<p>I tried installing pulp using the Pulp 3 Ansible Installer playbook:</p>

<p>I encrypted the pulp_default_admin_password and secret_key in my inventory (using ansible-vault encrypt_string -n pulp_default_admin_password xxxxxx).
When running the playbook, 2 tasks failed:</p>

<p>On CentOS 7, we have errors like the following:</p>

<p>The installer calls:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>/sbin/fixfiles restore /usr/local/lib/pulp</p>

<p>But both that command and:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>/sbin/fixfiles restore /usr/local/lib/pulp/bin/gunicorn</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Incorrectly set the context . The context is instead set to:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>unconfined_u:object_r:pulpcore_server_exec_t:s0</p>
</blockquote>
<p>However, the command:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>restorecon -F /usr/local/lib/pulp/bin/gunicorn</p>

<p>correctly sets it to:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>system_u:object_r:pulpcore_server_exec_t:s0</p>

<p>I tried to install pulp via the pulp installer v3.13.0 (ansible playbooks) in a fresh vagrant environment running CentOS Stream 8 but the install hangs on:</p>
<p>TASK [pulp_health_check : Ensure Pulp is up and healthy] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************
FAILED - RETRYING: Ensure Pulp is up and healthy (30 retries left).</p>
<p>I checked the service states and found pulpcore-resource-manager.service not starting because of:
pulpcore-worker[105999]: Error 13 connecting to localhost:6379. Permission denied.</p>
<p>It sounded for me like a SELinux issue so I deactivated SELinux completely and the installer run through successfully now. Could this be a bug cause in earlier version the installation worked also with SELinux turned on?</p> Pulp - Issue #8379 (NEW): pulp_installer depends on unsupported community collectionshttps://pulp.plan.io/issues/83792021-03-10T19:59:42Zironfroggy
<p>It has come to the attention of the Ansible Platform team that pulp_installer, which we use to install Hub as part of the platform, depends on community.general, but Platform cannot depend on community collections. We can only depend on supported, official ansible-namespace content.</p>
<p>The current blocker is ini_file from community.general. There may be others.</p>
<p>Ideally, we could get these dependencies moved into a supported collection, ansible.utils, and pulp_installer could depend on that, instead.</p> Pulp - Issue #8130 (POST): Installer is doubling http on apache snippetshttps://pulp.plan.io/issues/81302021-01-20T14:48:31Zfao89
<p>Currently, apache and nginx have a scheme inconsistency:</p>
<pre><code class="text syntaxhl" data-language="text">nginx: pulp-api = 127.0.0.1
apache: pulp-api = http://127.0.0.1
</code></pre>
<p>which means:</p>
<pre><code class="text syntaxhl" data-language="text">http://pulp-api on nginx = http://127.0.0.1
http://${pulp-api} on apache = http://http://127.0.0.1
</code></pre>
<p>It causes proxy error when running plugins on apache.</p>
<pre><code class="text syntaxhl" data-language="text">ProxyPass /token http://${pulp-api}/token
ProxyPassReverse /token http://${pulp-api}/token
</code></pre>
<p>Both nginx and apache uses <em>pulp_api_bind</em>, but nginx does use "raw" <em>pulp_api_bind</em>:</p>

<p>The installer takes a long time to upgrade an existing system that's running with SELinux enabled because it always relabels /var/lib/pulp in the "Restore SELinux contexts on Pulp dirs that may exist" handler[0]. The list of the directories is here[1].</p>

