Planio Pulp - Story #8846 (NEW): As a pulp_installer user, I do not need to use the latest micro release...https://pulp.plan.io/issues/88462021-06-01T21:12:19Zmdepaulo@redhat.com
<p>Basically, this means that pulp_installer 3.14.0 (or possibly 3.13.1 / 3.13.2) will be able to install pulpcore 3.14.z .</p>
<p>The benefit for users is that they will not need to always have the latest micro version of pulp_installer.</p>
<p>And the benefit to the pulp team is that we will not need to do a pulp_installer micro release for every pulpcore micro release.</p>
<p>This is a variation of the 1 year old proposal for versions/branches in pulp_installer, and a variation of the specific micro release policy we implemented originally in <a class="issue tracker-3 status-1 priority-6 priority-default child parent" title="Story: As a user, I can download & run a version of the ansible installer that a specific version of Pulp 3 (NEW)" href="https://pulp.plan.io/issues/5618">#5618</a>.</p>

<p>As mentioned in <a class="issue tracker-1 status-11 priority-6 priority-default closed" title="Issue: pulp_installer fails to install redis due to no EPEL7 (CLOSED - CURRENTRELEASE)" href="https://pulp.plan.io/issues/7773">#7773</a> , we should refactor our logic to add repos to the system (in a robust & configurable manner) into another role like <code>pulp_repos</code>.</p>
<p>I propose the following design:</p>
<ol>
<li>This is a dependency role. pulp_common, pulp_redis, pulp_database, will all depend on it.</li>
<li>When a role like pulp_common depends on it, it passes variables like <code>__pulp_repos_epel: true</code> to denote which repos the role needs. It passes variables via roles/pulp_common/meta/main.yml : <code>dependencies:</code>
</li>
<li>If a user wants to disable the logic to add the repo (if they added it manually), they'll pass a variable like <code>pulp_repos_epel: false</code> to disable it.</li>
<li>Existing variables for configuring how we add the repos to the system, like <code>epel_release_packages</code>, should still used.</li>
</ol>
<p>This logic is found in:</p>
<ul>
<li>roles/pulp_common/tasks/ambiguously-named-repo.yml</li>
<li>roles/pulp_common/tasks/repos.yml</li>
</ul> Pulp - Story #8491 (NEW): As a user I only download needed collections dependencieshttps://pulp.plan.io/issues/84912021-03-31T20:31:18Zfao89
<p>As some modules are leaving ansible core to collections, we need to declare collections as dependencies so ansible-galaxy can install them.</p>
<p>pulp_installer provides a set of roles, and the user may not use all the roles, pulp_database role needs community.postgresql for example.</p>
<p>How can we deal with these "conditional dependencies"?
"if the user gets pulp_dabase role install community.postgresql else don't install it"</p>

<p>The newer versions of pip include an improved dependency resolution mechanism.

<p>The request to make the installer go faster</p>
<pre><code>A tower standalone install with automation hub takes about ~40 mins. Which is almost more than double of a normal
Tower install. It seems the most of the time we spent is on pulp-common role. Is there anything we are planning to do
in terms of making it little faster (not running same tasks many time, which pulp common role does) ?

<p>As a user I want my socket to be backed up by a systemd implementation.</p>
<p>Under its current form, the installer allows one to use unix domain socket, but not to configure them with a native systemd implementation. This is a RFE for this.</p> Pulp - Task #7668 (NEW): remove pid files from the systemd service fileshttps://pulp.plan.io/issues/76682020-10-07T17:05:32Zdkliban@redhat.com

<p>There is no /var/lib/pulp/content because this is a fresh install. I have created and synced a pulp2 repo.
Directory is created however it does not belong to the pulp group, in addition the setgid is missing and there is no write permission for the group.</p>

<p>pulp_rpm_prerequisites exists because the installer has had a plugin neutral policy.</p>
<p>This policy was for very long misunderstood: It's not about avoiding favoritism to any plugins, it's about not tying the installer (which is tied to pulpcore releases) to plugin releases. So that say pulpcore 3.3 logic would be in pulp_installer 3.3 release, and so that pulp_cardboardbox 0.7 logic would be in the pulp_cardboardbox_prerequisites 0.7 role.</p>
<p>The team now agrees that this policy is counter-productive because:</p>
<ol>
<li>Having a role in a separate repo (not part of the pulp_installer collection) is extra work for developers, and for users.</li>
<li>The only plugin that currently needs a prereq role, pulp_rpm, has version numbers and releases that correspond to pulpcore releases. pulp_rpm 3.3.z needs pulpcore 3.3.z, etc. So the pulp_rpm specific installation logic can be safely bundled in pulp_installer 99% of the time.</li>
</ol> Pulp - Story #6688 (NEW): pulp_installer: preflight check and system-wide packages are incompatiblehttps://pulp.plan.io/issues/66882020-05-08T14:40:15Zmdepaulo@redhat.com
<p>Part of the pre-flight check does not understand system-wide packages, but another part is still affected by them.</p>
<p>This leads to false positives (enforcements) in addition to false negatives in the preflight check.</p>
<p>We no longer need system-wide packages, so we should remove support for it, and migrate user installs off of it, as safely as possible.</p> Pulp - Story #5618 (NEW): As a user, I can download & run a version of the ansible installer that...https://pulp.plan.io/issues/56182019-10-25T08:37:28Zmdepaulo@redhat.com
<p>Currently users are encouraged to get the latest ansible-pulp roles via git cloning. Later on, Ansible Galaxy.</p>
<p>The only stable tag ever done was 3.0.0rc1. Presumably we will create them for 3.0.0 and later.<br>
<a href="https://github.com/pulp/ansible-pulp/releases" class="external">https://github.com/pulp/ansible-pulp/releases</a></p>
<p>However, consider the following scenario (hypothetical release dates):<br>
1. They download the roles (either method) on Apr 1. They are versioned as 3.0.3 and install pulp 3.0.3<br>
2. They run them against their test env and it works.<br>
3. Pulp 3.1.0 & ansible-pulp 3.1.0 are released on Apr 15.<br>
4. They run the 3.0.3 roles against their prod env on May 1.<br>
5. The 3.0.3 roles try to install pulp 3.1.0 from pip, but fails due to the lack of new logic.</p>
<p>It would make sense to have a variable for the pulp version to install, that defaults to the same version as the roles, but can be overriden (but doing so is discouraged.)</p>
<p>Plugin versions would also be an issue. Let's discuss how this can be handled.</p>
<p>Also, I am not sure if there is an existing task for publishing the roles (other than pulp_rpm_prerequisites) to Ansible Galaxy (pulp project on it.):<br>
