Pulp + Vagrant + Ansible

Instructions

Download files:

$ git clone https://github.com/rodrigobrim/pulp-vagrant.git

Change to downloaded directory to call vagrant commands:

$ cd pulp-vagrant

$ vagrant up

That's all to provision the Pulp VM. Now we can do all pulp interactions. To do so, connect to the VM:

$ vagrant ssh

Log-in on Pulp:

$ pulp-admin login -u admin -p admin

Create a repo (in this example, we'll create and sync a Docker CE repo):

$ pulp-admin rpm repo create --repo-id=docker-ce-stable --description 'Docker CE Stable - x86_64' --display-name 'Docker CE Stable - x86_64' --feed=https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/7/x86_64/stable

Sync repo now:

$ pulp-admin rpm repo sync run --repo-id docker-ce-stable

Schedule sync all days, at 4h45 AM:

$ pulp-admin rpm repo sync schedules create --schedule "2017-08-01T04:45Z/P1D" --repo-id docker-ce-stable

On the consummer (yum clients), create the repofile:

$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/docker-ce.repo

With:

[docker-example-repo]
name=Docker Internal Pulp repository for EL $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=https://pulp.dev/pulp/repos/linux/centos/$releasever/$basearch/stable
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
sslverify=0
proxy=_none_

Check the result:

$ yum search docker-ce

Proxy

Change the proxy settings on:

playbook.yml
yum_importer.json

All four proxy variables on yum_importer.json must be present. If you want to deploy without proxy, ajust the playbook.yml to don't copy the yum_importer.json.
