In the last post <\/a>we’ve installed and configured the Uyuni server. In this post we’ll add our first client we later on can manage through the Uyuni server. Quite some distributions are <\/a>supported<\/a>, and we’re not going for any flavor of openSUSE<\/a> or SUSE<\/a> (that for sure will work), but for a Debian<\/a> 11 client. As our server is running in AWS<\/a>, we’ll use the official Debian 11 AMI from the AWS marketplace<\/a>. The supported features for Debian are listed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, before we do anything else, we’ll bring the system to the latest release. As described in the last post, make sure that the fully qualified domain name is returned by “hostname -f”:<\/p>\n\n\n

Later on, when we bootstrap the client from the Uyuni web interface, we’ll need the ssh key for connecting, so we need to generate the keys for the root user:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nadmin@uyuni-debian11:~$ sudo bash\nroot@uyuni-debian11:\/home\/admin$ cd\nroot@uyuni-debian11:~$ ssh-keygen \nGenerating public\/private rsa key pair.\nEnter file in which to save the key (\/root\/.ssh\/id_rsa): \nEnter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): \nEnter same passphrase again: \nYour identification has been saved in \/root\/.ssh\/id_rsa\nYour public key has been saved in \/root\/.ssh\/id_rsa.pub\nThe key fingerprint is:\nSHA256:oTWP8toDbc79iM8o\/mC8yuDjMNr7TtEyP3EOXbg08KE root@uyuni-debian11\nThe key's randomart image is:\n+---[RSA 3072]----+\n|      . .        |\n|       + o       |\n|      E O .      |\n|     . = O       |\n|    + *.S .      |\n|     *.Bo        |\n|o . . *=o.       |\n|.=.+ ..*++..     |\n|..===o+o=o+..    |\n+----[SHA256]-----+\nroot@uyuni-debian11:~# \n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Before we can start to integrate the client into the Uyuni server’s we need to create a bootstrap repository. This repository is used, when a client is registered for the first time. To do that, we need to create the Debian 11 channels. This can easily be done on the command line:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nec2-user@uyuni-server:~> sudo spacewalk-common-channels debian-11-pool-amd64-uyuni debian-11-amd64-uyuni-client debian-11-amd64-main-updates-uyuni debian-11-amd64-main-security-uyuni\nSUSE Manager username: dwe\nSUSE Manager password: \nec2-user@uyuni-server:~> ps -ef | grep sync\nroot      7404  3390 99 15:41 ?        00:06:10 \/usr\/bin\/python3 -u \/usr\/bin\/spacewalk-repo-sync --channel debian-11-pool-amd64-uyuni --type deb --non-interactive\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
The synchronization started automatically and our new Debian 11 channels are now visible in the web interface:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The repositories got created as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
To check the synchronization status, you can either do that from the command line by checking the log file (you’ll notice the Red Hat roots here, because of the “rhn” in the path):<\/p>\n\n\n
\nec2-user@uyuni-server:~> sudo tail -f \/var\/log\/rhn\/reposync\/debian-11-pool-amd64-uyuni.log\n2022\/12\/28 15:50:15 -00:00     42549\/58640 : ogamesim-www_0.34-3.1_all.deb\n2022\/12\/28 15:50:15 -00:00     42550\/58640 : oggfwd_0.2-6+b2_amd64.deb\n2022\/12\/28 15:50:15 -00:00     42551\/58640 : oggvideotools_0.9.1-5.1_amd64.deb\n...\n2022\/12\/28 16:04:25 -00:00   Package batch #1715 of 2932 completed...\n2022\/12\/28 16:04:26 -00:00   Package batch #1717 of 2932 completed...\n2022\/12\/28 16:04:27 -00:00   Package batch #1716 of 2932 completed...\n2022\/12\/28 16:04:27 -00:00   Package batch #1719 of 2932 completed...\n2022\/12\/28 16:04:27 -00:00   Package batch #1720 of 2932 completed...\n...\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:19 -00:00   Package batch #2931 of 2932 completed...\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:20 -00:00   Package batch #2930 of 2932 completed...\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:20 -00:00   Package batch #2927 of 2932 completed...\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:20 -00:00 Importing packages finished.\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:20 -00:00 \n2022\/12\/28 16:12:20 -00:00   Linking packages to the channel.\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:23 -00:00     1000 packages linked\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:25 -00:00     2000 packages linked\n2022\/12\/28 16:12:26 -00:00     3000 packages linked\n...\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n

This will take some time as plenty of packages need to be synchronized. Before we continue we’ll wait until the synchronization completes. Again, this can be checked on the command line:<\/p>\n\n\n

… or by checking the repository in the web interface:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The next step is to create the bootstrap repository, which will be used by the client once it gets registered:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nec2-user@uyuni-server:~> sudo mgr-create-bootstrap-repo\n1. debian11-amd64-uyuni\nEnter a number of a product label: 1                                 \n\nCreating bootstrap repo for debian11-amd64-uyuni\ncopy 'dirmngr-2.2.27-2+deb11u2.amd64-deb'\ncopy 'gnupg-2.2.27-2+deb11u2.all-deb'\n...copy 'pinentry-curses-1.1.0-4.amd64-deb'\nExporting indices...\nERROR: package 'venv-salt-minion' not found\n\nSuggestions:\nmgr-create-bootstrap-repo uses the locally synchronized versions of files\nfrom the Tools repository, and uses the locally synchronized pool channel\nfor dependency resolution.\nBoth should be fully synced before running the mgr-create-bootstrap-repo script.\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
This fails, because the tools channel was not yet synchronized. We can do that manually:<\/p>\n\n\n