<p>(It's not working properly, LANG is still C.UTF-8 in the postgresql role when I added debug statements to said role.)</p>
<p>I will workaround this on Github Actions CI by changing LANG on the host.</p>
<p>The permanent fix will be to just upgrade CentOS 7 systems to PostgreSQL 10 instead.</p> Pulp - Issue #7641 (NEW): pulp_installer role READMEs should not tell users to set ansible_python...https://pulp.plan.io/issues/76412020-10-01T18:17:29Zmdepaulo@redhat.com
<p>Multiple roles' README.md files list under variables:</p>
<pre><code>ansible_python_interpreter`: **Required**. Path to the Python interpreter.
</code></pre>
<p>It definitely isn't required to be set, since the default behavior is auto_legacy in Ansible 2.8 through 2.11, and auto in 2.12 (planned.)</p>
<p>Furthermore, we probably shouldn't even list it. It is a common built-in Ansible variable that. There are many others, and there seems to be nothing special about it. Perhaps we should list it in case users are running Fedora 30.</p> Pulp - Issue #7640 (NEW): pulp_rpm_prerequisites sets ansible_python_interpreter unnecessarilyhttps://pulp.plan.io/issues/76402020-10-01T18:14:01Zmdepaulo@redhat.com
<p>There is no reason it should be set to:</p>
<pre><code>ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python
</code></pre>
<p>Since the behavior of auto_legacy and auto is to set it to that (python2) anyway.</p>
<p>It also would only affect the role (and later applied roles) at most, since the role is always (and conditionally) dynamically included. If it has any effect, this makes it harder to test the installer, different interpreter depending on whether or not pulp_rpm is getting installed.</p> Pulp - Issue #7472 (NEW): pulp_installer does not apply some tasks to RHEL8 properlyhttps://pulp.plan.io/issues/74722020-09-08T17:18:09Zmdepaulo@redhat.com
<p>A quick glance through the repo shows some tasks that can be easily fixed to support RHEL8 in addition to CentOS 8:

<p>Either needs to be a documented incompatibility and issue an error, or needs to run the correct steps when galaxy_ng is installed and the UI must be part of the installation.</p>
<p>This is not a problem for most uses but will be an issue if we need to test unreleased changes in pulpcore for QA purposes.</p>

<p>@dkliban asked me some feedback (pain points) about trying to put Pulp3 in place.</p>
<a name="Background-on-my-use-case"></a>
<h3 >Background on my use case<a href="#Background-on-my-use-case" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<p>In the company I work for, we use ansible in our automation process. And in our automated deployment we provision infrastructure with Debian, OpenSuse and SLES. So for now we manage a server that mirror repos for all those distro. This is a collection of different tools apt-mirror, createrepo, RMT, wget and rsync glued with shell scripts and published with half thousand(for now) of soft links.</p>
<p>So I was interested to put in place Pulp3 with deb, rpm and file plugin on a Debian 10 host, installed with Ansible playbook <code>pulp_installer</code>.</p>

<h3 >Pain Point List<a href="#Pain-Point-List" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<p>I think that most of all my expectations was something more mature, closer to 'Production ready' tool.</p>
<ul>
<li>I expected some CLI as user interface, as I think that a big part of public for this tool is SysAdmin.
Even API is a great interface, it's not comfortable for SysAdmin to manager repos (even more true we it needs to discover how it works)</li>
<li>The lack of external doc, like "tuto: How I mirror Centos and Debian with Pulp"…</li>
<li>Some confusion if the doc/tool is for Pulp2 or Pulp3</li>
<li>Yet another issue tracker to rise issues
(I didn't try really hard but my attempt to auth with github failed…)</li>
<li>The doc to install doc tells you that the prefered method is with Ansible but don't explain you how. Just redirect you to a git repo where you have to found the corresponding doc, which is not easy to find and which is not in line with the latest version on the repo (already explaned that point)</li>
<li>The pulp_installer don't list the system prereq. That's sad because, at least on a fresh installed Debian 10, the playbook fails. I had to add some packages and force the ansible_python_interpreter get the work done.</li>
<li>On the project page you tells that Pulp can manage plainty of repo type, but in fact if you take a fresh version only few plugins are working. Is there at least a compatibility/status matrix explaining that?</li>
</ul>

<p>Nevertheless, I wanted to close on a more positive point, the IRC channel is highly responsive, and people hanging out there are full of goodwill.
Thanks for that!</p>
