR
by Paul-Andre Panon 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Hi Julio, I am getting the same error. This is with a new install of Uyuni 2022.02. It looks like the certificate is getting created in /root/ssl-build but the rpm package is not. I manually copied the certificate and key to the locations in /etc/pki/tls/ indicated by the apache2 config to be able to start the web service, but we need to build the cert rpm package for deployment to clients. We're actually going to go through the procedure to build a custom CA-signed cert so we will see whether that goes OK or if it breaks as well, but the default process for using a self-signed cert seems to be broken after the creation of the cert. The self signed cert also appears to have the OU and O order mixed up, although I expect that shouldn't be enough to break the cert configuration. Cheers, Paul-Andre Panon

We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Uyuni 2021.02 At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2022.02, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. VERY IMPORTANT: Read the release notes! If you are updating from an Uyuni version older than 2021.06, a major upgrade procedure is required.

Remember that Uyuni will follow a rolling release planning, so the next version will contain bugfixes for this one and any new features. There will be no maintenance of 2022.02 As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2022.02 and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute.

Using Prometheus and Grafana on Centos
by Simon Avery 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Has anyone managed to get the Grafana dashboards working on Centos or Rocky? I have tried several times over various versions and just given another hour to the task without any joy. Following the guide and applying the Salt formula always fails on the targets I've tried, with: ID: install_prometheus Function: pkg.installed Name: golang-github-prometheus-prometheus Result: false Comment: Error occurred installing package(s). Additional info follows: errors: - Running scope as unit: run-r4cd5eeb15cd8494685380c6107f1045b.scope Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:03 ago on Thu Mar 10 14:37:34 2022. No match for argument: golang-github-prometheus-prometheus Error: Unable to find a match: golang-github-prometheus-prometheus Started: 14:37:18.669658 Duration: 20980.625 SLS: prometheus Changed: {} And indeed - the package is not called that on EL. It is supplied in the Epel repos (although on Centos 7 that appears to be broken - it does install fine manually on Rocky 8) - but the package is called golang-github-prometheus - so always fails. Anyone know how to work around this? I don't have any Suse machines other than the one Uyuni runs on. Manually, I always seem to get into configuration problems with Prometheus. It's not software I'm familiar with and it does seem very fussy about syntax (something I've seen discussed at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/2082 ) I have an existing Grafana server that I'd like to be able to use this with.

Ubuntu repos not working after upgrade to 2022.02
by Bidault, Philippe 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hi all ! After upgrading from 2021.12 to 2022.02, the registered Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 are not able to get the repos anymore. Result of an 'apt update': E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-main-uyuni/… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-18.04-pool-amd64-uyuni… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-uyuni-clien… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-universe-uy… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-multiverse-… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-main-update… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-main-securi… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-universe-up… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Failed to fetch https://uyu01v:443/rhn/manager/download/dists/ubuntu-1804-amd64-multiverse-… 404 Not Found [IP: 10.0.0.1 443] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. I have tried to remove the apt cache on the registered servers, but no luck. I have tried to force the repo sync to regenerate the repos metadata on the Uyuni server , but it did not help neither. Somebody with this same issue ? Do I just need to be patient to let internal Uyuni mechanism to regenerate caches or whatever ? Thanks ! Philippe.

How to configure Uyuni to bootstrap systems to use public available repo URL
by jd＠eurisco.dk 06 Mar '22

06 Mar '22

I would like to configure an Uyuni installation to bootstrap systems to use a public available repo URL instead of a local one. I believe this is achieved by changing the "Uyuni server hostname" under "Uyuni Configuration - Bootstrap", but when bootstrapping a system, the repo URL is using the "Uyuni Hostname" (e.g. uyuni.my-local-domain) and not the Uyuni server hostname (e.g. update.my-public-domain). I have checked all the Uyuni documentation, and googled this topic, but I have only found hints that it should be possible, but not an explanation how to actually achieve this, so I wonder if my understanding is wrong, or if something is missing in our installation. Running Uyuni 2022.01 on openSUSE Leap 15.3 I would highly appreciate if someone could help with getting this up and running. Thanks, Jacob Dall

Sending it to the list, as it somehow ended in the Bcc. It will be useful if we have Uyuni (and later SUMA) on a Kubernetes/Openshift cluster.
